If you’re a fan of visual novel games and collectible card games (CCGs), then EVERDATE might be the perfect game for you. Developed by Leeanne M. Krecic (Mongie) and her team under “Mongie Studios,” EVERDATE is a dating simulator game that blends elements of both genres. The game is based on the characters from Mongie’s popular webcomic Let’s Play and has been eagerly anticipated by fans since its announcement.

Currently, the game is being funded through a Kickstarter campaign, which has two weeks left as of the time of writing. The campaign has already exceeded its initial funding goal, and other stretch goals have been unlocked, promising even more content for players.

In EVERDATE, players take on the role of one of the available 12 characters, trying to win the affection of several love interests. The game features branching storylines that are affected by the player’s choices throughout the game. These choices impact the narrative, gameplay, and the player’s relationships with romantic interests.

Regarding the CCG aspect, EVERDATE features a robust card game system that allows players to collect and use cards in matches with other characters. The game includes various cards with different abilities, and players must strategically build decks to overcome the challenges presented to them by the date’s locations. The CCG aspect adds depth to the game, making it more than just a simple dating simulator.

The game’s stunning visuals feature beautifully drawn characters and rendered environments that bring the world of Let’s Play to life. The music and sound effects also enhance the game’s overall atmosphere, adding to the immersive experience.

In summary, EVERDATE is a unique blend of visual novel and CCG gameplay, with a captivating storyline and stunning visuals. It’s no wonder that the game has already surpassed its initial funding goal on Kickstarter. If you’re a fan of Let’s Play or enjoy dating simulator games and CCGs, be sure to check out EVERDATE and support its Kickstarter campaign while you still can!

I have been an incredibly fortunate creator to have some amazing and thoughtful fans. You have brought LP’s readership numbers into the millions and helped Volume 1 and 2 of the print edition be some of the most successful graphic novel Kickstarters in the platform’s history. You have shown the industry that there is a demand for comedy, love, mental wellness, and comics in a way they never realized.

Unfortunately, I must report some sad news. I will not be returning with season 4 of Let’s Play at WEBTOON. This was an incredibly difficult decision, and no single event led to it. There have been ongoing difficulties for several years, most of which I can’t discuss, nor is this the appropriate forum. But some concerns include Let’s Play being excluded from marketing, despite promises to the contrary, and placing LP behind an age gate when there are series with far more controversial content that isn’t restricted. My representation has voiced these concerns and others to the necessary individuals at WEBTOON, but the blame was reflected back at me for incredibly far-fetched reasons. These issues, among many others, have made me feel marginalized and that WEBTOON does not value Let’s Play or me.

On top of this, I have been watching other creators courageously voice their concerns, particularly over the last year. Whether it be about the ad campaign that considers our profession a “side hustle.” The pay disparity for LATAM creators. Or the ongoing lack of transparency and errors in accounting that I’ve experienced personally. WEBTOON is no longer the right platform for me or Let’s Play.

No one is more disappointed with this outcome than I am. But know that I WILL continue Let’s Play once I am contractually able to do so and will be able to return to the new season unburdened. I believe Let’s Play will be even better as a result of what this freedom brings, and when the time is right, I will announce WHEN and WHERE season 4 will launch.

There will be other exciting news about Let’s Play and some new projects in the coming months, and I am eager to make those announcements.

Until then, I look forward to when I can tell the story of Let’s Play again, and we can get back to enjoying our beloved characters as they experience new things and continue to level up.
