About the Game

A dating sim rhythm game where you seduce serial killers!

Indulge in an mysterious adventure filled with risk, romance, comedy, and death. Put your rhythm skills to the test as you try to win over the hearts of six serial killers—if you can survive them.

After waking in an unfamiliar house, you find yourself stuck with a group of strangers, all as confused as you are. Together you try to reveal the mysteries of the house and what brought you all there.

The narrative of Serial Lover is presented in a visual novel format with frequent player choices for additional dialogue. As you progress through phases of the game, you can choose a killer to pursue, but are challenged with a rhythm game you must complete to seduce them!

Content and features:

  • 6 killers to seduce, each with their own endings and backstories!

  • 23 original rhythm tracks to master - from beautiful ballads to neck-breaking bangers!

  • 19 CG character artworks to reveal!

  • 4 semi-branching chapters of comedic, dramatic, and downright deplorable narrative experiences!

  • Partial voice acting!

  • Arcade mode and leaderboards for rhythm game sweats!

Killers to die for!

Serial Lover features a roster of 6 romanceable characters, each one more peculiar than the last.

Teddy Denver - Socially awkward public embarrassment. Confidently wrong. Doesn't really care about anything.

Jenny Burnham - Burning pit of hatred and murder. Ready to explode at the drop of a hat. Previously a nurse.

Edwina Kennedy - Wholesome optimist and hands-on country girl. No flaws whatsoever. Protect at all costs.

Andria Cermak - Seductive siren with a craving for meat. You can trust her with your life. Definitely.

Ben Conway - Reliable support and trusted companion. A partner-in-crime until the end.

Harmony Sharpe - An intellectual amongst the commoners. Flawless logic. Abhorrent god complex.

This game contains mature content and dark themes that may be disturbing to some audiences.
