Is That Comet Flirting with You? Sucker for Love: Crush Landing Demo Arrives Feb 12th!
Meet Hheily and Order Ramen in This Colorful and Comedic Intro
Kraków, Poland (February 11, 2026) – Ever felt like you wanted to reach out and touch the stars? Well, next week you can—at your own risk.
Black Lantern Collective is bringing the next chapter of Akabaka’s comedic Lovecraftian dating series to PC soon, with Sucker for Love: Crush Landing, and players can get their first introduction with a demo dropping this Thursday, February 12th.
When a meteorite crashes into your apartment, you’re shocked to meet an interstellar entity who can change form and mimic your speech. Introducing herself as Hheily, she can only survive as long as you keep feeding the comet’s flames. Search your apartment to see what you can part with, stoking Hheily’s fire until help can arrive.
Experiment with different items to see Hheily’s reactions to life on Earth, get advice from friends and neighbors, flirt a little, and try the demo again for new endings.
“Sucker for Love: Crush Landing is a joyful, neon-lit descent that asks how much of your world you’re willing to let decay just to stay in the warmth of Hheily’s glow. Hheily is bright in every sense of the word—cheerful, vibrant, and utterly impossible to ignore— that threatens to engulf your friends, your home, your city, life as you know it. We wanted to capture the beauty and terror of the abyss; a vivid light flashes against the darkness of space, where you’re so dazzled that you don’t notice the pull until you are helplessly trapped in her gravity.” –Akabaka
