About this game
Aperture Dating Simulator isn't your average fan-made Portal game...
Set in an alternate universe from the series that inspired it, APDS will introduce you to a new Aperture - one that seems a lot more... normal than the original. At first.
Take control of a manufacturing employee thrust out of their element and into maintenance, where you'll meet 8 brand-new personality cores, each with their own special little quirks. From level-headed supervisor Miss Esther to hot-tempered sports fanatic Rob, there's plenty of new "faces" to get to know.
Aperture Dating Simulator is fully voiced by a group of independent voice actors and programmed by a single developer. With 19 endings to discover and more than 40 cutscenes to unlock, there's a lot this tropey little dating sim parody has to offer. Or so we hope.
What do you have to lose? Your dignity? If you're reading this, it's already gone.
