Lovelink is a dating simulation from Montreal-based game company Ludia. The game is full of virtual characters ranging from humans with interesting jobs, to vampires and cats.
In addition to providing players with a welcome break from typical dating apps while still providing plenty of engaging conversation, Lovelink acts as an engaging virtual experience that gives players the chance to anonymously explore romantic connections and foster relationships. The game is also the first dating simulation app that exclusively features gender-neutral language and engagements, ensuring an inclusive experience that champions consent.
With more than 60 characters to interact with, Lovelink challenges users to get to know them by engaging with them through chats and reactions. From there, they can meet up for a date and continue to the simulation.
