PockeDate! is out now on Steam, a short visual novel/dating simulator from Ukrainian developer TERNOX, author of the successful indie game STONKS-9800: Stock Market Simulator and organizer of the Ukrainian Visual Novel Jam.

This is a free game (you can pay for the soundtrack if you want) in which you have to communicate with a very talkative virtual girl Akari, go on dates with her, and try to guess her desires and whims to win her affection.

“PockeDate! isn’t just a fun game – it’s also a training ground for real-life dating! Through engaging interactions and unique scenarios, you’ll learn how to communicate better, handle awkward moments, and make your date feel special. Get ready to boost your dating skills and confidence while having a blast with Akari!” says the author.

PockeDate! is available in Ukrainian and English localizations and is designed in the traditional TERNOX charming pixel graphics.

So far, the game has received extremely positive reviews, which is typical for a good free-to-play game, and a Steam rating of 97/100 based on 47 reviews. You should try it, it’s free.

TERNOX has recently tried its hand at publishing the game Shine On, My Little Sun, which was launched at the Ukrainian Visual Novel Jam.
