Redneck Romantic
Looking for love? You might find it in the back of the shed.
Welcome to the only visual novel where the family tree is a wreath and the love of your life might literally be a firearm. In this redneck parody dating sim, you return to your roots to find the romance you've been missing.
Forget anime girls or brooding vampires. Here, the hearts are made of steel, diesel, and constitutional rights.
Meet the Eligible Bachelorettes:
- Shotty, a Benelli Supernova: She’s loud AND she’s loaded. Treat her right, or she might just go off on you.
- Angelica, a John Deere Model M: She’s got huge tires and a heart of horsepower. (Coming Soon)
- Amanda II, The 2nd Amendment : You read that right! The literal Second Amendment of the United States. Freedom never looked so good. (Coming Soon)
Current Version: Right now, you can play the full Shotty Route. Can you handle her recoil and unlock the Good Ending, or will you trigger the Bad Ending and get blasted?

Early days, and for a jam, but if you're willing to accept some criticism...
If your game is browser-play only, having a quit button on the main menu is kind of pointless. As it is, it just crashes everything and requires a tab/browser reset to play again.
Dollface is sporting iron sights, not a scope like she says. I dunno, maybe she's being sarcastic?
The timer is a little subtle, it took a few failures to ID why my dates were ending so badly. Maybe thicken up the bar a little, or move it adjacent to the romance gauge?
Ya gotta get out of here with that 220V outlet on the win screen! We use 120s in America, the Eastern Hemisphere wall outlet really stands out as unAmerican.
Reconsider the farm as a titlescreen backdrop - the game leans hard on the "Rednecks as hicks" trope, and while farmers can be Rednecks in the literal sense (Southern American outdoor blue collar workers) no 21st century American farmer has the mix of laziness, ignorance, and xenophobia to be described as a hick.
Gripes aside, good work putting together a system that feels tense and a little puzzle-like. I dug the Southern Fried Hatoful Boyfriend theme, too. Hope I get to play a version with Angelica and Amanda II some day.
