Games with Dating

Group Description

Included in the group are games in which the protagonist is dating/courting other characters with romantic intentions, choosing his attitude towards the character in either actions or dialogue choices.

In order to be part of this group, dating has to be a gameplay element. It doesn't have to be the main gameplay element (such as in Japanese "dating sim" games), but there must be at least some gameplay-related choices concerning a romantic relationship.

Games that only feature dating as a story-related element are not included, if there are no dating gameplay mechanics present. Thus, Leisure Suit Larry or many Japanese linear adventure games can not be part of this group, even though their stories may focus on dating, because the player has no dating-related choices in those games; but many "visual novels" with multiple choice do qualify for this group.

Also not qualified are games in which the protagonist seduces women through purely physical actions (such as many sex games by Illusion).
