What players are saying
Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 217 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (6,145 of 6,815 positive).
Players find the game surprisingly well-written and funny, with sharp humor and killer-specific personality. [1][2][3] Many reviewers enjoy the romantic and humorous interactions with the killers, especially the Huntress. [4][5][6] Some players criticize bugged achievements, frustrating mini-games, and lack of updates or additional content. [7][8][9]

As a player who likes to complete games by earning every achievement, my experience with this game was heavily soured by its bugged achievement system. Many achievements failed to unlock when they should have, forcing me to replay multiple routes that I had already completed. Notably, the "Cold-blooded" achievement was the worst offender. After some trial and error I discovered that I needed to replay bad endings …

Went in for the meme and got hit with surprisingly sharp writing and killer-specific personality. You’re stuck on an island trying to romance the Trapper, Huntress, Spirit or Wraith while the game roasts you the entire time. One wrong flirt and you’re getting hatcheted or phased through. The fourth-wall breaks are constant, the dates range from wholesome to unhinged, and somehow the killers feel more alive here than …

Leave it up to Behavior to come up with a really fun dating sim for DBD and then not capitalize on it at all. There should have been DLCs, updates, etc. Only 4 options and no update since 2022...it's sad. So many killers that could have been added and trust me...us freaky ahh DBD players would 100% pay more for those we want to romance. Overall the game is very fun for a dating sim and although it lacks much replay …

I didn't expect such a well-written and funny game. Definitely worth a try, especially if you are a Dead By Daylight fan, or if you are into oddly sexy but creepy killing machines that could chop your head off at any moment... Or both.

Cute, goofy and short dating sim. It's more a silly game than a pure romantic experience but it's indeed fun to play. Most of its humor and references are really tied to the main game (Dead by Daylight) therefore I only recomend this game to people who know quite a bit about DBD and its characters and lore. And no, you cannot romance the Tri... mmhmmgg MMMGHHN!!! *2 BHVR agents proceeded to tie the writer of this …

Critics, per Wikipedia
Hooked on You received "mixed or average reviews", according to review aggregator Metacritic. PC Gamer's Tyler Colp praised the game for its "magnetic" portrayal of the characters. He credited the writing with treating them "like real people", regardless of how "ridiculous and detached from their violent role in the multiplayer game" they were. Evan Valentine, writing for ComicBook.com, gave the game a rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars. Valentine appreciated its aesthetic and artwork, stating that it was able to successfully represent "the menace of each slasher", but felt that many of the jokes told by the game's narrators were "hit-or-miss", even for fans of Dead by Daylight. He also…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I first played this game I didn't understand why it had a "horror" tag. But a month later and this game is still at the front of my mind and I now understand that the real horror is what i'd let The Spirit do to me

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I paid a dollar for this ridiculous masterpiece...It was a dollar well spent. DBD should add this to the base game.

neutral · AI labelView post →A goofy dating sim parody with Dead by Daylight characters, Play it if you want a short silly time with a few of the characters... and if you want to see Trapper wear something um, special.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Huntress dropped a hint about wanting to start a family and I spat out my coffee. I will definitely buy the bathing suit skin available for her in the actual Dead by Daylight game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Suprisingly good. Its a dating sim with humor. was worth playing. ps: I can't be the only one that wanted to see huntress without the mask.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was an amazing game. I beg you devs, give me an update, a dlc, whatever. I WILL PAY FOR IT! P.S. I specifically request adding Dredge, Deathslinger, and Billy.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rizzed up spirit, uninstalled, would rizz up spirit again. 10/10 spirit a baddie
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hooked on You is mechanically simple but deliberately structured, using choice-driven progression, time management, and relationship tracking to turn a visual novel into a light systems-based experience. The core mechanic revolves around dialogue choices. Every response nudges hidden relationship values, affecting scenes, endings, and character availability. While the inputs are straightforward, the system rewards paying attention to character personalities and tonal cues rather than random…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hooked on You: A Dead by Daylight Dating Sim, developed by Psyop and published by Behaviour Interactive Inc., is one of the most unexpected and self-aware spin-offs to ever emerge from a horror franchise. It transforms the grim, tension-filled atmosphere of Dead by Daylight into a tropical paradise filled with flirtation, humor, and meta-commentary. Rather than running for your life from masked killers, you’re now trying to win their hearts. The result is a parody that manages to balance…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hooked on You has a fun concept and some great art, but it feels like most of the effort stopped there. I liked seeing the different outcomes and exploring the ridiculous premise, but the dialogue was boring and the story didn't have much substance. There's some fun to be had here, but I wish there was more underneath the concept.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game tries so hard to be meta and funny that the game comes off as more cringe than anything at the end of the day (there's a dull 10 min dialogue every playthrough where Dwight and Claudette try to convince you not to leave a bad review). I tried to 100% the game to help my completion percentage and to satisfy my curiosity after playing for 10 min and uninstalling upon release. The highlight of the game is getting to reject each killer and make them cry in a piece of rendered out art at…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game had me laughing for hours. its short so you can easily replay through the paths quickly, an easy fast forward button to skip through all the repeated dialog. Greatly enjoyed hope they do end up making another one
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →im Hooked on Huntress
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Completed this game 100% and got all the achievements. Do not reward this trash. You're better off watching a walkthrough elsewhere instead of playing it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm somewhat torn on whether or not I should recommend this game. On one side, it is a fun little spinoff of the Dead by Daylight franchise that isn't trying to take itself seriously while still connecting and adding enough lore to be interesting. On the other, the game feels somewhat half-baked with each killer only having about five different portraits and a lot of the dialogue being recycled across the different branches. The first playthrough was a blast, but after that, subsequent runs…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Genuinely the only good BHVR game. It is pretty fun and chill, two things DbD is not. All in all, this game was a sexual awakening for me. I recommend getting this game and frenching mommy Huntress!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Art style is very cute but the story writing falls flat on its face. It felt like I was reading a Wattpad fanfiction some 13yr cooked up late at night.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if you liked "i love you colonel sanders", you'll love this game. it has the exact same art style, over-the-top meta humor, art style, and even just character poses. personally i wouldn't recommend it to other people (yes i know you see my hours, yes i 100%ed it, no i'm not ashamed) because it just tries so hard to be funny that it turns out cringe. it's very high quality production stuff, but i'd say get it on sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is a fun and surprisingly charming spin-off. Great humor, stylish art, and hilarious character moments. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that’s what makes it so enjoyable. A must-play for Dead by Daylight fans!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cracked Huntress and Spirit in 2 days, peak game, what can i say
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →𖤐𖤐𖤐 Not typically the type of game I play so I can't really speak to how it compares to other dating sims/visual novels but what I can say is that this game is very clever and humorous. The narrator is self aware and is constantly breaking the 4th wall which makes for some of the best jokes in the game and as a Dead by Daylight fan the references and jokes related to the IP itself are amazing. I've even learned things about the lore that I didn't previously absorb through the flagship game.…
