“It's a very cute game about a couple escaping an authoritarian arranged marriage for life system called The Matchmaker. Our protagonists had arranged partners but they decided nu-uh and dated eachother instead. They…”

“This is one of my favorite games ever. I've played it 4 times on the Switch and even gifted it to 3 friends. I wish there were a prequel, even as a comic or novel.”
“i just finished Haven today, and i really loved it! i'm glad i bought the game. i highly recommend it for those who enjoy story-driven games. can i request for Haven 2.0 please 😆❤”
“This game is so cute. It's pretty cozy, there's some combat but it's pretty simple. The story is fantastic, this is like the gayest game I've ever played and I love it. There are a bunch of different levels and…”

“Ok, I'm gonna give this game 5 stars story, art, and music wise. Gameplay wise, it's more like 3. The battle mechanics are kinda clunky/tedious, and I've had glitchy moments here and there. IDK if it's better with 2…”
“This is probably the only game with such awful level design that it literally made me actively hate the developers. For a game that centers around a story, poor guidance is a death sentence. For some mysterious reason…”

— a player, Steam review · 15 hrs played“I bought this during the Autumn sale in 2025 for just €2.49, and it sat chilling in my library for the better part of half a year before I finally got bored enough to give it a go. At first I played slowly, wanting to take my time and explore everything. After just one day of…”
