About the Story

Dating’s hard. Especially in this climate.

You’ve tried it all—apps, setups, chance encounters—but nothing’s stuck. So what’s one more bad idea? In a moment of desperation (or brilliance), you say yes to reality TV.

Welcome to Warm Me Up, Snap Studio’s very first dating experiment.

You were expecting sunshine and swimsuits. Instead? You’re stranded in a luxury chalet with eleven strangers and one rule: pair up or freeze out. Fail to make a connection, and you’re headed straight to the Cold Zone.

Warm Me Up is an interactive fiction rated 18+ for explicit language, explicit sexual themes, alcohol use, and moral ambiguity.

❄️ FEATURES ❄️

Customize your MC. From appearance, personality, to motivations. You character is yours to make.

Rich relationship dynamics. With eleven romanceable contestants and the cameras always rolling, things are bound to get messy. It's up to you whether you want to keep it platonic, find your person, or hook up in the pantry. Nobody's judging...except the audience.

Multiple endings. Your time in the mountains can leave quite an impression. How will your story end?

❄️ ROMANCE OPTIONS ❄️

Anjali Lal | She/Her, 25, Model/Skincare Entrepreneur

Polished, poised, and unapologetically high-maintenance, Anjali doesn’t suffer fools or wrinkles. Her sharp tongue and cold exterior might scare some off, but if you make her crack, she just might surprise you.

Dmitry Volkov | He/Him, 30, Private Wealth Manager

Outwardly, Dmitry comes off as too perfect. But he’s more than just good manners and a strong jawline. Quietly protective and endlessly thoughtful, he’ll always strive to put you first.

Jong-woo Kim | He/Him, 23, Fitness Influencer

Bubbly, bright, and built like a Greek statue, Jong-woo brings the sunshine wherever he goes. He’s a little awkward, endlessly enthusiastic, and surprisingly wise for someone who still calls his mom every day. Whether he’s working out or working the room, you can’t help but smile when he’s around.

Kailee Blake | She/Her, 26, Interior Designer

Kailee's all smiles and sweet touches, but it's clear she knows how to play the game. While her affection might feel genuine at times, her true motives stay tucked behind that charming facade. If you’re not careful, you’ll think she’s on your side right up until she twists the knife with a smile.

Kalea Mahelona | She/Her, 22, Student

Kalea is candy personified: sweet, soft, and easy to break if you’re not careful. She’s clumsy, shy, and easily flustered, but once she warms up to you, she’s all in.

Linden Craft | They/Them, 31, Café Owner

Grounded and honest, Linden is the breath of fresh air you didn’t know you needed. A little quiet and unreadable, they offer comfort by simply being. With their steady presence and emotional maturity, they make it easy to be exactly who you are.

Luca/Lucia Gigliotti | He/Him OR She/Her, 28, Luxury Art Curator

Cunning, cultured, seductive: Lu thrives on tension and desire. With them, love—if it exists at all—is a just game. Whether you join in is your choice. Either way, you’re in for one hell of a ride.

Makai Jones | He/Him, 27, High School History Teacher

Aloof, unreadable, and hard to impress, Makai keeps his guard sky-high. He’s cautious and most people don’t get past the walls he’s built. But if you do manage to earn his trust, you’ll find someone loyal, grounded, and quietly ride-or-die in a way that never asks for recognition.

Marcel Toussaint | They/He, 29, Mixologist

Flamboyant, passionate, and just a touch unhinged, Marcel refuses to be ignored. They flirt for sport and love watching people fall for them, whether or not they plan to catch them. But sometimes, even a wildcard wants something real…it just might take a while. A very long while.

Misty Delgado | She/Her, 26, Park Ranger

Misty is the epitome of cool and always in control. She takes life one day at a time and is definitely not one to rise to the drama. Sometimes, she’s so laid-back it makes you wonder if she’s here to make a real connection…or just enjoy the view.

Santiago/Santina Reyes | He/Him OR She/Her, 28, Tattoo Artist/Small Business Owner

Smooth, unflappable, and devastatingly charismatic, Santi is hard to resist. They’ve got a magnetic presence and always seem to know the perfect moment to tease, to comfort, or to challenge you. And their heart? It’s big. So big, you start to wonder if there might be room in there for you, too.

Ratings and Reviews

It’s getting hot in here, January 24, 2026

In Warm Me Up, you are single and tired of romantic relationships that go nowhere. So, when a production company announces casting for a romance reality TV show called “Warm Me Up,” you submit an application… and are chosen to be a contestant!

CASTING NOW:
HOT SINGLES WANTED

Since the game is still under development, I’m going to wait on assigning it a rating.

The premise of a reality dating TV show piqued my interest because it reminds me of the ChoiceScript game Blood Island. As a work of horror, Blood Island focused more on exploring the sole survivor “final girl” trope and less on individual romance between contestants. Warm Me Up proved to be an opportunity to focus on the falling-in-love part as well as depicting the logistics of a reality TV show.

Currently, the game consists of the application process and the first day of filming. The show is structured around a bidding process where each contestant bids on one person they want to pair up with. If two individuals choose each other, they sleep in a cozy lodge. Failure means sleeping in a tent outside. In the Swiss Alps. The game ends soon after the results are announced. But prior to this is gameplay where you get acquainted with the contestants and have a chance to build a rapport with them.

“No need to fall so hard for me.”— ♡
“You’ve got a little…”— ♡
“Let me help you.”
“You seem…busy. I won’t get in your way.”

Rapport is measured with a stat system for romance and friendship metrics. The player, too, has stats that reflect their personality. Player appearance is also customizable.

Right now, the game isn’t long enough to feel much connection with the contestants, but that didn’t stop me from fussing over who they were going to choose for the bidding ceremony (Spoiler - click to show)(I’ve only been successful in pairing with Kalea and Dmitry). I assume it’s possible for every contestant to fall head over feels in love with the player. But will this be based in dynamic relationship-building that reflects the uniqueness of each character or will it simply revolve around having a high enough stat? Time will tell.

As a Twine game, Warm Me Up keeps it simple with a blue colour pallet that can be viewed in light or dark mode. Text is easy to read and the occasional emoji adds flair.

Final thoughts
Warm Me Up is clearly an ambitious project and impresses with its polished appearance and solid TV show premise. I know I’m committed. Despite consisting of only one chapter, the framework for a fantastic game has already been laid. I hope this momentum continues as it undergoes further development.
