Unexpected genre switch: Russian devs create dating sim instead of horror game

Hey everyone, I just heard about this funny mixup in game development. Two Russian game makers were trying to create a spooky horror game, but somehow ended up with a dating sim instead! Can you imagine their surprise when they realized what happened?

I’m really curious about how this could have happened. Maybe they got their code files mixed up? Or did they accidentally use assets from a different project? It’s kind of hilarious to think about scary monsters turning into potential love interests.

Has anyone else heard about this story? What do you think might have caused this genre swap? And do you think they’ll actually release the dating sim, or try to turn it back into a horror game? Let me know your thoughts!

That’s a wild twist! Wonder if they’ll keep some spooky elements.

I’d be down to play a horror-romance mashup. Could be a cool new genre if they run with it.

Maybe the monsters just wanted love all along?

That’s pretty hilarious! Game development can go in weird directions sometimes. I’d be curious to see how a horror-turned-dating sim actually plays. Could be a fun twist if they kept some creepy elements mixed with the romance stuff.

Sounds like a happy accident to me! Maybe they’ll keep some creepy vibes and make it a gothic romance. Could be pretty cool actually. I’d give it a shot if they release it. Might be a refreshing twist on both genres.

That’s wild! I can see how it could happen though. Game dev is chaotic and sometimes things take on a life of their own. Maybe they started with a spooky premise but the characters got too likeable. Or the atmosphere shifted from scary to romantic as they were building it out. I’d totally play a horror-themed dating sim. Imagine wooing Dracula or the Bride of Frankenstein!

What a twist! Bet the monsters are secretly sweet romantics.

I’d love to see how this dating sim turns out. Could be a hit if they lean into the weird premise.
