We are pleased to inform you that Later Daters is now available as a premium game. This includes Part 1, Part 2, and the Cribbage Mini Game. We are so grateful to those who have supported Later Daters these part few years as we experimented with launching a video game during a global pandemic. By splitting up the game into two parts, we were able to learn from our audience and make the best experience possible with our second release while ensuring we had to funding to do so. Now it’s time to unite the two parts and give you all the geriatric loving in one fell swoop.
If you already purchased part 1 - Surprise! Now you have part 2 as well. If you already bought both, thank you for the support!
We will be adjusting the game price to $14.99 to match the cost of the bundle, but putting the game on sale for 50% as part of the Pride Seniors Discount. So now is a great time to get the whole game for a super good price!

We are happy to announce that our free update with our Cribbage Mini-Game is now available on Steam, Itch, and the Nintendo Switch.
Cribbage is a great two-person card game, and an old favourite of the geriatric community. We’ve designed the game with both experienced players and first timers in mind. Thanks to our beta testers who assisted us in making the game experience as seamless as possible.
Of course, like all card games, the best way to learn is to play it yourself! The Ye OLDE gang will guide you through it on your first time, and we suggest you try it out on easy while you get the hang of things. Maybe you will bite the big one your first time out of the gate, or maybe you will discover some preternatural cribbage ability. As many seasoned card players will tell you, it’s all part of the experience.
We have hidden some story nuggets for each character within the game, so each opponent has something different to offer when you play against them.
Please join our discord at https://discord.gg/9TECBtW for cribbage tips, and if you discover any bugs.
We know you’re all chomping at the bit for Part 2. We don’t have an exact date set for release yet, but we are wrapping up production on it in the next couple of weeks. After that, it’s off for approval by the Nintendo team! Thank you for your patience, and we guarantee Part 2 will be well worth the wait.

If you missed the giant Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality on Itch last month, you’ve got yet another shot at good games for a good cause. The Visual Novel Romance Collection for Black Trans Lives is precisely what it says on the tin: fourteen romantic games (several of which the RPS crew have quite liked) in support of The Okra Project.

Getting older doesn’t mean you need to hang up your dating game. We’ve all seen Golden Girls, right? (Disclosure: I have not seen Golden Girls. Is it sexy?) New dating sim Later Daters walks you through the uncertain waters of post-80 dating with a bit of warmth and a bit of humor, just as the doctor ordered.
Later Daters, the upcoming saucy old souls dating sim, is going to be officially released on Steam, Itch.io, and Switch, the 16th of April, 2020. Thank you, everyone who has wishlisted the game so far; your support in the early days has meant the world to us. Later Daters shows t
Later Daters, the upcoming saucy old souls dating sim, is going to be officially released on Steam, Itch.io, and Switch, the 16th of April, 2020.
Thank you, everyone who has wishlisted the game so far; your support in the early days has meant the world to us.
Later Daters shows that life really does begin at 60, as you arrive as the newest resident to Ye OLDE retirement community. Here, you’ll join a cast of flirts and lovemakers on the prowl, all of whom don’t subscribe to stereotypes about the elderly. They are not (necessarily) grandparents, and certainly don't exist in some de-sexualized world of hemorrhoid cream, sensible shoes, and daytime bingo. The heartfelt dating sim follows the characters as they explore their desires and passions in the sunset of life, while also confronting their own mortality.
