PQube announce Death Match Love Comedy for February 2026

UK game publisher PQube has announced a fun looking new visual novel, Death Match Love Comedy! A quirky inversion of the usual dating format, this time you have to make sure you don't end up with the girl - get hooked up, you die.

The game is getting a physical and digital release next year on February 19th. Looks like an interesting one, we'll give it a closer look as soon as we can.

About the game:

Death Match Love Comedy! combines comedic scenarios with a heavy occult theme that blends religious, historical, and mythical concepts into a unique universe.

In this strange world a curse can have disastrous effects, and our main protagonist Kei has been afflicted with just that - a curse which causes him to explode if confessed to. Now he must uncover who cursed him and why, and with the help of his friends, he navigates a whole unfamiliar realm of the unknown.

As a fresh-faced high schooler there's nothing worse than not being able to receive confessions of love, but no matter what happens Kei will always have his trusty sense of humour at his side, and with it any horrific situation can be overcome.

Death Match Love Comedy! features an unexpected, branching narrative, with multiple routes and endings, as the story challenges players at every turn to help Kei survive his explosive predicament or watch him become the victim of it.
