Press kit
A deckbuilder roguelite about gay dating. The dating world can be cruel. Don't let those guys crush your self-esteem. Crush theirs first!
Win the Date is a single-player card game about going on dates.
Choose one of three personalities, pick a date, and sit down for a card battle. Shatter their self-esteem, and leave with yours intact. May the worst man win!
Choose one of three personalities, each with its own playstyle. Overwhelm them with your strength, never give them an opening with endless chatter, or predict their next move and use it against them.
Pick your date and sit down for a card battle. Prove you're the better man, shatter their self-esteem, and leave with yours intact.
Control the tug-of-war energy system. Every card you play pushes the marker toward their side, so the more you spend on your turn, the more they have on theirs.
After you've finished the game there is more to find: keep exploring the world of Win the Date, overcome tough challenges, gain decorations for your profile and find hidden surprises.

At Bearly Fun Games we explore the queer experience. We experiment with how game mechanics can complement queer experiences. That's how Win the Date was born. It's a card battler, but it's also a mirror held up to the ridiculous, painful, and hilarious reality of modern dating.
