Black Lantern Collective and Akabaka are proud to announce that Sucker for Love: Crush Landing is now available on Steam for $12.99 USD.
Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s The Colour Out of Space, the latest entry in Akabaka’s comedic horror dating series begins as you find out that not only has a comet crashed into your apartment, but that comet has a name. Hheily can speak, laugh, and even flirt with you. However, you have limited time to keep her flame alive by sacrificing whatever you can find before she’s snuffed out. Experience the most choice-driven and replayable entry so far, and don’t worry if you’ve missed the previous chapters, as each Sucker for Love title serves as an entry point for the series.
After discovering that a flaming meteorite has crashed into your apartment, an ancient interstellar being soon begins to mimic your language and changes its appearance into a more friendly form. Hheily’s multi-colored flames require you to burn items with matching colors to keep her alive, leaving you to search your apartment for anything at-hand. Choose wisely, though, because she won’t be too happy if you sacrifice your pets or neighbors.
Likewise, every choice influences how characters perceive you. Taking a stack of cash from a client in the prologue can get you through sticky situations later, but it will also make people think you’re a bit of a slimeball. So, they’ll be more reluctant to cooperate in the future. Similar choices and situations present themselves throughout Crush Landing’s story, allowing for a number of different threads, several romantic partners, and multiple endings, including some very funny outcomes.
“Sucker for Love: Crush Landing is a joyful, neon-lit descent that asks how much of your world you’re willing to let decay just to stay in the warmth of Hheily’s glow. Hheily is bright in every sense of the word—cheerful, vibrant, and utterly impossible to ignore— that threatens to engulf your friends, your home, your city, life as you know it. We wanted to capture the beauty and terror of the abyss; a vivid light flashes against the darkness of space, where you’re so dazzled that you don’t notice the pull until you are helplessly trapped in her gravity.” – Akabaka
