This does leave me wondering. Whatever is a dating sim anyway?
badp, Dr.
A decision tree where you win when you hit the "ZOMG ROMANTIC FRENCH KISS" leaf.
Arda Xi
That sounds unfun.
badp, Dr.
That's where most dating sims stop and where... other games start.
Mana
Pretty much. Also you're surrounded by a harem of girls or guys.
badp, Dr.
The middle ground isn't very interesting.

They all like you. A lot.
It's very good for one's moral, usually.
Arda Xi
@Mana Hmm, those Japanese thingies do have a thing for counter-realism, don't they?
Mana
Maybe for you. :D
badp, Dr.
Typically you just moved in, so they haven't had the chance of knowing you.
Arda Xi
@Mana That's a compliment to me :)
@badpDr Oh, that explains it.
badp, Dr.
I guess the game teaches you how to lie from start to end

There's the rare occasional scenario where they all have actually just moved in with you
because they think they're your twins/their dad is a demon overlord who wants them to marry/you own an onsen
not even kidding right now those are all Actual Dating Game Scenarios(tm)
Arda Xi
Oh wow.
