A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator' is set to release near the end of September on Steam, challenging players to "be the business partner of and win the heart of the most famous chicken salesman of all time."
The game promises to be "the most delicious dating simulator ever created," with friends and multiple hours of play, although it comes with battles and rivals that promise to challenge the gameplay and keep players on their toes.
