Game Overview
WELCOME TO AMERICA’S HORNIEST HORROR MOVIE UNIVERSITY! SLASHER U is a 90’s inspired, 18+ reactive dating sim with (optionally toggleable) full-blown sex mechanics and minigames, an open-world explorable 2D map, a huge story-rich branching narrative based on dynamic Character Feelings systems, gothy y2k-inspired hand-drawn art, and TONS of balls-to-the-wall horror movie theming based on the vibrant history of horror from the 90’s, 2000’s, and beyond! Everyone’s* favorite indie horror movie dating sim that punches you in the face with dick jokes AND pathos is now on Steam! Act 1 includes 15+ hours of content across 5 romance arcs!
Major Features:
- 15+ HOURS (3+ hours per romance arc!) of RPG style gameplay with items, unlocks, quest chains, story choices & story puzzles, etc, all revolving around the main romances
- Dynamic Feelings Systems for each character that keeps track of everyone’s feelings for you, based on their “memories”, that trigger the story in a modular way for a different playthrough every time!
- Makeout minigames unique to each character!
- Full blown sex minigames unique to each character!
- Five dateable characters (so far), tons of flirtable cuties. (The Slasher U fanbase has an ongoing vote for who the Next Romanceable Character is, and currently Headless Horsemike is in the lead! Go Mike!)
- Full optional story-integrated polyamory (or, if you’re an asshole, uncommunicative cheating!)
- Fully art’ed hand-drawn characters with a bevy of reacts!
- Collectible cosmetics, including wearable outfits, phone skins, and more!
- 90’s inspired open-world adventure game map in All-American Murder College Theming!
- Kink-positive romances (and vanilla ones, too)!
- Toggle between R-Rated and Hard Explicit 18+ at any time for all my aces out there (and twitch streamers) with no gameplay or romance penalty; plenty of stage-based consent checks for The Weird Shit. Also, enjoy the Weird Shit!
- Every relationship is written with a full spectrum of orientations in mind, including pretty much every configuration of LGBTQIA+ as well as hetero relationships (so everyone’s technically playersexual, but each romance/experience differs based on wlw/mlm/ostensibly bi/ostensibly het/etc player+romance partner mechanics; characters also have specific preferences).
- Tons of fun gender stuff like character creation having separate gender and sex options!
- Evolving relationships with plenty of models, systems, and interlocking storylines and quests, from pursuing your crush to relationship life (or undeath, your call)
- Bonus Slasher U minigames that’re horror/slasher/college themed, like Hallway Sprinting 101, Bartending, and Student Hunting 101
- An homage to scary movies and a serious attempt by the OP to make a well-balanced, reactive, romantic, emotionally pathos-laden, and contextually satisfying sexy dating sim (with tons of y2k style dick jokes)
