Speed dating is not my thing. Being forced into getting to know someone enough to start a possible relationship with them in a couple of minutes sounds frustrating, Pugs however are one of my things. So maybe speed dating a pug will convince me that speed dating as a whole isn’t so bad.

Hot Date was released on PC, MAC, and Linux on the 28th of May, 2013, and was later released on the iOS on the 16th of December. It was entirely designed by one man, George Batchelor, except for the soundtrack, which was by Levi Pack.

The game is so simple that there isn’t even a main menu, you just jump right into the gameplay. The game starts just as you sit down at a speed dating event, and you’re sitting right across from a pug. You start up a conversation by picking from a list of greetings, and soon you’re going down a rabbit hole of asking a weird series of questions.

From them, the game is seeing what amusing answers you’ll get. Each date is pretty short, which is to be expected, so it’ll take several playthroughs to see all, if not most of the content. The game takes 30 to 45 minutes to see all of the content. So it’s playable in an afternoon or a couple of lunchbreaks, and is worth checking out on a rainy day.

Even though there isn’t much here, I’d say check it out. The PC, Max, and Linux versions of the game are pay what you want, but i recommend throwing in a dollar or two to the creators. The iOS version however requires money upfront, and costs $1.99USD/1.49.
