Why love matters in adventure games

Posted by Emily Sowden on August 21st, 2018

Alright, get your 'weeee-woooo' girly jokes out of the way early, folks, 'cos I'm about to crack open the lid on love in adventure games so hard the jar will shatter. Too much? Sorry, it's been a while.

Truthfully, I'd never really thought much on it when I was a nipper. Adventure games were, and are, my jam, but it's only been the past decade or so years that I've started paying attention to the plotlines more enthusiastically. It's not all about jumping from one deadly platform to the next – it's about WHY we're taking the leap.

After all, love comes in many shapes and sizes and affects people in a bunch of different ways. Plus, whether you want to admit it or not, love makes things a lot more interesting (yes, even the clichés).

Hey There, Kittens:
How did we rank on Kitty Powers' scale of success? Check out our Kitty Powers' Matchmaker review to find out!

Finding your own true love is never easy, let alone finding it for other people. Kitty Powers' Matchmaker makes matchmaking fun, though. You get to send couples out on dates, coach them through small talk, and mark them with Cupid's arrow - sometimes literally. If everything goes well, you'll get a wedding invite. If things go badly - well, there are other fishies in the sea, right?

Here are a few tips that will help you help others get lucky in love.



Starting Out


  • When you unlock the salon, tap on the question mark to get Kitty's opinion on outfits, etc - Once you learn a bit about the art of matchmaking, you unlock the salon. Here you can change your clients' clothes, hairstyle, and other features to make them more desirable. Tap the question mark block to get Kitty to tell you what personality types are attracted to a particular set of clothing or a certain hairstyle.
  • Use profile tabs to shuffle between general info, likes, and personality - When a lovelorn client shows up on your doorstep, make sure to read their profile thoroughly. That means combing through all the tabs on file: their general information, what they like, and their personality traits.
  • As you level-up, you learn more about clients' personalities - Occasionally, leveling-up rewards you with the ability to perceive clients' personality traits. In other words, the more you play, the easier it becomes to match up lovebirds.
