Horror game legend Ikumi Nakamura swaps her love of gore for true romance by helping dev use custom sidequest as real-life proposal: "Moments like this remind me how lucky I am"
Like so much of the lonely world, some lonely heart gamers may struggle to find a significant other — their duo, their twinblade swordsperson, so to speak — but don't let anyone tell you that gaming isn't romantic. The Evil Within artist and Unseen studio founder Ikumi Nakamura showed gaming's sensitive side recently by encouraging her employee to plan his real-life proposal inside the game he was working on.
"Never did I imagine directing not just the timing, but even the acting cues for a developer's marriage proposal!" Ikamura writes on Twitter.
Unseen's lead level designer, and now proud fiancé, Shane Canning came up with the idea first: propose to his girlfriend Makiko through the yokai hunter action game he's been creating, Kemuri. All he had to do was give it a special side quest and invite Makiko to "playtest" it.
Proposing in the game world @Zerocool1000 created: when the side quest becomes the main mission in KEMURI. Congratulations!
