News::New Dating Sim Follows Time-Tested Story Blueprint of Boy Meets Alpaca

A genre many people have a harder time wrapping their heads around, though, is the dating simulator. Sure, driving games like Gran Turismo let us tune and race cars so expensive we cant even talk the dealer into giving us a test drive in real life. And while Japan does have a royal family with princesses, the countrys lack of fire-breathing dragons means our chances of having to pick up sword and shield to go rescue them are slim, at best. But a game about going on dates? Couldnt we just, like, ask someone out in real life? Apparently some developers feel the same way, and have decided to spice up their dating sims with scenarios that take full advantage of video games unique style of escapism.
