I don't want to brag or anything, but man, we are on fire lately. Last week we permanently changed the world of kissing- and liquid-based middleware with Love on the Rocks. This week, we're combining the worlds of edutainment and eroge with 50 First States, a game that lets you romance — to completion — every single state in this beautiful nation of ours.
As if that weren't enough, we're joined by Giant Bomb's Austin Walker, noted visual novel enthusiast, who helps us turn this game from a decent idea into one of the most perfect pieces of fandom-bait ever constructed.

This week's idea (and game title!) comes from @aidangs on Twitter:
@coolgamesinc a dating sim where each character is a personification of a US state
