About Kill Your Darlings

You are a weak human who has been imprisoned in the royal dungeon of Grand Nezeria. Now you are forced to participate in gladiatorial combat where you will surely die unless you make some powerful friends…

Manage your day-to-day life as a prisoner, level up your social stats, earn money and befriend, or even date, your fellow inmates (who are monsters). Influence the various characters' individual storylines and have them fight by your side, helping you to survive and escape the dungeon.

Your choices and leadership skills will determine whether you keep your friends alive and escape, or rot in prison forever.

Key Features

  • Play through multiple characters’ storylines and get to know them better.
  • Befriend and date your inmates, and they will assist and give you advantages in combat.
  • Choose your actions wisely, as everyone can die permanently, and you will have to live with the consequences.
  • Every choice matters, making every playthrough different from the last.
  • Manage your limited time with a calendar-system.
