Hello, Core Romance Specialists!
As we wait for our build review here on Steam, my team and I have been hard at work over on our Discord server prepping our up-and-coming DLC. With the great reception the base game has received over on Itch, we're happy to bring you another venture into Aperture's world of romance, with an all-new cast, all-new location, and all-new mechanics.
How long has this been in the works?
The DLC started production before the original base game was ever released. It was my full intention to continue this story from the start, as I think there's still plenty of opportunities to explore this little section of Aperture.
When can we expect release?
We're aiming for late 2026, although with the slew of new mechanics and characters, APDS:DD is nearly the same length in playtime as the base game, and as such, we will take our time with it. We'll have more details the further into development we get.
Why should I care?
There's women!
Check out our announcement trailer here:
Step back into the world of Aperture Dating Simulator with our up-and-coming DLC, Double Down!
Ten years before the events of the original game, Aperture continues to struggle financially under the leadership of the - still alive - CEO, Cave Johnson. To combat this, the financial sector comes up with a wild idea... the Aperture Casino & Bar! As a seasoned veteran of the company, you've been called in to take over management of the new department and its robotic staff. Can you maintain your professional attitude, or let it slip away in the wake of your coworker's charm?
Aperture Dating Simulator: Double Down is fully voiced once more, with 7 all-new characters to meet and a new location to explore. With several new cutscenes, endings, and classic dating sim mechanics, Double Down will flip the script of the original game and present you with more difficult relationships to navigate.
What do you have to lose? You've played the base game. You're in too deep.
Thank you for supporting Aperture Dating Simulator. We'll see you on the casino floor!
