New Cat Dating Sim Announced (Yes, Seriously)

You can start going on dates as soon as this winter.

Ever wondered what it would be like to go on a date with a cat? Well, wonder no more.

From developer Bae team and publisher Bossa Studios (Surgeon Simulator) comes the new cat dating sim/visual novel Purrfect Date. The game, coming to PC and iOS this winter, has human players date talking cats while uncovering the mysteries of Cat Island.

Purrfect Date is split into seven chapters, where you assume the role of different research assistants. While carrying out your very important research about the dark and mysterious Cat Island, you can romance felines and balance your stats.

The game is said to be inspired by Hatoful Boyfriend, Pony Island, and Undertale. Purrfect Date is being developed by two people: Bossa Studios’ content producer and Bae Team co-founder Oliver Hindle, and his girlfriend and other Bae Team co-founder Ruby-Mae Roberts.

"Cats, intrigue, dating sims, the TV show Lost… all of these things became the ingredients that went into making Purrfect Date," said Roberts.

"It’s an amalgamation of everything we love, and in essence, a love letter to each other (and cats)."
