The stage is set with us arriving to meet our cousin Jesse at Verona Beach for a summer vacation, a vacation on which he intends to introduce us to the world of dating and getting to know other people – both platonic and romantically.
BOYFRIEND DUNGEON STALKING UPDATE
While the update is admirable, the revelations are so thinly sketched, and the character so irritating, it’s surprising it’s warranted any discussion beyond mere annoyance.Full disclosure: Not only did we receive a copy of the game from the publisher but today’s author also backed the game on Kickstarter! You can find author Jamous within the backer credits!īoyfriend Dungeon is both a dating sim and a light dungeon crawler. It’s a shame the overarching story, centred around an arrogant and invasive shop worker called Eric, comes off as rushed and unfulfilling in comparison.ĭeveloper Kitfox Games are updating the game’s content warning though, to better describe the main story’s darker themes, which involves stalking, after some complaints. The writing is charming, cheeky, and sometimes unexpected, with most characters hiding some insecurity or secret that’s worth seeing through. You’ll want to pursue each relationship too. It makes Boyfriend Dungeon a welcoming and open-minded experience, where you’re encouraged to experiment and fulfil each relationship, even if it is platonic.
There’s a text exchange where you’re asked whether you’re monogamous, but it’s easily brushed off and doesn’t have any impact on future choices. In the character creation you can change your pronouns regardless of gender, while juggling multiple partners (male, female and in one playful case, animal) is largely accepted to help work out your preferences. Kill monsters with their weapon and you’ll level up your relationship, opening up new date encounters on the surface to unlock upgrades.īoyfriend Dungeon generally shares this healthy, diverse attitude in all its mechanics. When you aren’t flirting in human form, you’re using them to slay monsters within the ‘dunj’ – a multi-floored dungeon filled with bizarre manifestations of your fears. Within 30 minutes of beginning your summer getaway in beachside town Verona – where your cousin Jesse is adamant about helping you to overcome your fear of dating – you’re meeting up with multiple guys across town, listening to their woes, crafting gifts for them from bits of rubbish, responding to endless pinging texts, and all so you can wield their powerful weapon.īefore you snigger to death, the world of Boyfriend Dungeon contains individuals who can morph into swords, daggers, scythes, and other deadly arms.
