Love Thyself - A Horatio Story

Hey everybody,



Do any of you remember April 1st of last year? On that day, we briefly glimpsed perfection as we imagined a new standard in Horatio dating simulators. Back then, we honestly had no plans to follow through on it, for while we could imagine this perfect game, we could not imagine any way to truly capture the experience of dating Horatio, for who can earn his love but himself?


However, at Amplitude we always strive to listen closely to our community. And what we heard were a lot of requests for a Horatio-based experience. A LOT of them. In fact, there were so many remarks about it that they might as well have been clones, with a few remarkable exceptions.


Now, after a year of tinkering, we have finally been able to enhance a select few members of the community team to be able to deliver a true-to-vatgrown-life Horatio experience. We hope you will appreciate their great effort on your behalf, for they will never be the same… No, actually, they will forever be the same, as each other, for they have probably become Horatio. Check out some of their work below.




We can guess what you are thinking right now.

No. This is not actually an April fool’s joke. We’re serious.

Part 1 of “Love Thyself – A Horatio Story” is available now on Steam for FREE, andwe have dedicated a new forum to it.





Check back later this spring for part 2 and the exciting clone-clusion of this Horatio story!

Have fun,


The Amplitude Team.

The art style is excellent.

For more stories in the Endless Universe! (tho none will be more compelling than that of Horatio)

I am deeply, inconsolably, unutterably disappointed...


that you haven't finished part 2 yet.

Heh, well played. Amplitude just took April Fool's to a new level. What's next? "Flappy Wyvern: A Drakken Adventure"?

Wow, you guys are some of the best game devs I've seen. I've only recently started playing your games and I'm already a great fan of the Endless Universe.


For an April's Fools Day joke game this actually looks like a lot of fun!


I'm looking forward to anything else you make. Keep up the great work!

I just recently started getting into the Endless Space series (have been playing Endless Legend on and off for a while), and this alone has made me fall in love with the Horatio faction (and I haven't even played them yet).

Honestly, thinking it over

Creating more games like this could prove to be a massive pull for your audience... moreso than the comics are. I could see this game and others like it drawing in a large audience...

While that would certainly be welcome, and I agree with you on all of your statements, I don't think that it would be a good decision financially for Amplitude to make a bunch of visual novel style games unless they were to attach a price tag to them. 


With that said, if Amp were to make more of these games I'd certainly support them!

I really like it so far. I'm usually not a huge fan of games like this, but i can't wait for chapter 2!
