- Indie games Rizz Dungeon: Skeleton Key to My Heart has a free demo out now
- It’s a cute game about flirting with fantasy creatures
- It will be published in its entirety later this year
Upcoming indie release Rizz Dungeon: Skeleton Key to My Heart just got a free Steam demo as part of the ongoing WINGS Women’s Day Sale.
The game from which Turnip Boy commits tax evasion developer Snoozy Kazoo, is all about flirting your way through retro-style fantasy dungeons.
You play as Taffy, the hopeless ex of a powerful dragon demon lord, who embarks on a lengthy mission to win her back with rare gifts captured from a monster-filled dungeon. Unfortunately, you have next to no fighting ability, but tactical flirting soon proves enough to win the day.

The game’s turn-based “battle” system challenges you to carefully time blown kisses while charging a counter meter that unlocks the ability to unleash a powerful ‘rizz’ move. This you have to choose from a selection of pick-up lines, the most effective wooing the monster to join your party.
From then on they can fight on your behalf; it’s almost like Pokémonbut with all the thirst of a special racy Baldur’s Gate 3 playthrough and lots of laugh-out-loud moments. Each monster has one of four different personality types, with a dynamic interaction system that requires you to give each the right amount of attention to avoid arguments.
I’ve been enjoying the demo so far (I especially like the super cute pixel art in each character sprite, not to mention the constant stream of very Gen Z jokes), and the full game promises access to more than a dozen types of monster, including werewolves, goblins, unicorns, and more. That’s on top of five unique dungeons to explore and tie in activities like visiting inns and lodgings.
The Steam store page clarifies that “this is a short game made by a small team” in animated giant bright right burning font, so I don’t expect this to be the longest game out there, but I’m still eager to play more when it comes out later this year.
