IRVINE, CALIFORNIA – MAY 8, 2025 — Optillusion Games, the creators behind the hit games While Waiting and Moncage, today announced its AI-assisted PvP speed dating game Pick Me Pick Me will launch in Early Access on May 28. Coming to Steam, iOS, and Android, this free-to-play title transforms dating into a competitive battleground, blending real-time flirting with strategic sabotage — and just a bit of chaos.

In Pick Me Pick Me, you and a friend are thrown into a speed date with a charming, unpredictable character — and the race is on to win their heart. Use voice or text messages to flirt your way to victory, while deploying devious skill cards to throw your rival off their game. At the end of the date, only one (or maybe neither) player will get picked. It’s the battlefield of love, and your charisma is your weapon.

This game offers multiple ways to jump in — whether you’re playing casually with friends, challenging yourself solo, or crafting your own dream date (or nightmare). It offers several game modes, including:

  1. PvP Mode: Go head-to-head with a friend in two-player matchmaking
  2. PvE Mode: Practice your charm solo in single-player mode
  3. Workshop Mode: Create custom dateable characters and challenge your friends to win them over

A list of key features include:

  • Real-Time AI Interactions: Converse with over 20 unique characters, each with their own quirks, passions, and deal-breakers
  • Skill Card System: Use cards to boost yourself or sabotage your opponent in hilarious ways
  • Crossplay: Play seamlessly across PC and mobile
  • Multilingual Support: Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Portuguese
  • Global Leaderboards: See how your charm stacks up against players around the world
  • In-Game Purchases: Optional purchases available on all platforms
