Banana Split is a variation on a dating sim, where the player sets out to please their lunch so it will taste nicer when eaten – one might even call it an eating sim. Much like most titles in the dating sim genre, there are multiple love interests, however in this case the target is a little… bananas – therefore the multiple interactions are with different personalities, because the banana suffers from split personality disorder.

The goal of the player is to please as many personalities as possible; each persona has a name and randomly generated set of traits that the player must remember for optimal verbal stability. This game will be somewhat of a mashup of Hot Date by George Batchelor a dating sim involving pugs with unique interactions and the premise behind Pixar's Inside Out involving vast differences in character.

To add a degree of difficulty, the banana can switch personality mid-date, therefore forcing the player to adapt to the significant dialogue change and recall mental notes.

Why a banana? Puns. I am aware of the connotations of 'dating' a banana, but it's strictly for the purpose of consumption.

Features:

  • Eating Sim (variation on the Dating Sim genre)

  • Dating Sim with dynamically changing 'dates' and randomly generated traits per personality
