Finding Buddies is a Unity-made dating sim by FindingBuddies, presented with 3D animated visuals. You play Daniel, a young man starting adult life after a difficult past. Even so, he has moved on and learned to socialize again. He faces many new responsibilities, and your choices shape how he handles them. He must balance many duties. The story follows his efforts to make new social connections. Along the way, he can meet cute guys and build gay romance connections.
Development is ongoing, with the current build being version v0.8.05, released on January 2, 2026, for Windows. It is available in English and Portuguese and is uncensored. Earlier update notes describe supporter-only content with Matheus, broader access to Neremias, continued scenes, added audio, and translation fixes.
