About How to Date an Entity
How to Date an Entity (and stay alive) is a short horror dating sim visual novel. The main character wakes up in his room to find a tall, mysterious woman there, and the only way to survive is to date her. Each run lasts 15 to 20 minutes, and an Interest Meter decides which of the 10 endings you reach.
Inside How to Date an Entity
Why How to Date an Entity Feels Different From Other Dating Sim Games
In most dating sims, affection is the reward. Here it is a survival stat.
- An on-screen Interest Meter tracks how she feels about you and drives every ending.
- 10 endings at 15–20 minutes each.
- Dating sim structure mixed with analog horror styling.
- Made by a solo developer, first in 7 days and updated many times since.
- Openly discloses AI help with code; the ideas, dialogue and art are the developer's own.
How To Play How to Date an Entity?
Watch the meter, not her smile.
- Press Play Now and wake up in your room.
- Click to advance and choose a response when options appear.
- Check the Interest Meter in the top-right corner after each choice.
- Save before big decisions so you can branch toward different endings.
- Don't hunt all 10 endings in one sitting — the developer recommends against it.
Who Will Enjoy How to Date an Entity?
- Players who like short runs with lots of endings to collect.
- Fans of analog horror and monster dating sims.
- Anyone curious how a single meter can steer a whole story.
- People who enjoyed Fear Me and want the creature on the other side of the date.
- If “date her or die” sounds like a fair deal, open your eyes.
Can You Keep Her Interested — and Stay Alive?
The tension comes from how little you know. She is clearly not human, the room is clearly not safe, and the only feedback you get is a meter that can swing either way.
Play once honestly, then play to experiment. With 10 endings, trying the answer you would never normally give is often the quickest way to find a new one.
Wake up, say hello, and keep that meter climbing.
