ValiDate Struggling Singles in your Area PC Game 2022 review:
Three of the four lines are open. The structure of ValiDate differs significantly from that of the typical visual novel.
ValiDate is a visual novel about thirteen struggling singles navigating through soul-sucking 9-to-5s, quarter-life crises, and the harsh truths millennials learn as soon as they hit their 20’s. Set in the Jercy City area, our cast of lovers trudge through the dregs of capitalism – a journey, a transition – a rite-of-passage that leads into uncertain mid-adulthood. In one side but not yet out on the other, 13 playable characters find romance amongst cosplay, trash mixtapes, and even poetry straight from the soul.
With over 30 routes to choose from and hours of content, the lives of these singles are in your good (or bad!) decision-making hands. ValiDate is very different in structure from your average visual novel. Essentially, you choose one of four characters to play as (Inaya, Malik, Emhari, and Isabelle in volume 1), going on a series of encounters with five characters included in the main cast of 13, including one mirror route with another volume 1 character. These encounters range from friendly or romantic to adversarial, and the game is about self-improvement and interconnections, not storybook romance.
Pros of ValiDate Struggling Singles in your Area:
