Palworld developer Pocketpair has seemingly introduced a courting sim spinoff by the title of Greater than Simply Buddies, however there’s motive to consider it won’t be a severe prospect.
The sport was revealed by way of a put up on X earlier immediately, wherein Pocketpair calls the sport “a Palworld college romance VN (visible novel)” and invitations gamers to wishlist it by way of its model new Steam web page.
This is not the primary time Greater than Simply Buddies has appeared, although. The primary announcement for the sport got here on April Fools’ Day final yr, at which level Pocketpair stated it might launch on the identical day the next yr (i.e. tomorrow).
After all, the truth that the sport was already introduced as a part of Pocketpair’s April Fools’ japery final yr would not essentially imply it is not actual this time round, however I feel it is truthful to take the mission with a really giant pinch of salt, at any charge.
Then once more, again then, I wrote that Pocketpair had willed the mission into real existence by advantage of making it as a joke, and that could be what’s occurred. Whether it is, properly, we is perhaps past assist this time round.
Assuming Palworld: Greater than Simply Buddies is actual, you will be attending the Palagos Non-public Academy, the place you will meet a lot of romanceable Buddies. You’ll be able to “keep mates with the Buddies, develop romantic relationships with them, and even dismember and eat them”.
It moderately appears like Greater than Simply Buddies is taking a extra Hatoful Boyfriend-style strategy to courting sims moderately than the traditional path; this feels moderately like a parody effort to me.
Pocketpair additionally says it is freely giving a Lovander physique pillow to rejoice the brand new announcement of Palworld: Greater than Simply Buddies. If you wish to enter the competitors (once more, assuming it is actual), you are able to do so on X.
