Our take on C14 Dating
The archaeology premise receives prominent attention, but the core format is an otome dating sim. Excavation is presented as optional gameplay, so the archaeological setting does not indicate a full archaeology-focused simulation.
What is C14 Dating?
C14 Dating follows Melissa Flores, a third-year anthropology student from California who travels to Belgium for a two-month summer archaeological internship.
At an authentic prehistoric site, she can excavate locations connected to past Neanderthal discoveries and search for early human bones and tools. The game combines dating-sim interactions with friendships, romance, and optional archaeology minigames. Melissa can pursue relationships with Deandre, Hendrik, Kyler, or Shoji while experiencing life in an unfamiliar country. The presentation uses manga-style artwork and an original soundtrack, with a cast described as distinct characters.
