Bozar Arcade: Love and Emotions in Video Games

Thirsty Suitors

by Outerloop Games

Behind its energy, the game takes a subtle look at the bonds of family and love, showing how cooking can bring people together and enable them to share their emotions. Discover the designs for 'Thirsty Suitors'.

“Thirsty Suitors is a game about culture, relationships, family pressures, and expressing oneself. We know what we’re going to build but we leave enough room for some magic to happen and for the game to figure itself out. The player will get into more dramatic moments, but there's comedy and levity. We feel like we can go between those things in a relationship game like this, and show it in very fantastical ways.”
