In short

  • What it is: a beach-town dating sim where chats, gifts and dates are resolved on a match-3 board.
  • Who it's for: casual puzzle fans who like short sessions; not for players who hate energy meters.
  • Price: free to play with in-game purchases; Steam sells five character packs at $19.99 each (regular price, September 2026).
  • Status and platforms: live service with frequent events; browser, Windows, Mac and Android.
  • Big pro / big con: an easy, well-voiced puzzle loop, but Steam reviews are Mixed and the energy meter cuts sessions short.

What is Booty Calls?

The Booty Calls game is developed by 3X Entertainment Limited and published by Nutaku Publishing. It launched on Nutaku on November 14, 2017 and arrived on Steam on September 18, 2018. It is one of the older live-service games on the portal, and it still gets new events every few days.

The premise is a fairy-tale joke. A mermaid princess, Andriella, makes a deal with a sea witch to become human, and the first man she meets has to help her. Together you explore the locations of "Naughty Beach" and date the women who live there. Steam states that all characters are of age, and the cast also includes a few real adult performers as paid characters.

How to play Booty Calls in a browser

  1. Open the Nutaku page for the game on nutaku.net.
  2. Sign up or log in. Nutaku requires an account and confirmation that you are 18 or older.
  3. Play in the tab, on a desktop or a phone. Nutaku also marks it iOS compatible, which means the mobile browser.

Gameplay

You move around a map of beach-town locations, meet characters, chat with them, hand out gifts and take them on dates. Dates are the puzzle part.

The town map: characters wait at the Juicy Bar, the beach, the cafe and the mall, with timers showing when locations refresh

The loop

  • Match-3 dates. Each date is a board of coloured tokens. Clearing matches fills the progress bar; you win by hitting the target before you run out of moves.
  • Items that change the board. Items you buy or unlock can influence the puzzle results, so your inventory becomes part of the strategy.
  • Chats and gifts. Conversations offer multiple replies, and gifts raise affection between dates. Steam lists hundreds of items to buy, unlock and give.
  • Skill tree. Upgrades improve your dating stats over time.
  • Outfits. Hundreds of outfits and accessories to customize the characters.

Energy and pacing

Actions use an energy meter that runs out and refills over time. Nutaku's own description jokes that your energy will run out as you interact with the characters, and it does, quickly. Once it is empty you wait, or pay to continue. This is the biggest limit on how long a session lasts.

Our take: the puzzles are simpler than HuniePop's free-movement match-3, and the energy system means you rarely get to settle in. As a five-minute game on a phone it works fine.

Main features

  • Match-3 puzzle dates with items that affect the board
  • Dozens of characters with their own personalities, and more added over time
  • Voiced dialogue: Steam lists full audio in English and Japanese
  • Five languages: English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese
  • Skill tree, gifts and hundreds of outfits and accessories
  • Steam features: 30 achievements and Family Sharing

Visual style

Bright anime-style 2D art on a purple and pink phone-style interface, with a small 3D-looking town map. It is designed for a portrait phone screen, which is why the Steam and desktop versions look like a phone window in the middle of a wider background. The requirements are tiny: 2 GB of RAM and 500 MB of storage on Windows.

Is Booty Calls free?

Yes, on every platform. The costs are the in-game purchases (Nutaku Gold on the portal) and, on Steam, optional character packs. Here are the Booty Calls DLC packs on Steam at regular price, September 2026:

Character packPriceReleased
Eve Pack$19.99Jul 27, 2021
Eva Elfie$19.99Sep 27, 2021
Miyu Pack$19.99Oct 22, 2021
Lulu Furry Pack$19.99Nov 15, 2021
Sweetie Fox Pack$19.99Feb 9, 2025

Two of the packs (Eva Elfie and Sweetie Fox) are real adult performers. None is needed to play the main game. $19.99 per character is steep next to the base price of zero, and players often complain about paywalled content in Steam reviews.

So the Booty Calls Mac question has a simple answer: yes, natively, from Steam or Nutaku. Our Mac guide covers the general setup.

Is Booty Calls safe?

From Steam or Nutaku, yes. Get the Android APK only from the Nutaku page, and ignore "unlocked" or "mod APK" versions elsewhere: they are unknown files, and the official game is already free. Our explainer on whether Steam adult games are safe has more detail.

Booty Calls events and updates

There is no version number. Instead, the studio runs themed events, and in September 2026 its Steam news posted a new one roughly every five days, the latest on September 25. Events add limited rewards and outfits, and they are the main reason to log in regularly.
