Sucker for Love: Horror Comedy, Cheap, Short-FormDearlia · Updated 2026-08-27

What this page helps you decide: whether horror comedy is a tone you want, given two titles here use horror very differently.

Sucker for Love: First Date puts the romance inside Lovecraftian horror, and the developer's description is upfront about the joke: perform rituals to win the affections of eldritch horrors, at any cost. It is one of two horror-adjacent titles tracked on this site, and the two use horror in opposite ways — the other plays it straight and disturbing, this one plays it for comedy. Anyone filtering this list by tone should know that before deciding, because a single horror tag covers both. Steam records 3,007 reviews at 98.2% positive. It costs $9.99, which places it near the bottom of this list on price, and it lists 2 interface languages including Chinese. It is Windows-only. As a visual novel it is short-form relative to the school-set entries here, though the store page does not publish a length figure and this page does not estimate one.

Two horror titles, opposite intentions

A tag tells you a subject, not a tone. The other horror-framed title tracked here is widely discussed for being genuinely unsettling and carries content warnings on its store page. This one is a comedy that uses eldritch horror as a punchline. Filtering by tag alone would put them side by side as equivalents, which is exactly the kind of mistake this site tries to head off on the page rather than in a table.

What the store page publishes, and what it does not

Published: developer, Steam release date, price, language list, platform list and review totals. Not published: ending count or playtime. This page calls it short-form on structural grounds and does not attach an hour figure to that.

Step-by-Step

  1. Know which kind of horror you are getting. Two titles here carry horror framing and they are tonally opposite.
  2. Windows-only.
  3. Chinese interface support is listed, unusual at this price point on this list.
  4. Priced near the bottom of this list, which makes it a low-cost way to test whether the tone works for you.

Tips & Notes

  • One of two horror-framed titles here; the other is played straight rather than for comedy.
  • Among the cheapest paid entries on this list while still offering Chinese interface support.
