I Can Smell You From Here is a dating simulator and psychological horror. You don't want to win her heart; you want to avoid being eaten!
You swiped right. It matched. Expect a normal, although awkward, first date at the meeting site. Idmia, the charming woman across from you, starts asking increasingly weird questions, and you realise she can smell you. Unfortunately, she deems humans delicacy.
Its apparent normality makes I Can Smell You From Here terrifying. It starts like a date: you sit down, chat, and get to know each other. Weapons, jump scares, and closet hiding are absent. Conversation causes all the excruciating strain. Idmia's casual questions are deadly traps, forcing you to analyse your next word to avoid giving her a cause to consume you.
This date can only be survived by lying. You must convince Idmia that you are a vicious, human-eating creature like her.
Lying is risky. The hardest part is consistency. Her cross-examination of your story can tie you up over a little improvised detail early in the date. Any indication of hesitancy or contradiction blows your cover.
To survive this dangerous confrontation, remember these golden rules:
Its replay value makes I Can Smell You From Here great. The game has 5 endings. A single dialogue choice can ruin the date. You could be torn apart, discover darker secrets, or suddenly start the humorous and weird vegan road.
Each playthrough is a new challenge. Are you ready to withstand your bloodiest date with your finest poker face?
The controls are minimised in this psychological puzzle-driven graphic novel so you may focus on the dialogue:
Important: No combat system. Your head and mouse are your only weapons. Think before clicking—one wrong move may land you in Idmia's stomach!
