“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.”
― H.P. Lovecraft
H.P. Lovecraft once said that fear of the unknown is the strongest fear of mankind, but what if you want to grab that unknown by the shoulders and plant a wet, sloppy smooch all over it's face? Well, this game basically tells you what happens. The game is literally what you would expect from it. You do dark rituals to summon eldritch horrors, you date them and try to win their smooches all for yourself.
The writing in Sucker for Love is charming and funny throughout, but you still feel the pangs of fear once things start to go sideways. I think this is due to the time pressure from few of the scenes plus the more intense time pressure of the secret route, which is something you don't see in VNs that often. The gameplay involves talking to and performing rituals for your lovely lady horrors. The theme for these rituals change for each girl, as such it keeps the main mechanics of the game fresh even though you're still doing pretty much the same things.
If you look past the thirsty meme reviews talking about how they want to bang that Cthussy and leave your expectations of cringe behind you, this game will un-ironically be amazing. The game parodies on dating sim games, human nature and Lovecraftian elements while also somehow doing all of them justice very well. The humour is also very funny and had me laughing out loud multiple times.
And with the words of the protagonist: "3D women are fine, but fourth dimensional girls with non-euclidean geometry are smokin' hot! They've got curves I can literally get lost in." I leave you with this question: Are you ready to smooch those Lovecraftian Horrors? The answer is yes. obviously.
