Dating sims + Ones I suggests

I love dating sims to be honest! I really enjoyed playing them and finding ones that I ended up liking. It's unique, cool, and funny. I'll put a short description of everyone I played, and rank it on diversity(Could be sexual, race, or multiple characters), Spice, plot, uniqueness, and of course the MC.  I'll be rating it by circles. 5 circles are perfect! 0 stars mean I hated it! Games I'm working on I will not comment on. I'll put the average right next to the title Also, this is really really long! I might separate it into two tbh. I might do separate blogs on them.   I'm gonna do the first 13 and do the other over this weekend LOL.

(Early development)Arcana Twilight| 14/25

I can't remember the plot anymore. 

Diversity: ●●●◐◯ Good diversity of characters and looks. I am pretty sure that the Mc is called by she/her so it's hard to see their sexual orientation

Spice: ●●●◐◯ Though it is not outright spicy scenes, images with them looking down badly are nice. Plus half a point for having a switch and a submissive implied character

Plot: ●●●◯◯ The plot is okay. I don't remember much. 
Uniqueness: ●◯◯◯◯  It was clearly an Obey Me rip-off. It was janky and I think the only thing that was giving it this point was the pretty boys. 

MC: ●●●◯◯ MC was defiantly confused what's going on type. I felt confused every time I read a story. 

Blush Blush | 17/25 

You gave guys magical water that turned them into animals. You have to kiss them to turn them back to humans. An Idle dating sim.

Diversity: ●●●●◯  The characters though broad and clearly all bisexual, the characters to me don't have any clearly submissive characters. Plus one point for being able to gender bend and having no gender tags (You just called "Marshmellow")

Spice: ◐◯◯◯◯ There are implications and dirty jokes but unless you buy the DLC there are no spicy scenes. 

Plot: ●●◐◯◯ The plot moves slowly. It is only as fast as the character can progress. 

Uniqueness: ●●●●●  Turing animal boys, to furry, to human just to date them? Very unique

MC: ●●●●● The MC is a moldable character allowing for the person to fit any person 

 Bride of the Nightmare: Romance|17/25 

You go into a school full of demons as a maid. 3-4. One of the guys declared that he would give up his throne as head demon if a guy could make us fall in love with them. 3 people step up. And the 4th one is that if you don't date them you end up with the guy that started the bet. The only issue is that this game is grind-intensive and is very pay-to-win -2 points. 

Diversity: ●●●◯◯  It's the same 4 characters, your character can be a dom! The character shown above is actually the sub which i really enjoy.

Spice: ●●●●◐ This is a very spicy game, that has heavy scenes. 

Plot: ●●●●◯ The plot moves every time you play, plus I also enjoy the humour and things that go in every chapter.

Uniqueness: ●●◐◯◯  The incubus plot and it in general is very classic. Nothing more or less to me

MC: ●●●◯ ◯  The MC is a nonchalant character. She can either be a dom, switch, or sub depending on the character.

City of Love: Paris|20/25 

You go to Paris with your best friend for job opportunities and get more than you ever thought.  

Diversity: ●●●●◐ The characters not only have broad diversity but also amazing work to build depth in each character. They don't use gender-neutral pronouns, they just use she her. 

Spice: ◯◯◯◯◯ There was no spice from what I've seen/remember

Plot: ●●●●● The plot moves every time you play and make a decision. It always keeps you on your toes

Uniqueness:  ●●●●●   Though a simple plot they execute it in a way that makes you like characters that you hated at the beginning.  

MC: ●●●●●  The MC is a hard worker. But her other traits are based on you and your past choices.

Crush Crush|20/25 

You crush some girls' dreams, bones, or something else and you end up dating them by trying to get them to forgive you. An Idle dating sim. 

