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.
