Description

Your work as a demon is to manage human souls coming to Hell. And then conquor the hearts of your fellow demons!

Go farm some souls and then "torment" them through different ways to make your attributes will change between: calm-impulsive, shy-confident, reserved-exhibitionist and wild-civilized.

You can then hangout at the bar where there are four demon characters, each one with their own distinguishable personality and preferences, you can talk to them and have the chance to win them over, which will then give you an upgrade on a certain aspect of the game depending of which character you're talking to. The chances of a demon liking you depends on your attributes, your dialogue with them and gifts you can give them; which can be purchased with arcade tickets you win by playing fun minigames!

Great art. Not sure if the attribute system is working. I was able to buy a gift after much clicking of the souls and playing of the game, but was unable to interact with the bar people! I really wanted to see what these demons had in store for me.

@evil-as-shit Hey! You must have downloaded the "Ludum Dare 47 Submission" file. We launched an update in itch.io, which is named "Hellish Soulmate 0.1.zip", hope you like it!

The art is great, definitely caught my eye. I'm just a bit confused about the mechanics. I wish there were some sort of introduction or tutorial for people who aren't as familiar with games of this kind. Great Job!

I am a bit confused, I played the game and got souls right so I could alter my attributes, went to the bar, then played a minigame but was not able to talk to any of the demons.
Great job for the art and audio design though!

The art is quite an eye-catching! Though as the rest of the comments say as well, I couldn't figure out how I could talk to the demons :thinking: Generally the feeling is nice, I like the art and the music, I am only slightly confused by the UI and what there is to click and do.

Really pretty and fun idea for a dating sim. It's a shame that the stat upgrading doesn't seem to work, atm it takes a long time to get enough tickets to buy a single gift so I stopped before that point sadly and I assume the stats were intended to affect that.
The music was also really good, the lack of any in the bar was a bit odd tho. The game had a strong tone otherwise.

Art and music are amazing, the theme fits pretty well but as other have already pointed, the gamplay feels confusing :/

Really great work on the art! I enjoy how every character has their own personality! I didn't have any luck with picking up a date, but I had fun talking to everyone and getting to know what they were like.

Wow the artstyle is REALL RAELLY good! Great job! :) But the rest... I was really confused on what to do. I clicked on 1000 ghosts and then lost all my progress because I clicked on the credits.