Diversity: ●●●●●  The characters though broad and clearly all bisexual, the characters to me have a broad spectrum of sub, switch, and dom. There are a lot of girls to. Plus one point for being able to gender bend and having no gender tags (You just called "Marshmellow")

Spice: ●●◐◯◯ There are implications and dirty jokes but unless you buy the DLC there are no spicy scenes. The mobile version is censored. If you want dirtier 

Plot: ●●◐◯◯ The plot moves slowly. It is only as fast as the character can progress. 

Uniqueness: ●●●●●  Crushing girls dreams and then helping her? Very unique

MC: ●●●●● The MC is a moldable character allowing for the person to fit any person 

Dangerous Fellows|12/25

The zombie apocalypse started and now you are stuck working with these people until you can get to the safe zone. Sadly if you want endings it's at times very pay to win. -2 points

Diversity: ●●◯◯◯ The characters are often seen again and again, though that's the point it gets irritating easily/

Spice: ◯◯◯◯◯ There is none. 

Plot: ●●●◐◯ The plot moves slowly. It is only as fast as the character can progress, I do say though that it is very interesting when you get into situations. 

Uniqueness: ●●●◐◯ Though it's a basic plot, not many have done the zombie idea. And they execute it well.

MC: ●●●◯ ◯  A very quiet person just trying to survive. She is sometimes strong, sometimes weak. 

Destined to love:Ikemen|12/25 

I can't remember the plot anymore. But I do remember we were running a restaurant. The English version is now gone, however, the Japanese vr is still alive. The only issue is that they are not being updated anymore. Like most Ikemen games (Games made under Cybird specifically) it is very grind/pay to win! Even with a good plot -2

Diversity: ●●●◐◯ Good diversity of characters and looks. I am pretty sure that the Mc is called by she/her so it's hard to see their sexual orientation

Spice:◯◯◯◯◯ There it is not outright spicy scenes,

Plot: ●●●◯◯ The plot is okay. I don't remember much. Changes according to the character
Uniqueness: ●●●◐◯  It's a nice Ikemen or Otome game????? I can't remember anymore. However, the characters had a good variety of backgrounds and characters.   

MC: ●●●●◯ MC was defiantly strong and stubborn but is willing to be weak. 

Doki Doki Literature club|19/25 

You join a literature with 4 girls with unique personalities? A secret horror game? 
Diversity: ●●●◐◯  I like the different personalities. The only issue is that you stick with them the whole game. If you go down the different routes different things happen which is nice.  For the extra depth, I give it plus 2! :D

Spice: ◐◯◯◯◯ There are implications of things. 

Plot: ●●●●● The plot though slow is very strong, deep, and good.

Uniqueness: ●●●●●  This game literally started a whole new era of dating sim

MC: ●●●◯◯ The MC is a moldable character but is clearly a guy. Other than that I do say that he is kinda boring, and only has a personality with the choices you make

Dream Daddy|22.5/25 

A single dad falling in love with other single dads, besides one, after moving into a new neighbourhood with your daughter. Things are going on, maybe a little mystery too. 

Diversity: ●●●●●  The characters though broad and implied all bisexual, show a good spectrum of personalities. It allows for unique dates, whether if it's something you like or not. Only male pronouns, but you can be canon trans if wanted. 

Spice: ●●●◐◯ There are implications and dirty jokes. Most of it is very implied but it's fun

Plot: ●●●●◯ The plot moves only as fast as the character can progress. The plot changes based on the character chosen.

Uniqueness: ●●●●●  Dating dads?? Very unique

MC: ●●●●● The MC is a moldable character allowing for the person to fit any person 

Error143|18/25 

A guy after hacking your account bullies you for being a sore loser at the hacking competitions. Now you need to outhack him while becoming his enemy, lover, or friend. 

Diversity: ●●◐◯◯  Though it's literally one character he goes through a good range of emotions that allow him to be likeable even if he is an awkward dork. He is definitely a switch.

Spice: ●●●◐◯ There are implications and dirty jokes. Most of it is very implied but it's fun. There are one or two spicey pictures but if you want more you need to go to the DLC

Plot: ●●●●◯ The plot moves only as fast as the character can progress, sometimes it feels drawn out. Though this is the beauty of it, dumb and awkward convos make it feel more real. 

