Jala has to face the music. After her latest breakup, she realises the way she has treated most of her romantic partners ranges from noncommittal to potentially cruel. She returns to her small-town home of Timber Hills in an attempt to make amends, which is easier said than done. As soon as she enters the local diner, Jala meets her middle-school ex, Sergio, who challenges her to a fight in order to win her back.
Thirsty Suitors lives up to its name. Over the course of the game, Jala, a second-generation Indian immigrant in her 20s, fights her exes, most of whom are definitely still thirsty for her. By using combat as a way for two people to talk honestly about their feelings, Jala’s adventure manages to pack a lot of interesting questions into what is basically a row of very silly battles.
