Shadow of Mordor has nothing on the orcs in this dating sim

While you slaughtered Uruk and their friends in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, one developer was setting them up on dates.

Tusks: The Orc Dating Sim sounds goofy. It really is an upcoming romance sim starring orcs, those brutish “monsters” from fantasy stories like The Lord of the Rings. Developer Mitch Alexander thought up the idea during NaNoRenO 2015, a game-making jam where developers have only 31 days to create and complete a visual novel. On a basic level, Tusks is a dating sim like any other — only in this case one about “smooching hot monster boys,” Alexander told GamesBeat by email.
