Dead by Daylight dating sim Hooked on You has ridiculous levels of unhinged horniness, and players wouldn't have it any other way. The brand-new dating sim/visual novel from Behaviour Interactive has fans going wild on Twitter, TikTok, and the Hooked on You subreddit.
One of the funniest memes to crop up in the less than 24 hours since Hooked on You's release is the joke that Dead by Daylight is the "cheap copy" of Hooked on You. Considering the community has been consistently horny for the game's Killers long before there were even whispers of a dating sim, this is a hilarious take.
Since most of the game is pretty risque, you can imagine that the internet's reactions are fairly NSFW, but there are some things we can safely share here without you worrying that your coworker is peering over your shoulder. Even the official Hooked on You Twitter account is leaning into the horniness (be warned the replies to that tweet are...interesting).
I'm embedding a few of my favorite Hooked on You reactions below, which include (but are not limited to) comments on Trapper's glutes, a Stranger Things season 4 reference, and a hilarious streamer's reaction to an in-game suggestion that the Killers all play spin the bottle with you. There's also some fan fic that, for the sake of us all, I will not embed here, but has a lengthy description of someone peeing their pants because the Trapper made eye contact with them. Is everyone okay? I'm just checking in.

There's even a spoiler posted on the subreddit showing off a body pillow that depicts a fan-favorite Killer who isn't currently dateable in-game. Behavior Interactive clearly knows what it's doing, and the players are eating it up. Hooked on You is currently available on Steam if you want to get in on the horror horniness.
