Bachelorette video game: Play to find true love

You’ve been selected to enter the fantasy bubble of “The Bachelorette,” the dating show that has fans tuning in weekly to see the titular heroine hand out roses and try to find True Love™ among 31 men vying for her heart.

But life isn’t perfect even in the alternate world of reality TV. Male egos, drunken fights, drama — in this game you’ll need to avoid these toxic tropes and pick your own roses to free the Man of Your Dreams from his prison of heteronormativity and gender roles. But watch out! If you lose, the real world might just find its way in.

Need to escape reality a little longer? Sign up for The Most Dramatic Newsletter Ever for all the best Bachelorette news, commentary and behind-the-rose analysis.
