Don't ask why but, on my usual check-in on the latest titles releasing on Steam, one new game positively popped off the page. Reader, welcome to Love Love Joe Biden: The Joe Biden Dating Simulator(opens in new tab).

So sometimes Joe falls asleep when you're talking to him, for example, or he'll repeat himself and stumble over words.
