About This Game

"Have you ever felt like you were drowning in sadness, grasping for something to keep you afloat? I know that feeling all too well. Melancholy Date is the story of my journey through depression, and the search for love amidst the melancholy."

Melancholy Date is a unique combination of a match-3 puzzle game and a visual novel, allowing you to both challenge your puzzle-solving skills and connect with the main character, Maxine. With beautiful visuals and a relaxing soundtrack, Melancholy Date is a personal and intimate experience that invites you to step into her world and see it through her eyes as she is trying to find love. Fight your inner demons and find your lost self-confidence as you match tokens representing your thoughts and fears!

Features:
  • A unique combination of a match-3 puzzle game and a visual novel
  • Beautiful visuals and a poignant soundtrack
  • A story that explores the intersection of mental health and romance
  • Unlock unique images from Maxine's life and dating
  • Match puzzle pieces to uncover the story of Maxine's journey through depression
  • Challenge your puzzle-solving skills as you progress through the game

Gameplay:
Match gems of the same color to progress through levels and uncover the story. The game is divided into multiple chapters and each chapter has a few match 3 levels with increasing difficulty. There is also a tutorial level explaining the mechanics. After solving a level, you unlock an image - discover hidden scenes from Maxine's life as you progress through the game. You can find these images later in the gallery. The difficulty of the game is challenging, yet not hard. It is the perfect difficulty for anyone to enjoy the story and immerse themselves in the puzzle!

Game play is a re-hash of the developers previous match three games (which I knew when I purchased it). However, the game makes no sense. Where in the other games, you get rewarded by lewd renders after each level, here you just get a render that doesn't make sense. That could be ok, if the game would deal with melancholy and depression in a serious manner, but instead it just has a "have you tried not being depressed" approach, which I find quite scandalous for such a serious topic. Apart from this appalling approach to depression, the game still have some nudity in it. For some reason, the main character suddenly gets nude if you score enough points. This is in line with the other games from the developer, but complete inappropriate if the setting is supposed to deal with depression in a serious manner. All in all, the game fails as a lewd games and as a serious game whichever it tries to be.
