The people mistakenly claiming html5 was going to be the next Flash, I guess

I remember a lot of dating sims.

One of them started with a guy in a bathroom shaving and playing techno music before going to find a date.

They had funny as heck endings like the girl spinning on the ceiling fan at the end (During sex). Just crazy stuff.

Anyone remember what they were called? I swear I had them archived but I can’t find them anywhere. I think there were 20-30 of them from the same creator.

Well ok, I guess it eventually got there, but at the time Flash was getting shut down there wasn’t any equivalent self contained game engine IDE that compared, it was a big setback.

All those flash games got preserved and you can still play them:
