Creepy Dates: game facts, developer and community

Last updated:

Creepy Dates is a creepypasta dating sim made by Hahadit, a solo developer. It is free on itch.io, runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, was written in Spanish first with English, Russian and Portuguese options, and currently has three chapters and six routes.

There is no official wiki. The itch.io comment thread — over 2,500 comments, with the developer replying directly — is the closest thing the game has to one.

Who created Creepy Dates?

Hahadit, an independent developer who posts on itch.io as @Hahadit_. She is explicit on the game page that she works alone, which is the stated reason the current six routes are the priority before new characters get added. She is a self-taught artist from Argentina, and Spanish is the original language of the game.

She is unusually responsive in the comments — answering unlock questions, explaining how saves carry across chapters, and fixing a release-day Chapter 3 bug within hours. She also maintains a bug report form (linked from the store page) and asks that hostility go to her Tumblr rather than the form.

Her other itch.io work includes a Jeff the Killer dress-up game.

Searches about controversy

Queries like "por qué es controversial el artista de CreepyDates" show up in search data. We could not find a primary source — a callout post, a named allegation, a statement from Hahadit — that substantiates any specific claim. What is on the record is thinner than that: the store page asks that death threats not go in the bug form, and the Chapter 2 devlog thanks people who play "even if u don't like me". Those lines show friction exists. They do not tell you what it is about.

Until something verifiable is published, this page will not repeat rumours. The useful facts about the developer are above.

Where the community is

itch.io comments — the main hub

With 2,500-plus comments this is where questions actually get answered, in a mix of English, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian. The best route tricks documented anywhere — the Toby trigger, the cooking minigame solution — came from players there.

Tumblr and Twitter

Where Hahadit posts art and announcements — and, in practice, where news lands before itch.io does. The 25 October date for Chapter 4 came from her Tumblr, and her Tumblr asks are the most detailed source on the game's lore and roadmap anywhere.

Fandom and fan wikis

There is no official Creepy Dates wiki. Individual creepypasta characters have extensive Fandom coverage, but that documents the original creepypastas, not this game's version of them.

Looking for art rather than information? The images and screenshots guide maps where official art legitimately lives.

Reddit and YouTube

No dedicated subreddit of any size. YouTube is more useful — full route playthroughs of Chapter 3 exist and are the only complete record of some scenes.

A caution about secondary sources

Creepy Dates has attracted a cluster of near-identical fan sites publishing detailed walkthroughs that do not match the game — invented endings with point thresholds, a sanity meter the game does not have, and full walkthroughs for the unreleased Chapter 4.

When something matters, check it against Hahadit's official itch.io page, a devlog, or recorded gameplay. That is the standard this site holds itself to, and where we cannot meet it we say so on the page.

The wiki, entry by entry

Fifty-plus short entries covering the characters, items, places, systems and facts of Creepy Dates — each one limited to what traces to the game, the developer or recorded gameplay. Deeper treatments live in the route guides.

The six datable routes

Jeff the Killer
Met first in the forest (choosing him over Eyeless Jack is safe). His room hides the game's most useful items: the clothes pile with the underwear and the knife-carrying hoodie, the weapons closet, and the burned family photo. He proposes spin the bottle at the Chapter 3 party and is dismissive about his brother Liu.
Eyeless Jack
The forest alternative to Jeff, tied to the cooking minigame solved with eyes, pasta, eyes and no sauce. His Chapter 2 scene runs through Jeff's weapons-closet trip, which ends in the Jeff-or-Ben choice.
Ben Drowned
Lives in the basement with his TVs and consoles. You meet him by clicking the console on the floor — a documented trigger that also unblocks the Chapter 2 clean-up sequence. Decorates his lair sarcastically and threatens you with his axe; neither is a fail state.
Ticci Toby
The most missable route. He appears at Masky and Hoodie's jammed door only if you have never entered his room. Picking him as your favourite in Chapter 1 gates content, and helping him find his muzzle makes the scene go well.
Masky and Hoodie
One shared poly route by design — Hahadit has said she planned it that way from the beginning and a fan asked whether Tim and Brian are dateable as a threesome, receiving a blunt yes. Their bedroom door, tried with the knife, jams and triggers the Toby encounter.
Slenderman
You summon him yourself: paper and marker, candles from your bin, and the power cuts out. He later builds you a room from answers you gave him. High affection with several characters makes him possessive. No sanity meter exists on his route.

