No, it’s not an early April’s Fools joke.
KFC themselves are publishing a Dating Sim featuring the Colonel himself and his restaurant. Here’s the blurb on their steam page:
I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator follows you, a promising culinary student, as you try to date your classmate, Colonel Sanders.
And I think that says it all really.
You can check it out and wishlist this weird game on Steam here.
