It looks like a Dead by Daylight dating simulator🃏 may be on the way, as a recently uncovered trademark application indicates the developers are getting ready to make good on a jokey survey request.

Reddit user LongJonSiIver shared a screenshot of the trademark application on the , and you can pull up the original on the . The full title of the trademark application is "Hooked On You: A Dead by Dayl🔜ight Dating Simulator," and if that doesn't spell out what Behaviour Interactive is angling for clearly enough, the description stipulates that it is in fact for a video game, as well as perhaps for associated comic books and graphic novels.

. So if you picked that as a joke - or for real, no judgment here - you probably helped make this apparent new project happen.

It wouldn't even be the first horny-for-horror dating sim to come out in 2022, since we've already started going steady with eldritch gods in Sucker for Love.

She probably won't appear in Hooked On You, unless Behaviour's really going all out for licensing, but new Dead by Daylight killer Sadako is already scaring the living daylights out of play testers.

I got a BA in journa𝄹lism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I receiꦓved there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
