How to Date an Entity (and stay alive)

How to Date an Entity (and stay alive) is a short visual novel game that blends dating sim mechanics with analog horror elements. You play as a character who wakes up to find a tall, mysterious woman in your room. The catch? You need to win her affection to survive. As you navigate through conversations and choices, your fate depends on an “Interest Meter” that tracks how well you’re doing. With eerie visuals and unsettling interactions, the game keeps you guessing whether you’re courting a potential lover or something far more dangerous.

The game features 10 possible endings, each determined by how effectively you manage the Interest Meter. Your dialogue choices and reactions directly influence the outcome—say the wrong thing, and you might meet a gruesome fate. The short length of each playthrough (15 to 20 minutes per ending) encourages replayability, but the atmosphere and tension make every run feel different. Some endings are straightforward, while others reveal deeper layers of horror lurking beneath the surface of your unusual date.

Created in just seven days by developer SFour, How to Date an Entity combines quirky humor with a sense of dread, balancing lighthearted dating sim tropes with creepy, otherworldly visuals. The game features multiple languages (English, Russian, Turkish) and includes suggestive content like blood, unsettling imagery, and dark humor. Its simple design and eerie art style draw players into a world where romance and survival are tightly intertwined. Whether you’re aiming to unlock all endings or just survive one date, this game offers a unique, entertaining experience.
