Are you looking for love in the most hilarious of places? If your heart’s answer is yes, then we’ve got the right games to tickle your hearts and sides! The Dating Sim genre, with its “choose-your-own-adventure” gameplay and having a peculiar set of dating candidates, has always been quite niche. An acquired taste, if you will.
But the genre shines when the games become parodies of itself. Don’t expect to date normal guys and gals in these entries—we’re going balls to the walls with this list! So free up an afternoon this weekend (a la a date) and buy Steam card online to experience 5 of the most hilarious dating sims on Steam. Let’s not make your dates wait, shall we?
Hatoful Boyfriend
Pigeons as dates? Before you doth protest, this is one of the legends—a total icon—in the world of hilarious dating sim games. It rocked the gaming world back in 2011 for its goofy setup, and to this day it continues to ruffle some feathers (in a good way).
In it, you’re the only human in an all-birds school. As you get your bearings, you encounter some of the most interesting feathered friends in your new coop. From a snobbish French aristocrat pigeon to a sporty bird obsessed with pudding, ready your heart for a unique romance to take flight!
I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator
Never in a million years did anyone expect the KFC man to be a probable dating sim candidate, but that changed with the release of this game back in 2019. In this game, Colonel Sanders is your attractive classmate in a cooking school and your goal is to woo him with your fried chicken-filled charm.
The even more hilarious thing about this is that it is a legitimate game commissioned by KFC themselves. The renowned chain restaurant aimed to market the brand into pop culture. And you know what? It finger-lickin’ worked.
PacaPlus
We all know the “Would you still love me if I was a worm?” meme, but what if your girlfriend turns into an alpaca? On his way home from the Alpaca Kingdom, Kazuma suddenly finds himself in this predicament after a nap. His girlfriend, for some inexplicable reason, has turned into an alpaca!
Join Kazua as he gets to the bottom of this mystery while continuing to date his girlfriend. It’s a short dating sim anime game, but PacaPlus knows how to deliver zany humor and adorable alpaca art in the limited time it has.
Purrfect Date
As a professor’s assistant, your job is to observe the feline residents of Cat Island. However, behind this fluffy paradise, something seems afoot. You might have to get closer to your research subjects to get to the bottom of things!
Purrfect Date is not your typical dating sim game, as it mixes humor, mystery, and mayhem into its “dating” gameplay. It seems like the cats may be the key to saving you from the island’s mystery, after all.
Monster Prom
Nothing’s worse than a monster without a date for prom! Use your wits to be “your worst self” to charm the socks off of your fellow monster schoolmates. From grumpy demons to mermaid royalty, you’ll have to be smart with your answers to win their hearts!
While its art and premise are great, what makes Monster Prom stand out is its competitive dating sim aspect. You can play multiplayer with friends and compete against each other to win the heart of your favorite monster!
