Life Simulation RPGs

a collection by Stepnix · last updated 2025-09-27 06:12:21

Dating sims, raising sims, and other "social simulation" games. Common elements include stat management for the protagonist and turn-based schedule management. The stat systems can resemble other RPGs, but govern interactions beyond combat (or exclude distinct combat phases completely).
