INTEREST CHECK
INTEREST CHECK
Hi there! This is Shay, and this is my silly little shipping game idea. Welcome to the HOLIDATE interest check! Thank you for giving the game a look! HOLIDATE is a shipping game themed around winter holidays and Christmas romance tropes specifically. It borrows heavily from Are You the One?, both the reality television show and
starswept's short-term game from earlier this year. The premise is borrowed and tweaked with her permission!
HOLIDATE is a short-term, private game that will run on a weekly event schedule from Halloween to mid-December, with an "off" week with no major events to accommodate Thanksgiving. Each week, characters will compete in romantic challenges and dating scenarios while trying to find which other participant the game runners have selected as their Perfect Match. If all matches are found by the end of the game, every character will win a "Holiday Miracle" and be able to have a wish of their choice granted. While the basic structure is reminiscent of other short-term setups like murder and mafia style games, it is my intention that HOLIDATE remain low-pressure throughout its run. The short duration and end goal for the characters will still create the incentive for rapid CR development; however, participation in every single event isn't mandatory. This is my Christmas gift for my friends and I want to make it a positive, cozy experience.
If you haven't already, please check out the premise, rules, and FAQ for more information about the game. If you have any other questions, I'm happy to answer them as well! I'm very excited to play with everyone, and I hope the premise has piqued your interest!
The interest check is now running! Go wild in here, enable each other, hype one another up, and most of all, remember to make some holiday wishes come true!
If you're interested in playing, you can use this form to post your interest check comment in style!

Character Considerations: RANDOM OBSCURES LET'S GO
Mikado Aisaka aka Yoshi Nanase from 1BitHeart - A bit of an odd fellow who seems to know what everyone wants and gives it to them immediately. He loves all of humanity and sees himself as garbage, so, you know, already a great candidate for finding love.
Tatsuma Hiyuu from Tokyo Majin - anime adaptation of a silent protag, he punches demons at night and ALSO loves humanity but in a somewhat more normal way. He just likes people and wants to help everyone he can. Very sweet, loves strawberries, kind of quiet which makes him a little tougher but I think I can manage!
Saki Watanabe from Shinsekai Yori/From the New World - definitely on the older side compared to most folks' options so far (27), lady with psychokinesis from a society that makes it literally impossible to hurt other humans and also encourages bonobo-like relationships so she's. She's very open to things if nothing else.
Theobald Leonhart from LiEat - this is a longshot because he's the type who would sign up explicitly to scam people on accounts of being a con artist. He does have a sweet side to him if you look... very very very deep inside.
Certainty: WE WILL SEE HOW MUCH UNPACKING I CAN DO FROM MOVE AND ENERGY LEVELS AND SUCH.
Questions, Comments, Concerns?: I've never done a dating game before so I dunno how good I'll be at it but I'm WILLING TO GIVE IT A SHOT
Anything else?: Here's a Tatsuma gif look how cute he is

Honestly (spoilers?) Kizuna is 24 even though she has a canon point of 18... I had gotten the impression in R1 that we were trying to put in the 20s somewhere... I will cuddle with Saki...
But I love and support all of your choices and I hope you pace yourself prudently after your grueling move!

Although between unpacking and quarter end my choice might just end up being on the basis of "who can I play with minimal canon review" wheezes
