Why it matters
A Slovak indie studio is turning the 2015 removal of the Pont des Arts padlocks into a co-op cleanup sim, and the 800,000 yen wedding prize puts real money behind a post-launch race rather than leaving it as a leaderboard.

The cleanup sim tasks players with removing 100,000 love padlocks from a bridge over the Seine in Paris, fishing the thrown-away keys out of the river with a magnet-equipped drone. Online co-op supports up to five players, and a post-launch time-attack race carries a real wedding worth 800,000 yen as the winner's prize.
The bridge in the game is modeled on the Pont des Arts, where padlocks left by couples were removed in 2015 after part of the wire mesh collapsed in 2014. According to the City of Paris, the load had reached about 45 tons, and acrylic panels now block new locks.
In Love Locks, players run a magnet-equipped drone over the Seine to recover the keys lovers threw into the river, then match each key to its padlock. Collected metal unlocks stronger tools: saws, bolt cutters, shotguns, and lasers. At 100 kg, a cleanup robot called Expendabot becomes available and can be assigned to a section of the bridge and upgraded.
