Dating simulations are a massively popular form of gaming in Japan, and they’ve slowly made their way over to the U.S. Most of these games focus on the minutia of dating, from flirting to sex. Of course, not everyone is looking for a cute boy with abs. Sometimes you want a cute boy with a tight muscular body, four legs, and flowing tail. Sometimes you want a horse with a boy’s face.

For those times, you need My Horse Prince.

My Horse Prince is a choose-your-own-adventure game that’s just made its way to the U.S. via the Google and iOS stores. It puts you in the saddle of a young woman, standing in front of a horseman, trying to make him love her. 

Of course, it’s not so simple. You own the horse. The horse knows it’s a horse. You need to feed him like a horse. He just so happens also to have a dreamboat face and the ability to woo your heart.

It’s up to you to keep the horse happy and alive. Whether you fall in love, well, that’s up to you.

Players have been filling Twitter with their experiences within the game, and they’re about as strange as you’d expect from a game about falling in love with a horse.

After spending some time with the game today, there’s really no way to describe the odd sense of satisfaction that comes from flirting with a horseman. Even in the weird, wild world of Japanese dating sims, there’s almost nothing like this game. If you’ve been wondering how you’re going to get through the holiday season at your parents house, maybe consider escaping to the ranch. Perhaps you’ll find some love.
