Evaluation

Sucker for Love: First Date launched on January 20, 2022 as a complete three-chapter visual novel/dating sim. Post-launch activity was limited to bug fix patches and a Chinese localization update, all within the first year. The developer announced a sequel, Sucker for Love: Date to Die For, in September 2022, with its own separate Steam page and demo — no additional content was ever announced for First Date itself. The most recent post on this game's news feed (October 15, 2025) was a routine security patch addressing a Unity engine vulnerability, confirming the game is maintained but not receiving new content. A May 2026 post about limited-edition merchandise (plushies) is franchise-level marketing that spans both games and does not signal new in-game content for First Date. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmaps, and no developer statements pointing to future content for this title. The game shipped as a complete, self-contained package.

About this game

Obsessed with occult rituals, you have finally obtained the last thing you need to summon the eldritch horror that has been haunting your dreams; a strange, bright-pink Necronomicon. You perform the only ritual that doesn’t appear to be insane ramblings, and inadvertently summon Ln’eta, a cute cthulhu-like girl. She agrees to a kiss, on the condition that you perform a few rituals from the book for her first. Looking back at the Necronomicon… all of the other pages suddenly make sense?

Three chapters of laughs, screams, and tears, all in one thick package!
Every decision you make will significantly affect gameplay and determine which ending you arrive at!
Immersive re-imagining of the visual novel genre loaded with gameplay!
"Three" "fully-voiced" "dateable" "girls"
A stylish artistic/musical direction reminiscent of old-school anime and dating sims!
No horror elements or danger whatsoever
