Game play is a re-hash of the developers previous match three games (which I knew when I purchased it). However, the game makes no sense. Where in the other games, you get rewarded by lewd renders after each level, here you just get a render that doesn't make sense. That could be ok, if the game would deal with melancholy and depression in a serious manner,…
Melancholy Date
Maxine's world is a swirling storm of emotions, where each puzzle piece you match reveals a fragment of her struggle with depression and the quest for love.
In Melancholy Date, blend your puzzle-solving prowess with a heartfelt narrative that challenges you to confront inner demons while unlocking intimate moments from Maxine's life.
With stunning visuals and a haunting soundtrack, this game offers a unique experience that intertwines mental health themes with romance and light nudity.

Horniness scale
Each game gets a score from 1 to 5 hearts. Higher means more explicit adult content.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 1 | Raunchy / softcore — suggestive themes, light fanservice, or mature humor; little or no on-screen explicit sexual content. |
| 2 | Spicy but restrained — clear adult intent (nudity, strong innuendo, or brief suggestive scenes) without sustained explicit focus. |
| 3 | Clearly adult — recurring sexual content or nudity as a meaningful part of the experience, but not the sole focus of the game. |
| 4 | Strongly explicit — graphic sexual themes, extended explicit stills or text, or gameplay built heavily around adult situations. |
| 5 | Explicit and often animated — graphic sexual content that is frequently animated or interactive; core to what you see and do in the game. |
