Developed by swav-gav, Check, Please! is a simple dating simulation video game, available for the Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux operating systems. It takes a silly look at how to interact on a first date from the perspective of a character. Be warned, though! The physics on the date are pretty wacky and undoubtedly will cause some trouble. Carefully find the way to satisfy a date in the time required or face the consequences.
The game is short, sweet, yet awaiting a few finishing touches. It still offers an amusing take on the normally serious dating sim game genre. Be careful when attempting to pour a glass of wine for the date; fail, and things will undoubtedly get awkward quickly!
Check, Please! Features
Control a floating hand and try to complete basic tasks to impress a date at the fancy restaurant. Light a candle for the romantic ambiance and add to the mood. Try to pour her some wine without making a mess everywhere. Be particularly careful to not make her wait too long, or surely you'll suffer an unexpected but hilarious consequence. Nothing takes itself too seriously in this carefully crafted physics experiment. Hitting a date causes players to fail immediately and have to start from the beginning. Practice hard and eventually, the video game will prove its truly amusing nature.
Check Please! also features a soundtrack that impresses many. Its quirky tones and bouncy rhythm provide a perfect background to the fast-paced delivery of the game. The girl is very particular about how things should go, too. Expect to spill or fail at least one time while adjusting to the wild stylized play. The blocky art style lends itself well to the short and sweet nature of the game. Many people note that it's hilarious and clever, while also asking for more already! Play through three separate courses while trying to impress the latest date. Be careful, though, because she's no pushover. Her face indicates how she feels about the date's current status, giving players the ability to try and fix mistakes or errors before it's too late!
In Summary

The physics portray the true awkwardness of a first romantic encounter and provide lots of ways to mess up the date. The music adds to the ridiculousness of accidentally pouring wine into someone's lap. Don't take too long, either, or your date has another surprise awaiting. There's no end to the goofy possibilities of messing it up. Careful, or she'll be asking for the check before you know it.
