Mission: It’s Compli­cated is a visual novel that lets players pair up super­heroes and save the world from impending doom. This narrative-based, feel-good expe­ri­ence allows players to take command of their own adventure as well as create various romantic and platonic pairings between the five different super­heroes — of varying genders and orien­ta­tions — to complete an assort­ment of missions and protect the planet from total anni­hi­la­tion.

Available on PC for Windows and Mac, Mission: It’s Compli­cated has a total gameplay time that hovers between 8 – 10 hours. It takes between 2 – 3 hours to get to the conclu­sion of a single pairing. There are ten pairings in total.

Mission: It’s Compli­cated offers players a one-of-a-kind narrative where the puns are terrible but the feels are real. It has a distinct set of unique and heart­warming features, including:

• Choosing your OTP! Any hero of the five can be paired with another to win the game.
• No bummers! Every pair has a happy ending, so no need to whip out the tissue box or Ben & Jerry’s.
• LGBTQIA+ friendly
• Friend dates! Friend­ship is just as important as romance. Win the game with romantic or platonic love depending on which pair you pick.
• Free! Not secretly-designed-for-micro­trans­ac­tions-free, but actually free.

Mission: It’s Compli­cated is free on Steam and itch.io.
