Canadian indie developer Bloom Digital Media has revealed that Later Daters, a "saucy old souls dating sim", is headed to Switch this April.
The game has you rocking up as the newest resident at Ye OLDE, a retirement community seemingly full of ravenous elderly lovers. You'll be doing the tango with a cast of flirts and lovemakers, all of whom have ditched the bingo hall for a journey of desire and passion, while also confronting their own mortality. You can check out the game's sense of humour in the trailer above.
The game is actually a visual novel that's set to span across several episodes; April will see the launch the first three episodes, with a second set arriving later this year. In these opening scenes, you'll customise your look, name, romance history and more before dating and flirting with eight other residents. You dirty dawg.
Those first few episodes will become available on 16th April. Make sure to keep an eye out for it on the Switch eShop.

Old people like to get it on, too. I just prefer the "out of sight, out of mind" approach.
Nursing homes have big problems with STD's.
@GamingFan4Lyf Too much information......
For a moment I thought it was April Fools day not valentines day!!
I have to say I’m enjoying this parody Western dating sim trend. It draws attention to just how niche the nichest of visual novels can be.
Edit: Turns out my phone likes to autocorrect the word ‘parody’ to a term I mostly use while watching Celtic matches 😅
The Switch is sorely lacking in pensioner dating sims, hopefully this'll score in the 70's or 80's.
@nessisonett Keep your sectarian bile to yourself mate. It’s bad enough that Scotland’s infested with it.
@GamingFan4Lyf From a healthcare worker in Florida, you have no idea how right you are.
This game should be rated S for Seniors only. You know when you were a kid and your parents wouldn't let you watch adult stuff... well now that you're an adult you can, and the people rejoiced. But with seniors, it's like adult stuff but the next evolution. Seniors do stuff that make adults cover each others eyes because they aren't ready to see yet. Even I have no idea what Seniors do. :/
Hmm. Ok boomer
I wonder who's the target for this game...
Can't wait to talk about prostate problems in a video game.
But seriously, episodic release is a big no from me (for any game).
I just hope it shows full frontal nudity. If it's not M for Mature; hard pass.
Can't wait for more oddly specific dating sims.
If this gets a fraction as big as Dream Daddy, maybe the big companies will start churning these out like they used to with generic FPS games.
I am actually laughing so hard right now
@GamingFan4Lyf True story: About a couple of weeks ago, while I was shopping at Walmart, I got hit on by a woman who was 68 years old. (I'm 49.) It was probably the most awkward moment I've ever had in my life. lol
It could be worse. At least it's not 2 Girls 1 Cup.
