Amorous is a furry dating sim made by Jasonafex using the Others engine. It presents animated 2D CG visuals. You create your own character and enter a busy night club filled with neon lights and unusual people. The experience focuses on exploring the venue and meeting a varied cast of possible dates, with a sandbox style of play.
The current release is v1.0.4 Hotfix, dated April 13, 2021, and development is ongoing. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, with no censorship. This hotfix repaired the Mac and Linux builds after release files were mixed up. It also stopped the Club Amorous DJ from crashing the game on all platforms. On Mac, High DPI mode now needs the advanced startup argument -highdpi, with resolution and fullscreen settings adjusted before launching that way.
Developer's description
Thrust yourself to the front of the line of
Amorous
, a bustling furry night club that invites you to explore it's neon lights and eccentric characters. Immerse yourself with a fleshed out character creator and treat yourself to a varied cast of potential dates to explore!
v1.0.4 Hotfix
Unfortunately, some files got mixed up with the release yesterday, breaking the Mac and Linux builds of the game. A hotfix was just released to fix that issue.
On top of that, we saw reports of the Club Amorous DJ crashing the game. We also fixed that issue with this release on all platforms.
Last but not least, we noticed the High DPI mode on Mac needs some manual work to get right. As such, we moved the High DPI mode to a startup argument for advanced users: -highdpi.
To get High DPI mode working properly (as in, your menu won't be shown in the top-left with lots of black around it), follow these steps:
- Start the game without the -highdpi startup argument
- In the main menu under "Options", set your resolution to the maximum possible. Also turn on fullscreen mode.
- Close the Options-window properly (in order to save your changes).
- Close the game, or if you are no longer able to click "Quit", press CMD+Q instead.
- Set the -highdpi startup argument
- Start the game
You should now have a High DPI version of Amorous. Keep in kind that toggling fullscreen will break the High DPI mode and you will have to restart the game!
v1.0.4
Yes, you are seeing that right: it's an actual update!
Almost 3 years since the release of v1.0.3, Jasonafex and Lennian decided to give Amorous a final patch with "some" quality of life changes. With this, we feel the Amorous book can be properly closed.
We hope everyone enjoys this release!

Support
If the game crashed on startup for Windows 7 and older, please check:
The game does not force the use of a dedicated videocard, if not told too. If you experience problems, be sure to check your GPU control panel.
There is no "confirm resolution" timer. If your game won't start, use -safemode as a startup argument.
It has been reported that sometimes certain audio devices cause the game to crash. You can try starting the game with -disablesound as a startup argument.

Yeah, the game is uhh... alright. There's a lot of "content" here, not really talking sex scenes, but there's a decent amount of downtime with decent storytelling to be found. The sex itself? It's great, but its a small fraction…
