What does one do when their partner dies in a tragic accident, leaving them dismembered and disemboweled? Harvest the body parts of the innocent of course! Play as Dr. Luvinstein, a mad scientist turned serial dater turned possible serial killer as you attempt to collect all the parts required to bring your one true love back to the world of the living… or will you find a new love along the way?
In a world of monsters and mythical beings, is being a murderer really that bad? Luckily in this town there are plenty of potential donors for your project…
Looking for love or a couple of limbs? You’ve come to the right place!
Meet our singles!
Josh! He's a protein focused gym bro with a brain to match, luckily you don’t need one of those. Thankfully his muscles make up for it. Huh... Would dating him make you a furry…?
Vlad! A vampire with a knack for award-winning films, specifically. The two of you can partake in creating your very own rom-com! Or maybe something a bit more harrowing… How about a slasher?
Ivy! She’s a musician who hates her job waiting tables. But who doesn’t these days? Hey, maybe murdering her would be doing her a solid!
Theo! A socially awkward, living, breathing teddy bear. Will they steal your heart, or will you steal theirs?
Gwendolyn! The goddess of life and death. Join her cult today or perish! Unless you get to her first. Note: Meetings are on Tuesdays from 12 PM to 3 PM. Snacks are provided on the last Tuesday of every month.
And of course
Your old flame! Can your love survive a traumatic, life-altering experience or did plopping their brain in a jar make them a walking- er, sitting red flag?

hii !! idk if its just for me, i have the mac build and it opens perfectly but the screen is really really big like bigger than my screen so i cant play because i cant even see the option for "settings" :( i hope this can be fixed so i can play the game as well <33
i like this game! but i cant seem to find the graveyard for vlad and im not sure how to finish the game because of it :( is there anyway i can move the map or something like that?
thanks!
Hey, first of all, this is a really neato theme, title deserving that name, too and I'm excited to see how it will unfold out from here as I'm playing it.
Though, the first problem I encounter, it seems that I can't save the game beside just on the autosave/slot 0, Also, I think the game is supposed to be fullscreen like I've seen from others? On me it's just kind of like borderless windowed mode though, with my taskbar still visible and all. I can't play on browser since my hardware doesn't support it, either sooo hopefully these technical issues aren't because of my own device's spec haha, would be a shame but I can watch some players and rate this judging from there, probably, if it turns out I'm unable to play through myself.
Hi, Thank you for bringing this to our attention! We have a bug fix in the windows and browser versions so it should no longer be an issue. Thank you for playing!
Thanks 🙏
I love the story, the characters are fun, but I noticed some errors near the end that made progressing the game impossible. I'm not mad about it this is an alpha version after all. I'm looking forward to being able to finish the game. You've done a great job.
Thank you for playing!! We appreciate your feedback and thank you for being patient with us <3
