The Summer of Demos : Day Six

The dating simulator is a staple of video games from the stat-based Tokimeki Memorial to parodies like Hatoful Boyfriend. A standout of Day of the Devs, Building Relationships isn’t one of these.

Dubbed “like A Short Hike…but stupid” by its creator Tanat Boozayangool, you play as a lonely building looking for love on a resort getaway. You roll around to move and slowly unlock more momentum abilities to speed around the island.

Unwind, fish and wavedash as you try to romance the Bachelorx Pads dotted around the island. The demo lets you meet a couple of eligible buildings and dabble in the fishing minigame but there’s plenty to look forward to in the full game.

In a word : swanking.

Building Relationships is an upcoming silly adventure developed and published by Tan Ant Games for PC via Steam coming soon.

This article is part of the Summer of Demos series, where I’ll be releasing a Demo Diving preview article each day in July. If you liked this article, be sure to share it with a friend or enemy. If you back me on Patreon, you get access to articles one day before they release anywhere else. If we reach £25/month before the end of July, I’ll extend the Summer of Demos into August.
