Palworld developer Pocketpair has seemingly introduced a relationship sim spinoff by the identify of Greater than Simply Friends, however there’s cause to imagine it won’t be a severe prospect.
The sport was revealed through a publish on X earlier in the present day, through which Pocketpair calls the sport “a Palworld college romance VN (visible novel)” and invitations gamers to wishlist it through its model new Steam web page.
This is not the primary time Greater than Simply Friends has appeared, although. The primary announcement for the sport got here on April Fools’ Day final yr, at which level Pocketpair mentioned it might launch on the identical day the next yr (i.e. tomorrow).
In fact, the truth that the sport was already introduced as a part of Pocketpair’s April Fools’ japery final yr does not essentially imply it is not actual this time round, however I believe it is honest to take the venture with a really massive pinch of salt, at any charge.
Then once more, again then, I wrote that Pocketpair had willed the venture into real existence by advantage of making it as a joke, and that could be what’s occurred. Whether it is, nicely, we may be past assist this time round.
Assuming Palworld: Greater than Simply Friends is actual, you may be attending the Palagos Non-public Academy, the place you may meet numerous romanceable Friends. You’ll be able to “keep mates with the Friends, develop romantic relationships with them, and even dismember and eat them”.
It quite appears to be like like Greater than Simply Friends is taking a extra Hatoful Boyfriend-style strategy to relationship sims quite than the standard path; this feels quite like a parody effort to me.
Pocketpair additionally says it is gifting away a Lovander physique pillow to rejoice the brand new announcement of Palworld: Greater than Simply Friends. If you wish to enter the competitors (once more, assuming it is actual), you are able to do so on X.
