In this uniquely absurd mishmash of adventure and dating game, you are a house looking for love on an island of eligible bachelor pads
Navigating the perils of the contemporary dating scene is a formidable task for any singleton. How much do you really have in common with this stranger? Do you share the same values? Can you be vulnerable enough to let them in? With Building Relationships, game developer Tanat Boozayaangool considers all of these pressing questions, while asking one more – what if you were also a house?
Yes, the title of this dating adventure game is to be taken literally. In Building Relationships, you play as the latest eligible “bachelorx pad” on an island of romantic opportunity. Your main goal is to crack on with its other citizens, which include himbo tents, blunt houseboats, and a windmill, for good measure. “Millie (the windmill) is pretty flirty, and it comes out of nowhere sometimes,” says Boozayaangool. “People are either really into it or not at all.”
Building Relationships will be released on PC; release date TBC
