Synopsis

Dating simulations are a subgenre of video game simulations, usually Japanese, with romantic elements. They are sometimes also placed in the category of neo-romances. The term "dating sim" is also often used in English as a generic term for romance-based games (ren'ai games), a subject that is stereotypically associated with the visual novel genre. This can be confusing, as visual novels are considered a subgenre of adventure games and are not technically included in the dating sim genre. Although the two genres often share a common visual presentation, dating sims are sometimes considered more statistically based than the "choose your own adventure" style of visual novels.
