Description

You have been imprisoned in the royal dungeon. Forced to participate in weekly gladiatorial combat, you will surely die unless you make some powerful friends. Manage your day-to-day life in the dungeon, date your fellow inmates (who are monsters) and fight by their side to survive and escape in this innovative time-management dating-sim RPG where every choice matters and every playthrough is different.

History

The idea for Kill Your Darlings first came to life during one of our game jams in late 2023. Initially developed under the working title Kerkerkumpels, the prototype quickly made a strong impression within our studio, and we decided to continue its development. Since then, a small team, joined by new reinforcements, has been working to bring the game to Steam in the near future.

Features

  • Live your day-to-day life as a prisoner in a dungeon
  • Carefully manage your time, for it is limited
  • Date your inmates, who are monsters
  • Fight by their side in gladiatorial combat
  • Try to keep them alive...
  • ...or live with the consequences of your actions
