Hooked On You is a Dead by Daylight dating sim – a sentence which I thought would never exist before, and now feel foolish for ever doubting. If there’s one thing I should have learned after playing Dead by Daylight for so long, it’s that the community is one of the horniest I’ve ever been part of.
So it was only a matter of time before Behaviour Interactive took notice of that and, with a little help from a community vote, decided to put their plan in action and team up with Psyop (I Love You, Colonel Sanders!) to deliver a dating experience like no other. And, for those who have played the asymmetrical horror game? Hooked On You feels like a messy, but well-meaning love letter from the developers to Dead by Daylight players from start to finish.
The general gist of Hooked on You is that you play as yourself, only it’s a you that has managed to wash up on a beach island where there’s a omnipresent Narrator that lives in your head and the deep, dark Ocean is one vague threat away from killing you. And if you think that’s bad, then guess what? There’s also 4 bloodthirsty killers that live on Murderers Island, and all are willing to hack you into pieces if you make the wrong (or right, I’m not here to judge your tastes) choice. Fans will recognize these Killers (and romance interests) as The Huntress, The Trapper, The Spirit and The Wraith, and each has a compelling side to them that’ll either reward your interest in them, or send you to packing to the afterlife with a few less limbs.

I played the game earlier today and the writing is not amazing tbh. The art is super fun but as a dating sim it’s eh. You do get a cool outfit for DbD at least.
If you want a good dating sim with horror themes check out monster prom on steam.
