Abstract
Today I’ll talk about Dating Sims, a game genre with little traction in mainstream Western games but well known in Japan. I’ll present what a Dating Sim is, how you play, how you win, and cool features of some games I have played. I’ll also discuss how Adult games figure into Dating Sims and related genre.
