My Plus One
A downloadable game
Will You Be My Plus One?
Your brother, Butch, announces he’s getting married! It’s an exciting time, and you should be happy, but your entire family is asking if you’ll bring a special someone as your plus one. They don’t know that the only romance you’ve had are marathons of romantic comedies religiously binge. Stupidly, you tell them that you’ll bring your significant other. You’d be happy to! Fast forward 10 months, you’re no closer to getting a new boo and you have a month to RSVP. You need to find someone now!
That week, you find not one but three potential hotties to impress the family! There’s the smart cheerleader, Brick; the knitting bad boy, River; and the not-so-talented amateur magician, Ronnie. After deciding on one of them to be the unlucky soul to romance, you try to talk to them after class.
For the next few days, you flirt, do some light stalking, and eventually ask them out! It's a bumpy road for a rom com nerd, but you got this, right?
Meet Your Crushes!
Brick - She may be blonde and a talented cheerleader, but don't you dare lump her in with the dumb girl stereotype! She's a sophomore Mechanical Engineering major who smashes Calculus and loves frappuccinos. Just because she's a nerd doesn't mean she can't be a bad ass basic bitch.
River - The hottest guy on campus. He's always on the move. Every night is a new experience, another party, and reckless adventure. He might be the picture perfect bad boy, but he's a total grandma's boy. As a kid, his parents often dropped him off with his grandma where he found a love of knitting!
Ronnie - An amateur magician with more passion than skill. They're a junior theater major that's always ready for a show, often turning conversations into magic tricks. Most people think they're weird, but to Ronnie, any attention is good attention. While a bit obnoxious at times, Ronnie knows how to entertain and just wants people to smile
