dating simulator

Virtual courtship software

A dating simulator is a video game genre focused on developing romantic relationships with characters, typically through dialogue choices and scripted interactions.

Players navigate conversations and scenarios to win a character's affection, often unlocking different storylines or endings based on their choices.

The genre originated in Japan and ranges from wholesome romance to explicit adult content: I spent the whole weekend playing that new dating sim.
