PICK ME PICK ME launches May 28: flirt, sabotage, and compete in this AI-powered dating sim

Pick Me Pick Me, the newest title from Optillusion Games—the creators of Moncage and While Waiting—is giving the dating sim genre a chaotic new twist. Launching in Early Access on May 28, this free-to-play, AI-powered game is coming to Steam, iOS, and Android with a wild blend of real-time flirting and strategic sabotage.

In the dating sim, you and a friend are thrown into a speed date with a charming AI character. Using voice or text, you’ll try to win their heart, while using skill cards to throw your rival off their game. At the end of the date, only one player (or maybe neither) will get picked. It’s love, but weaponized.

Players can choose from multiple game modes:

• PvP Mode – Compete in two-player matchmaking to win over AI characters.

• PvE Mode – Practice your charm solo.

• Workshop Mode – Create your own dateable characters and challenge friends to woo them.

Key features include:

• Real-Time AI Interactions with over 20 unique personalities.

• Skill Card System that lets you boost yourself or sabotage your rival.

• Crossplay between PC and mobile.

• Multilingual Support, including English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and more.

• Global Leaderboards to rank your romantic prowess.

• Optional In-Game Purchases on all platforms.

Optillusion is known for its innovative puzzle games and bold experiments in narrative gameplay. With Pick Me Pick Me, the studio ventures into AI-native experiences that blend chaos, comedy, and competition—all wrapped in a speed dating format.

Whether you’re playing for laughs or trying to top the charm charts, Pick Me Pick Me promises a dating sim like no other. The game officially enters Early Access on May 28.
