Upon reading the description attached to this one we experienced several "you're kidding" moments.

This one being a newly announced apocalyptic dating-action game Eternights.

Seriously.

In Eternights, players will make the most of life during the apocalypse, saving the world and finding love along the way. The reveal trailer gives a glimpse at the game's unique blend of love story and adrenaline-driven combat, brought to life with beautifully crafted 2D animated cut-scenes.

2D animated cut-scenes aren't uncommon in games but it's curious to see them paired with what appears to be sophisticated 3D action combat.

A mysterious entity has infected humans, turning them into dangerous monsters obsessed with violence and power. As they stand between you, a cure, and the world you want, you must race against the clock to fight for your survival and for those you love. But with scavenging, dungeon crawling, and dating all on the to-do list, what will you do first? The choice is yours, but everything has a deadline, and the clock is ticking. 

In Eternights, players will encounter perilous dungeons steeped with mystery and danger, overcoming traps, puzzles and dancing mini-games to beat their deadlines and make it through on time. When not exploring dungeons, choose a confidant from a cast of five quirky and loveable characters. As you grow closer, explore their unique stories, and unlock new skills and spells to aid you in battle.

Whatever else can be said about the game, they don't lack ambition in breadth of gameplay.

Eternights is due to release in early 2023 on PC (Epic and Steam) and PlayStation.
