Don't Make Love

Don't Make Love is a relationship dilemma game in which you play as one of two praying mantises. The couple love each other, but their instinct to have sex could lead to the male’s death. During a conversation at this impasse, you type responses to your partner and try to keep the relationship in balance, with no satisfying solution.

Shape the conversation

You can type freely, though the interaction depends on what you say. The game responds meaningfully when you take on the role and situation of a couple discussing their stalled relationship; otherwise, it ignores most of your input. You can play as either the male or the female mantis, and the conversation can lead to multiple endings across nonlinear playthroughs.

Art and soundtrack

The game uses hand-drawn art with a cinematic feel. Its soundtrack changes dynamically according to your partner’s mood.
