Need a dating sim and action game hybrid where you go to school at night and save the anime waifu of your dreams? Then Studio Sai has something for you.

They’re making a new game called Eternights, and they’ve shown off some new gameplay where it’s part visual novel and part hack-and-slash gameplay, along with a bunch of minigames to mix things up. You play a blue-haired protagonist who is stuck with other students (mostly hot chicks) in a school that’s enclosed in darkness, hence the monsters popping up frequently.

The game also comes with a release month: September 2023. You can wishlist the game right now on Steam. Check out the trailer and overview below:

“In Eternights, you’ll brave perilous dungeons steeped in mystery and danger while counting on your companions’ unique skills and spells in battle. Strategically exploit enemy weaknesses through elemental attacks while skillfully dodging, parrying and unleashing powerful combos. Monsters won’t be your only challenge; you’ll have to survive traps, outwit puzzles, conquer mini-games and hold hands if you are to save the world in this heartfelt game where romance and action play an equal part.

With a mysterious event turning humanity into monsters obsessed with violence, surreal evil stands between players, a cure and the brighter future the world deserves. Eternights’ gripping story is a race against time to stop a dark fate centered on a thoughtful examination of human connection and the intrinsic value of love. With scavenging, dungeon crawling and dating all on the to-do list, the clock is ticking – and choosing how to spend each precious remaining day counts.”
