If you are wapanese and ronery or can't get laid no matter what you do, this is the pointless cure for you! A dating sim is a video game which allows you to have relationships with anime girls who wouldn't look at you on the street. Many people who play these sort of games are said to have absolutely no life and some of them actually think situations such as those depicted in the game can really be true. A lot of free Dating Sims can be found in such sites as Newgrounds, although one must remember that playing one dating sim is considered research. After that it's plain faggotry.

Hentai Games

Just like dating sims but with some kind of reward. Beware that even Hentai Games can start a Wapanizing process.

Gameplay

Many dating games play similarly to how you read those Choose Your Own Adventure books when you were a kid, except that they're incredibly more slow-paced; after spending half an hour clicking through text as the protagonist inanely self-narrating his morning, you'll be prompted to decide whether he should buy a bento for lunch, or eat in the cafeteria instead. Your decision will be rewarded with another half hour of clicking through text - it's enough to give you a repetitive stress injury. Some argue that another significant difference between dating sims and Choose Your Own Adventure books is that you can pretend to fuck a hollow character cliche of a girl upon successful completion of a dating sim; however, technically speaking, nothing is stopping you from doing that with your favorite books from your childhood as well.

It is still unknown who had the dreadful idea of creating those kind of games. On the other hand, it's good for him, as there's thousands of people who would kill/rape/torture (in whatever order) him if he ever publicly announced he is the evil mastermind behind that horror. Dating sims have a really special kind of gameplay, even more tedious, repetitive and boring than most MMORPGs. It's special, as it is the first kind of game that is not FUN. Even a Halo marathon will produce more lulz than playing a dating sim.

Picture yourself a game, made of:

  • a bland interface (load/save/exit this piece of crap)
  • a textbox
  • a background (99% of backgrounds in dating sims are more or less empty classrooms)
  • one or more un-animated character sprites, supposed to represent the imaginary friends you're talking to.
  • and, in the case you're playing a hentaï dating sim, after over 9000 hours of boring gameplay, a short sex scene, made of 3 slightly different images depicting your act of loli raep
  • That's all folks.

Now, it explains why, with such low costs of production, there's over 9000 dating sims, and why they all look the same.
