Date Time❤️: Melissa❤️, Morris❤️, Anna❤️ is a compilation of the simulation games Melissa ❤️ and Morris ❤️ with the addition of a third love interest to complete the series. While the premise seems to start as a simple and non-assuming romance story, players will soon discover that there is a much more sinister secret behind these dates. 

Much like the two original renditions, Date Time❤️: Melissa❤️, Morris❤️, Anna❤️ places players in an 8-bit setting that assumes that they are playing an unusual dating sim on their local library’s new computer. 

Date to survive

The storyline of Date Time❤️: Melissa❤️, Morris❤️, Anna❤️ progresses as you learn more about your dates, diving deep into their lives and personalities, and ultimately, how to win their hearts. For every chapter of this riveting trilogy, new secrets and endings are available to explore, with the third chapter culminating in the final and ultimate date. Be wary though, as one wrong move can lead to your demise.

Each character has a distinct personality and backstory, which adds depth to the game's narrative. The game features three unique characters: Melissa, the artsy scientist; Morris, a mechanic with a secret poetic side; and the newly-added Anna, an avid athlete. This simulation game impresses with its fully animated 8-bit characters, environments, and cutscenes, all of which add a touch of nostalgic charm. 

The exploration aspect introduces players to an idyllic town, with an unusual cast of characters, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the gameplay. However, the game isn’t without its drawbacks. During installation, some players can encounter errors preventing the game file from being read. Fortunately, deleting the game and manually downloading the demo from a web browser seems to fix the issue. 

Wrapping up the series

To put it simply, Date Time❤️: Melissa❤️, Morris❤️, Anna❤️ is a dating sim within another dating sim. It offers a unique blend of fun and suspense in a retro-computing environment. It's a nostalgia-laden trip down memory lane, coupled with the excitement of digital dating. Despite some minor technical issues during installation, the game offers an engaging and dynamic experience that takes a classic romance title up a notch towards a horror experience.
