…have sex with an omnipotent cat girl or something in the dating sim and horror game Sucker for Love: First Date. But while Sucker for Love unabashedly explores the scary side of wanting, the dating show Love Island presents itself as a force for global good. It started in the United Kingdom in 2015 and has expanded to countries like Australia, the U.S., Norway, and Poland in the years since, carrying the weight of the world on the guilelessness of its horny contestants and how small their bathing suits are.

But under the platinum highlights, Love Island is equally grotesque. It pumps its contestants full of alcohol and gets them to perform gratuitous “challenges” like pole dancing and kissing with tongue. These challenges are mostly designed for all the straight women to get mad at all the straight men and then everyone cries.

If you’ve always wanted to cry on an island that slowly obliterates your sense of self and sexy singledom, Sucker for Love will trap you in your bedroom with attractive horrors, including a Cthulhu with a Brazilian butt lift named Ln’eta. The game is funny, well-animated, and examines the infernal lengths humans will go to for something as inconsequential as a smooch, like going on Love Island.
