From Homestuck creator Andrew Hussie and universally-acclaimed video game developer NAMCO BANDAI Games comes an all new gaming experience: NAMCO HIGH! As a cousin to the Prince from Katamari Damacy, you will meet total strangers with whom you have nothing in common, but before the school year is over you'll break rules, bare your soul, and touch each other in ways you never dreamed.

Whelp, my surrealism has reached maximum safe potential for the day.  :eek:

I don't even... wat?

Wait... I know all of those characters, at least peripherally. I've been reading the Galaga and Wonder Momo comics so this sort of...

I don't know. But it's got some really, really strong writers and illustrators. SO I think I'll be cautiously interested.

Man this is weird though.

hoo, as much I like Andrew Hussie, him writing a dating game will be way to weird for me though.
But I'm intrigued to see how this goes.

How are they going to come up with personalities for all of these characters that had practically none before?

I'd imagine they'll do what all authors do: Make it up.

Although reading the character descriptions, it seems like they're basing some of it off of appearance.  Galaga Ship was always the most desirable one in the arcade, after all.

Homestuck is nice...but PROBLEM SLEUTH is one of the greatest webcomics of all time. ALL TIME

I'll just ask it if it wants to grab some Java with me.  That should work.

You're assuming you're dating Galaga rather than it being a rival or a problem to overcome.
