Sucker for Love: Crush Landing Mixes Romance With Cosmic Horror

Developer Akabaka is back with a new entry in the series, Sucker for Love: Crush Landing. This time, players try to date a meteorite named Hheily who crash lands right into their apartment. It is a strange and unique mix of a classic dating sim and chilling cosmic horror.

Fans of the previous game will find the setting familiar. You are trapped in an apartment complex where eldritch beings seem to gather, and your main task is to keep Hheily alive by feeding her specific items. Managing your resources is key, because if you run out of time or feed her the wrong things, your date will come to a messy end.

As you get closer to your celestial crush, the game moves past the initial humor and begins to touch on some heavy moral dilemmas. You are forced to decide what you are willing to sacrifice for love, including the fate of the world. The writing does a great job of making your choices feel significant as the horror elements ramp up.

While the game is on the shorter side, it offers great replay value. There are many different paths to take, and your decisions determine if you survive or help end reality as you know it. If you enjoy stories that blend bizarre romance with the visual style of artists like Junji Ito, this is one to check out.
