Running the agency
Clients walk in with their interests, personality, looks and income already on file. Your job is to dig through Kitty's little black book and find them a match that actually fits, then send them out looking their best with the right gift in hand. Get it right and your reputation grows, which brings pickier clients, new date venues and upgrades for the agency, including a salon and a gift shop. Get it wrong and, well, there is a sea of broken hearts option on the table. Each date plays out in a short session, so it is easy to fit in one more couple before you stop. Or five more couples.
Dates that go wrong in funny ways
Matching people is only half the work. Once two hopefuls are seated across from each other, you coach them through the conversation and the many dating dilemmas that follow, helped along by minigames that add a jolt of panic at the worst possible moment. One moment everything is going perfectly, the next you are scrambling to save the date by any means necessary, including the occasional convincing lie. Kitty Powers herself chimes in throughout with audacious advice and voice overs, and her commentary is a big part of why the game stays funny hour after hour. It is British, campy and completely unbothered about taking itself seriously.
Can you play it in short bursts?
How long does a session take?
A single date fits comfortably into ten to fifteen minutes, so the game works well for quick sessions or for playing on the go. There is no pressure to commit to long stretches: you can match one couple and stop, or keep going through a whole parade of clients if the evening allows.
Is there anything to do beyond matching couples?
Yes. Couples you matched sometimes send updates on how they are doing, which is a nice payoff for the effort.
Is the game inclusive?
Yes. Clients are procedurally generated and the game happily matches same-sex couples alongside everyone else, with a colorful cast that reflects a wide range of genders and orientations. Love is for all, as the agency's boss would be the first to tell you.
