Dating Sim
Short for “dating simulation”, a dating sim is a video‑game subgenre that simulates romantic relationships. Players take on the role of a protagonist who meets and interacts with one or more potential partners (also known as potential waifus) through dialogue choices, events, and sometimes mini‑games. Outcomes vary based on the player’s decisions—leading to multiple endings such as romance, friendship, or breakup. The genre emphasizes narrative, character development, and replayability rather than action or skill-based gameplay.
