Summon A Sweetheart

Summon A Sweetheart is a short horror visual novel that combines dark comedy, romance, and supernatural horror. The story follows Penelope, a lonely young woman who summons an eldritch monster named Galatea to be her girlfriend. Unfortunately, the summoning ritual requires an offering, and Penelope must quickly search her messy apartment for a suitable gift before things take a disastrous turn. The game is designed to be short, highly replayable, and features ten different endings based on the choices you make.

What Is Summon A Sweetheart?

Summon A Sweetheart is a choice-driven narrative game. Instead of combat or puzzles, players explore Penelope's room, inspect objects, collect items, and decide what gift to offer Galatea. The game's appeal comes from its unusual premise, memorable characters, and multiple endings that range from humorous to disturbing. Most playthroughs take only a few minutes, while discovering every ending can take around twenty minutes.

The goal is simple: find a gift for Galatea and survive the consequences of your choice.

1. Follow the dialogue and story scenes.
2. Explore Penelope's room by interacting with objects.
3. Collect items that could serve as gifts.

Gameplay

Gameplay focuses on exploration and decision-making rather than action. Players search through trash piles, furniture, and other objects scattered around Penelope's apartment. Some items can be used directly, while others can be combined through a simple crafting system to create unique gifts. Every gift leads to a different ending, encouraging experimentation and multiple playthroughs.
