About Kaichu - The Kaiju Dating Sim
KAIJU ROMANCE

LANGUAGE OF LOVE
Don't worry if you're new to romance or don't speak any love languages because kaiju are notoriously non-verbal. Kaichu's two news anchors will interpret and report on the destructive courtship dance. Through the reporters’ expert analysis, the player learns about the preferences of the kaiju and apply that knowledge during each date’s relationship quiz to progress the story.
DEMOLITION DATING
Kaiju communicate through a destructive courtship ritual. Love interests will prompt Gigachu with questions to compare compatibility, and the relationship grows stronger or weaker depending on how well your answers match up. Each kaiju is different, so it’s up to you, as Gigachu, to learn more about the other kaiju, and apply that knowledge during each date.
MONUMENTAL DESTRUCTION
Explore the globe and take your dates to twenty-four of the world’s most memorable landmarks and have yourselves a smashing time! The military might have something to say about your monumental destruction though, and will try to stop your reckless pursuit of romance. Will you overcome the challenges of the kaiju dating scene and seal your love with a kiss?
Give romance a chance, and let love smash its way into your heart with Kaichu!

It's cute, but shallow. It feels more like a Tinder match for a quick hook-up as opposed to being a dating sim. Characters are fickle. You need to get the best answer nearly all of the time. I played through one ending with Tephra. Animations are cute. The questions asked are answered by best guessing what the character would like. Tephra is a volcano, so things related to volcanoes are usually the right answer. It's shallow, so, so, shallow. And while that first run was ok, it was ok in the most minute of ways. It's like sitting on the couch casually watching Netflix while you doom scroll on social media. It's just a way to pass time. The gameplay loop is similar if you choose someone else. From a dating sim perspective this is woefully absent of the things that typically make this genre enjoyable.2 found this helpful
wanted to play this for awhile and was really excited about trading a key for it, but it's pretty disappointing, flat, and repetitive. it was fun and i originally thought it was cute and it made me smile. but then when i went to 100% it started to get tedious and irksome real quick. especially with the game's tendency to recycle questions. while some of the jokes are funny, the humor gets rather corny at times. there is no proper plot regression and every 'route' in the game is pretty much the same. i think the most fascinating twist in the game was the bird flu thing going on, but that was it. the art and the character designs are fun and adorable, however. i love how gigachu goes by chu/chus pronouns by default. on that topic, i like the diverse choice of pronouns too! just wish this game was better, especially since i love kaijus and think they're pretty sick. my rating, overall, is a 2.5!1 found this helpful
Gigachu is adorable hehe1 found this helpful
I LOVE KISSING MONSTERS
adorable. i'd love a date where I can just break things with someone
A short yet sweet game with cute character designs. The story gets a little repetitive if you're trying to date all the monsters, but with it being so short it's not a huge deal.