Characters without routes

Laughing Jack
Not romanceable. He hosts the Chapter 3 party, assigns the decorating job, hands you candy and spins the bottle for you. His room stays locked during decorating, with laughter behind it.
Nina the Killer
In Chapter 3 her room is full of Polaroids of Jeff, and she can give you a Jeff plush. Show her the burned family photo and she tells you his backstory.
Liu Woods
Jeff's brother, present in person in Chapter 3, helping hang garlands and visibly tense around Jeff. He appears in the damaged family photo; Jeff calls him 'a complete idiot'.
Clockwork
Appears in the game's wider cast without a route. The routes list tracks who is and isn't datable.
Splendorman
One of Slenderman's brothers, visiting during the Chapter 3 party — the reason Masky and Hoodie would rather be elsewhere.
Offenderman
Slenderman's other brother, also visiting in Chapter 3 alongside Splendorman.
Hahadit
The solo developer — she does the writing, art and development herself. She also has a smaller Jeff the Killer dress-up game on her itch.io profile.

Items

The knife
Comes from the hoodie in Jeff's clothes. Its actual job is jamming Masky and Hoodie's door, which triggers the Toby encounter. Worth taking on every route.
The hoodie
Sits in the clothes pile in Jeff's room; the knife comes with it.
The underwear
Also in Jeff's clothes pile. Handing it to him is the documented way to raise his love meter a lot.
The muzzle (bozal)
Toby's, and it is in his own room. Finding it for him is the favour that opens the rest of his scene. The original Spanish name is bozal.
The candles
Hidden in the bin in your room — the step most people get stuck on before the summoning ritual.
Marker and paper
The other ritual components. Already-made drawings work too, including ones from the memory box.
The pills
An inventory item with no confirmed use in Chapters 1 to 3. The Toby association comes from creepypasta canon, not from anything recorded in-game.
The kidney
Same status as the pills: collectible, no confirmed use yet. A Spanish-speaking player asked the developer directly and received no answer.
Video tapes and camera
In Masky and Hoodie's room during decorating. The camera breaks if you use it, and getting caught offers a truth, lie or silence choice.
Jeff plush
Given to you by Nina in Chapter 3.
The candy
Laughing Jack hands you a piece at the party.

Places

The forest
The first branching location: Jeff or Eyeless Jack, both safe. The room-order rules only start inside the house.
Jeff's room
Clothes pile, a desk covered in knife cuts and bottles, the weapons closet, and the burned family photo. He is out of the house during decorating, making it the quiet window to explore.
The basement
Ben's lair, with the console trigger on the floor. The Chapter 3 party and spin the bottle happen down here, much to his horror.
Toby's room
The room you must not enter early. It also holds his muzzle once his encounter has played out.
Masky and Hoodie's bedroom door
The trigger point of the Toby encounter — trying it with the knife jams it.
Nina's room
Full of Polaroids of Jeff, and where she shares his backstory.
Laughing Jack's room
Locked during the decorating sequence; you can hear him laughing and talking to himself through it.
Your room
Holds the bin with the ritual candles and the rug where you summon Slenderman.

Systems and mechanics

The affection system
Invisible but real: Chapter 3 states characters react to your affection level. Concentrate it for a clean route; spread it for the jealous variants.
The favourite pick
Naming your favourite creepypasta in Chapter 1 gates later content on that path — most visibly Toby's.
The proxy offer
Slenderman's end-of-Chapter-1 offer and the game's biggest branch: refuse for the mansion tour routes, accept for proxy missions.
Room-entry order
Encounters are gated on where you have already been rather than on dialogue. Save when you enter a new location.
The cooking minigame
Looks unwinnable; the documented combination is eyes, pasta, eyes, with no sauce.
The decorating sequence
Laughing Jack's job for you: three rooms plus the basement, and the richest exploration window in the game.
Spin the bottle
The basement party scene, proposed by Jeff after shooting down everyone else's ideas.
Saves and add-on chapters
Chapters install over one build and preserve saves — the developer's own instruction is to update and load your latest save.
The screenshot function
The game saves screenshots inside its own folder, which is how players capture route art.
Language options
The original is Spanish; English, Russian and Portuguese are set in Options / Opciones.

Fan wikis
Document the original creepypasta characters, not Creepy Dates' versions of them — our wiki page keeps the two apart.

Secondary sources with mixed reliability; verify anything surprising against the itch.io thread.
The fake-walkthrough pattern
Invented Chapter 4 guides, named endings like 'Digital Love', sanity meters and affection point tables all circulate. None trace to the game.
