Get ready for a unique gaming experience as Thirsty Suitors makes its way to Netflix Games soon. This narrative-driven action-adventure game, already available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, offers a fresh take on the genre by blending elements of a breakup simulator with a dating sim.
Developed by the acclaimed Outerloop Games, Thirsty Suitors has garnered significant recognition, including the 2022 Tribeca Games Award and nominations for the 2024 New York Game Awards' Herman Melville Award for Best Writing in a Game and the 2024 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Video Game. Set in the vibrant backdrop of the 1990s, this game delves into themes of culture, relationships, and self-expression.
In Thirsty Suitors, players will engage in turn-based RPG combat against their exes, navigate family dynamics, and embark on a journey of self-discovery. The game introduces a unique mood system in combat, allowing players to exploit vulnerabilities strategically. Beyond battling, you'll showcase your skills in skating and cooking, attempting to impress your mom with South Asian-inspired meals and exploring the town of Timber Hills on your skateboard. Discover the secrets of Bearfoot Park with impressive tricks like grinding and wall runs.
Chandana “Eka” Ekanayake of Outerloop Games will participate in the annual Games for Change Festival in New York on June 27th and 28th. Joining Eka on the panel are Matt Korba and Matt Daigle from The Odd Gentlemen, Caitlin Shell from Brandible Games, and Leanne Loombe from Netflix. The panel will focus on the importance of representation in video games and how it helps underrepresented players feel seen and valued.
