Remember last year when Palworld teased everyone with the prospect of a dating sim based on Palworld? It was a great gag. A+ joke. Also it appears to have not actually been a joke but to be something real, as the spinoff dating sim now has a full Steam page and a video trailer like this is a real thing that’s happening. Oh dear. This appears to be happening.
And if you think we are overreacting, please read the summary on the game’s Steam page:
You, the protagonist, enroll as a transfer student in the prestigious Palpagos Private Academy. You will meet unique friends (pals) and enjoy school life through friendship and romance. It’s up to you whether you stay friends with the pals, develop romantic relationships with them, or even dismember and eat them.
Sorry, what was that last bit again?
It’s up to you whether you stay friends with the pals, develop romantic relationships with them, or even dismember and eat them.
Well all right then, this sounds somewhat unhinged and we don’t know how to react to it. This is weird. Then again, that’s kind of par for the course, so maybe we’re the problem here. There’s no pre-order information or anything on the game’s Steam page, so maybe it’s still just a really elaborate joke. Or maybe it’s a dating sim where you can dismember and eat potential romantic partners. Who even knows any more.
