Digital art and dating sims may seem like an incredibly strange combination but Doodle Date wants to give players the unique experience of romancing their own drawings. This indie game was created by solo developer Nicholas Lives and is currently available on PC via Steam. Centered completely on creativity, Doodle Date lets players draw whatever they want, as well as the activities they want to go on. There is some structure to the game, as players will need to flirt, seduce and eventually marry their creation, but who they choose to do this with is completely up to their imagination and artistic ability.
The core of Doodle Date is obviously the novelty of creating and dating a personal creation, but the game also manages to offer an entertaining story that intertwines the player's life with their creation. The game offers two different routes to completing the relationship and even contains a secret ending that can be unlocked through multiple playthroughs.
