Singles: Flirt Up Your Life gives gamers one new apartment and two shy roommates to build a comfortable living space and a steamy relationship. If you play your cards right, or the roommates for that matter, you can take them from vacuuming in the living room in their underwear, to caressing in the bedroom without the hindrance of clothes at all.

Ultimately, players have the opportunity to create heaven on earth for these two lucky roommates.

Singles: Flirt Up Your Life is now available online as a downloadable demo on over 3,000 websites nationwide.
