    A short, devoid of any really serious game changing choices, or any long term progression. It is, however, a gorgeously constructed distraction.

    I Love You Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator is fun for a free laugh, but will bore visual novel veterans with its one-note supporting cast. Stay for the art style, but feel free to grab your chicken to go if you’re in a hurry for something else.

    The idea of dating the figurehead of KFC is a novel one, but I Love You, Colonel Sanders! is a joke with no punchline. Dipping into the absurd is fine, but the lack of follow-through makes this visual novel drier than the fast food chain’s biscuits.

    What could you really expect from a fast food advertisement in the form of a visual novel? For what it is, you’ll get about an hour of humorous — but not hilarious — story to experience. You may learn a little bit about KFC’s founder as well. But more than anything else, the game’s detailed artwork of KFC menu items may make you want to go to the fast food establishment. By that metric, the game is a success. But as a visual novel, you’d easily be able to play something much better than I Love You, Colonel Sanders for free or just a few dollars.

    I came away from I Love You, Colonel Sanders confused more than anything. It’s not actively hostile to the genre, but also doesn’t take the genre seriously enough to be funny to fans of it.

    KFC and developer Psyop are using the dating sim purely for the “what the f.ck” factor of dating a fast food mascot, which feels acceptable in what’s sometimes considered a “wacky” genre anyway, at least, at times, in mainstream coverage. It plays into a “weird thing from Japan” trope, which is something the developers call on — though not explicitly — to explain away the many unearned weird things that happen in I Love You, Colonel Sanders!, like a spork monster and the culinary student that’s literally a kitchen appliance.

    I never knew I wanted this so badly. It ain't homo if its the Colonel right? I'd totally eat the five dollar fill up with the many herbs andI never knew I wanted this so badly. It ain't homo if its the Colonel right? I'd totally eat the five dollar fill up with the many herbs and spices.

    This game is good due to it being an absolute trainwreck. A good kind though. Think of the best, most fun party you've been to, multiply that by a thousand, then send it to school and you've got Colonel Sanders.

    Its an Otome themed visual novel where you romance either the Colonel or a couple of other routes. Even if for the lulz, GET THIS GAME! IT IS FREE!    … Expand

    You all were too blind to see the power this game truly has, and now it is left in the dust.

    This game was much better than I expected.

    It actually has a plot and would make sense if it wasn't about KFC at all and was just a parody of cooking animes and absurd dating sims. It is also much longer than you would think a game meant to advertise a restaurant would be and you do have to put in effort to get the best ending.

    The message, "Food that is simple but well done is better than fancy food you can't actually eat", was also good and actually unique - honestly it is a message I could scream at the folks on baking shows that make cakes that shoot fire and are mostly fondant and icing that nobody could actually stomach.

    But it isn't perfect. The options are often limited or really obvious, except for one 'boss fight' where the 'right' combination that is needed for the best ending is borderline random. The game also tries a little too hard at the 'lol random' humor.

    But at the end of the day, it DID make me want to eat some KFC. This was surprisingly effective as an advertisement as well as as a game so it did its job.    … Expand

    For a game with a concept that involves dating Colonel Sanders it's incredibly boring and not really as funny as you would think it would be.For a game with a concept that involves dating Colonel Sanders it's incredibly boring and not really as funny as you would think it would be. It doesn't feel like a funny dating simulator it feels like a lazy KFC advertisement pandering towards weebs.… Expand
