A forgotten box of old notebooks is probably the last thing anyone expects to find under their bed. For Clock, however, that discovery turns an ordinary evening of avoiding a physics assignment into something much stranger. The notebooks are filled with drawings and stories about internet horror characters from the early 2010s. After falling asleep, Clock wakes up in a gloomy forest, surrounded by the very creatures that once existed only in those pages.
CreepyDates takes this unusual setup and turns it into a fan-made horror dating adventure. Players can customize Clock's appearance before exploring the strange world, adjusting details such as hairstyle, facial features, scars, glasses, and piercings. The journey eventually leads to the CreepyHouse, where familiar creepypasta figures become part of the story.
The available romance routes include Jeff the Killer, Eyeless Jack, Ben Drowned, Ticci Toby, Masky and Hoodie, and Slenderman. Each character has a different personality, so choosing the right dialogue matters. A response that works with one character might create an awkward situation with another.
Relationships develop through hidden affinity values and heart meters. Small decisions gradually influence how characters respond, which events become available, and which ending Clock eventually reaches.
CreepyDates is not just a collection of conversations. Players can click around locations, investigate objects, discover documents, and collect journal or Slender pages. These items can become important during dangerous encounters, where a careless decision may lead to an early death.
A useful tip is to pay attention to character reactions instead of choosing answers randomly. Explore available areas thoroughly, keep track of collected items, and think about the personality of the character whose route is being pursued.
With four available chapters and additional visitor events featuring Splendorman, Trenderman, and Offenderman, CreepyDates mixes nostalgia, creepy encounters, and branching romance. It offers a strange question at its heart: what happens when the monsters from old internet stories become people Clock actually wants to know?
