Speed Dates

More than a game.

turkish dating fmv with an unconventionally large character roster. 18 ladies, probably every friend, family member and neighbor they could find. got fixed up after release to include customizable subs (size and color) in english and other languages, more branching and about 2 hours of content, according to the patch notes, but see the end of the review. there's a volume slider, also in the pause menu brought up with esc. the english translation isn't terrible but [b]some of the subs go by fast and don't always match the person talking[/b]. the transparent pause menu doesn't cover much, so it can be used to avoid missing anything. it hides options if pressed during a fork in the road but [b]choices aren't timed[/b], always a plus. progress and settings are stored in the registry, always a minus. [b]no saving or scene skip[/b] may or may not be a dealbreaker, depending on how the game is structured. for a linearish movie where I do a second run with opposite choices and mostly new scenes, then youtube or watch the rest outside the game, I usually let no skip slide, but saving should still happen relatively frequently. here, videos are in a big-ass unity file, can't conveniently be …

Awkward questions with wild answers that oftentimes don't actually correspond to whatever Murat (the protagonist) actually says. One girl asked if I like talking to people on the internet in a forum or dictionary (machine translation might be wrong here?) and when I said "no", Murat just suddenly started talking about the excess of misinformation and how people shouldn't be allowed to use the internet unless they pass a test. What the hell? You cannot skip scenes. Some dates are incredibly boring, others are short but don't give you much to work with, and then there's some that are just outright uncomfortable. If the roles were reversed, Leyla, for instance, would be considered an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that doesn't respect boundaries. It feels like a good representation of the awkwardness and discomfort but even the good moments of speed dating but the game is weirdly edited, the questions don't make a lot of sense, and at times, it just breaks the immersion so much when you say one thing and Murat instead becomes a weirdo. Some conversations feel like chat bots talking to each other and not responding to each other whatsoever, instead just listing factoids or whatever. Very rough around the…

Speed Dates is a live-action interactive romance game developed and published by Icarus Interactive Entertainment that blends the format of a dating simulator with the cinematic style of a full-motion-video experience. Rather than relying on animated characters or traditional gameplay systems, the game presents its story through filmed scenes with real actors. The player participates in a series of speed-dating encounters where dialogue choices determine how conversations unfold and ultimately shape the romantic outcomes of the evening. The story revolves around Murat, a man attending a speed-dating event in hopes of finding a meaningful connection. The concept is simple but relatable: Murat has only a few minutes with each participant, and those brief interactions determine whether a relationship has the potential to continue. Each conversation becomes a delicate balancing act where the player must choose between different approaches such as humor, honesty, flirtation, or curiosity. The responses chosen by the player influence how each character reacts, leading to a wide variety of narrative paths that reflect the unpredictable nature of first impressions. The gameplay structure…
