Get Ready to Relive the Cringey Glory of Teenhood in Consume Me
Buckle Up, Nostalgia Fans!
If you’ve ever navigated the treacherous waters of adolescence—and let’s face it, most of us have—you’re in for a treat. During this year’s Day of the Devs Summer Game Fest Edition, Hexecutable unveiled Consume Me, a new life simulation RPG that’s poised to hit PC and Mac on September 25, 2025. This delightful yet darkly humorous take on teenage life has already bagged multiple awards at GDC 2025, including the coveted Seamus McNally Grand Prize.
The Untold Struggles of Being a Teen
In Consume Me, players take on the role of Jenny, a high school senior juggling the joys of first love with the relentless pressures of finishing her academic career. Sounds relatable, right? The game is crafted by a talented team, including Jenny Jiao Hsia and Ken "coda" Snyder, who recognize the universal truth: “Being a teenager sucks.” And here we thought it was all about hormones and heartbreak!
Gameplay That’s a Recipe for Chaos
Prepare yourself for a gaming experience that doubles as a therapy session. Your daily grind involves strategic scheduling to maximize Jenny’s “glow-up” and dodge the heavy weight of social expectation. The gameplay offers:
-
Puzzle-like Dieting: Your meals aren’t just sustenance; they’re strategic mini-games where every bite counts. Overeating? Undereating? Watch out—your in-game dog is ready to help with clean-up duties if you miscalculate.
-
Time Management Mastery: Imagine waking up to a laundry list of tasks, relationships, and deadlines. As you balance schoolwork and romantic pursuits, you’ll be challenged to make tough decisions—what to prioritize today?
-
Fashion Armor: Who says you can’t slay while flailing through life? Equip Jenny with various garments that serve as “armor,” but beware; each outfit only lasts a single day before you’ll need to summon the magical ritual of laundry.
- Multiple Endings: For those craving replayability, Consume Me offers over 13 possible endings. Spoiler alert: don’t expect them all to be sunshine and rainbows.
The Emotional Rollercaster
The developers promise a concoction of laughter, tears, and a pinch of existential dread. With its satirical take on teenage life, Consume Me is set to resonate with anyone who ever felt “ugly, lazy, stupid, or unloved.”
So whether you’re ready to whip your own past into shape or just get a chuckle out of your cringe-worthy teenage years, mark your calendars for September 25, 2025. This is one gaming experience you won’t want to miss!
