Dating sims (or dating simulations) are a video game subgenre of simulation games, usually Japanese, with romantic elements. The most common objective of dating sims is to date, usually choosing from among several characters, and to achieve a romantic relationship.
Either prominently containing or entirely themed around romance, this genre is typically focused on interpersonal romantic relationships between characters and the player.
Games and other work with voice acting includes vocal performances of a character's or narrator's written dialogue. This is usually done to help immerse audiences and enhance the quality of the written text.