Uniqueness: ●●●◐◯ I'll be honest I loved the colours the look and the voice acting. Though hacker love stories are used often, he isn't the stereotypical nerd look-alike with glasses. He has a cocky personality even with a dork personality

MC: ●●●●◐ The MC is a nonchalant and snarky person. They could be down bad, mean, and definitely blunt, but overall a teasing person. 

(Last Legacy) FictIF: Interactive Romance|15.5/25 

One day, accidentally, you get summoned by a guy trying to revive his dead girlfriend. Now on the path to go back to the present, you go with one of the 3 people to learn and help them grow. 

Diversity: ●●●◯◯  There are 3 characters with extremely opposing personalities. They allow for multiple pronouns so all can be bisexual. 

Spice: ●●◐◯◯ There are implications and dirty jokes. Most of it is very implied but it's fun.

Plot: ●●●●◯ The plot moves only as fast as the character can progress, the plot is really fun though. Good adventures with each character. going deep into their lore. 

Uniqueness: ●●●◐◯  I loved the colours the look and the voice acting. Its a unique look  

MC: ●●◐◯◯ I can't remember the Mc personality. i just remember they quick thinking, could be shy, and is often silent. 

Hell Taker|18.5/25 

One day... you crave for demon girls. So you go to hell to find them. This is a turn-based, puzzle, dating sim.

Diversity: ●●●●◐  Th multiple personalities re cool. You are a guy.

Spice: ●●●◐◯ There are implications and dirty jokes. Most of it is very implied but it's fun.

Plot: ●●◐◯ ◯ The plot moves only as fast as the character can progress, the plot is funny. 

Uniqueness: ●●●◐◯  I loved the colours and the look It's unique. Plus I haven't seen a bunch of turn-based puzzle dating sims.

MC: ●●●●◐ A mix of a serious guy and a serious horny guy. It's a perfect balance of course

(Demo) I Just Want To Be Single!|19.5/25 

You transfer to an all-girl school...and it's Valentine's day... for some reason, every girl is chasing after you trying to get your heart! You meet 5 girls with strong personalities and you need to convince them not to date you.. or they might just fall in love!

Diversity: ●●●●●  There are 5 characters with extremely opposing personalities. This is clearly a lesbian game, which I really enjoy cause you usually can't find them like that. 

Spice: ◯◯◯◯◯ What I saw in the demo, no sexual themes at all

Plot: ●●●●● The plot moves only as fast as the character can progress, the plot is funny. And honestly, it's cool depth and you learn a lot about each character. 

Uniqueness: ●●●●●  I loved the colours and the look It's unique. I also enjoyed that its a reversed dating sim

MC: ●●●●◐ It's just a girl who doesn't want to date anyone. I love that about her though. 

 Ikemen Cinderella|14.5/25

Just like Destined to Love, Ikemen Midnight was an early game Cybird made. Just like most cybrid games, its grind intensive and very pay-to-win -2

Diversity: ●●●◐◯ Good diversity of characters and looks. I am pretty sure that the Mc is called by she/her so it's hard to see their sexual orientation

Spice ●●●◐◯  There it is not outright spicy scenes, but I vividly remember how they would talk was very sexual especially when you get further in. It actually shocked me that it was this sexual honestly

Plot: ●●●◯◯ The plot is okay. You sneak in to steal a flower to save your mom and now you suddenly princess, it moves all too fast for me. 

Uniqueness: ●●◐◯ ◯  It's a nice Ikemen game and is based on Cinderella. I think this is what started the pattern of Cybird making their games off of fairy tails

MC: ●●●●◯ MC was defiantly strong and stubborn but I remember her getting a bit sensual

What I personally recommend from the ones featured and why

Error143: I love dorks. And he's a big one

Hell Taker: I loved the puzzles, some get extremely hard though. So it's a nice challenge
