Hi :) After two big updates, it’s nice to get back to something a little more straightforward, so we're happy to finally release the next date! Continuing on from the ending of Arcade, follow 20’s next encounter with a very special lady. We won’t spoil too much about who that lady is, there’s no fun in that, but it’s a dream come true, that’s for sure. Now that dates are resuming, we thought it was about time to take a look at the way we present the dates and give them a bit of a facelift as well, so the old dating menu has been repurposed to focus more on the gifting side of things, with addi

Arcade Part 2 has been
