Boyfriend Dungeon (2021)
Date up to nine-ish weapons, from dancing swords to heart-piercing daggers Generated action-combat dungeons and challenges! Stay sharp! Various combat styles. For example, hit hard and dodge quickly with the dagger, or take on crowds with Lasersaber Inclusive, tasteful approach to gender and sexuality - male, female, and non-binary romance Let's get to the point: take your weapon-babes on romantic outings, such as to the club or the beach You move into your cousin's old apartment, rent-free for the summer. Plus, he'll help you solve your little problem... you've never been on a date in your life! To get some confidence and meet people, plus earn a little cash, you’re tasked with clearing the creatures in “the dunj”. Soon you discover weapons you find transform into cuties… and they’re SINGLE! (What a craaazy coincidence because you also happen to be up for grabs yourself.) But someone's abducting weapons and leaving them damaged in the dungeon! Who could do such a thing? Will you solve the blade-napping mystery? Will you find love? Or, friendship, at least? Craft gifts for your bae blades and give them when the time is right, whether it's in the dunj or out on the town. After all, a couple that slays together, stays together. Estoc (Isaac): the sharpest dresser Dagger (Valeria): tired of backstabs Talwar (Sunder): worried he’s becoming an antique Lasersaber (Seven): hard to get a handle on him Glaive (Sawyer): awkward in the wrong hands Scythe (Rowan): reaping what they sow Brass Knuckles (Pocket): loves cat naps Axe (Jonah): surfer sweetie Hammer (Leah): fashionable and cute Whip (Dr. Holmes): Cannot be wielded Date them all without a care, you polyarmourous dual-wielder, or just be best friends. Either way, you can reach max Love Rank, because platonic love is also real love. (Besides, you can't be romantic with the cat anyway. Calm down.) If that's not enough for you, mod your own! The devs have already added basic support for changing out weapon looks -- keep an eye on updates for more features to help you blacksmith your own sharp cuties and trade them with your friends.
