Amnesia: Memories

Go On Dates While Recovering Lost Memories

Amnesia: Memories has a fascinating cast, and the game sports some truly impressive aesthetics. Idea Factory developed and published it, and you can find it on platforms other than just mobile. But there’s no reason not to snag it for your smartphone if that’s your preference; it runs like a charm.

As you might have guessed, the heroine has amnesia. She must rely upon five strange men to piece her life back together. That sounds dubious on paper, but the dudes are all good in their own way.

Great LGBTQ+ Representation

LongStory is one of the few LGBTQ+ friendly dating sims. It even allows you to choose your pronouns when you start the game. The story is set at Weasel Heights Middle School, with the romantic options including many of your friends. It has been praised for its cute story and relatable characters.

The characters are younger, since the story is set in middle school, so it’s rife with awkward moments and humor. The game begins with a mystery as you learn the previous owner of your locker has disappeared. It’s up to you if you want to find out what happened.

13

Ikemen Vampire: Temptation In The Dark

Romance Vampire Shakespeare

11

The Arcana: Mystic Romance

Love With A Hint Of Mystery

The Arcana: Mystic Romance ties otome visual novel fun with a mysterious plot involving the 22 fabled arcana for an experience not entirely akin to any other game here. While the central focus is, of course, about the protagonist’s romantic fate, it’s important to go into the game understanding that every other character’s destinies are intrinsically linked to the decisions you make along the way.

Vesuvia, The Arcana’s setting, features a Mediterranean vibe befitting its nomenclature. The Vesuvian city-state is a thriving artistic destination bursting with intrigue. A perfect spot for a bit of narrative seduction.

Mystic Messenger

Real-Time Romance

Mystic Messenger is a Korean mobile romance game with an English translation. The main character stumbles upon an app that lets them interact with the members of a group known as the RFA. You get to interact with the characters through chats, texts, and phone calls (fully voiced in Korean).

Chatrooms and phone calls work in real-time, meaning they call or message you throughout the day. This also means that it’s possible to miss a conversation, but thankfully, the game is set over the course of a little over a week, so it won’t last forever.

5

Lovestruck

Engaging, Straightforward Fun

Lovestruck has over a dozen series that you can play through, including two short stories called Lovestruck Shorts. Lovestruck has many unique characters and is one of the most inclusive mobile dating games out there.

There seem to be no “chemistry checkpoints” that typically affect the kind of ending you get, which will appeal to people who want a good and straightforward romance story.
