Get ready PlayStation fans, another uniquely interactive movie game is heading your way. Motesolo: No Girlfriend Since Birth, a comedic FMV title that puts players in the driver’s seat of a Korean romantic dramedy, is set to launch on PS4 on March 28th.
Already available on other platforms like PS5 and Nintendo Switch, Motesolo aims to immerse fans in the drama-filled travails of one Kimo Kang – a chill caramel macchiato aficionado whose fatal flaw is having reached the ripe old age of 30 without ever landing a girlfriend. Ouch.
As Kimo once more ventures tentatively into the land of blind dates, players act as his helpful sidekick/annoying conscience via a suite of interactive features layered over the live-action storytelling.
Will you offer sound advice to smooth over awkward moments? Or intentionally sabotage any shot at romance through poor decisions? Either way, your choices shape Kimo’s path toward ending up forever alone…or maybe finding true love?
Part wacky parody and part cringy relationship drama, Motesolo seems eager to poke fun at familiar Korean/Asian media tropes while putting a playful spin on the tried-and-true interactive movie formula.
More Than Just a Gimmick
Rather than relying solely on branching story outcomes though, developer Indicava Entertainment has tucked in additional content like supplemental character vignettes, behind-the-scenes bloopers, and hidden phone apps adding pop culture Easter eggs. So there looks to be plenty for curious players to uncover across various playthroughs.
While it remains to be seen whether Kimo can get out of his own way on his clumsy romantic journey when Motesolo hits PS4 this month, fans of FMV titles or Korean media can likely look forward to an amusing diversion from the usual action-oriented offerings. Just maybe save the date night recommendations until you uncover the best ending!
