Selfish Cupid

About

Selfish Cupid is a visual novel simulator where you play as Ten, a reluctant Cupid vessel who refuses to care about anyone’s love life but their own. With the power to manipulate relationships, you’ll sabotage soulmate pairings to chase your romantic goals while navigating a cast of love-struck characters. The story centers on your crush being soulmates with your rival, forcing you to choose between personal desire and cosmic duty. Each decision shifts relationships, with dating sim mechanics letting you alter outcomes through dialogue and action. The game stands out for its cheeky twist on romantic tropes. While most Cupid stories focus on matchmaking, this one leans into selfish ambition, letting you play as a morally flexible anti-love god. With branching paths and multiple endings, choices matter in a way that feels both humorous and satisfying. Available on PC and mobile since September 2023, it’s a brisk but engaging blend of romance and consequence-driven gameplay. Players on forums highlight its fresh take and snappy writing, though the short runtime leaves some threads underexplored.
