Based originally on an April Fools' prank, it should be no surprise that this game does not take itself seriously in any way, shape, or form. Hatoful Boyfriend is a visual novel-style game, where all the characters besides the protagonist are birds. That's right: The goal of this dating sim is to find a sapient bird to court and fall in love with.

Hatoful Boyfriend is a great game for those who are looking for a lighter take on love this holiday season. This game has high replay value and is incredibly well written for the absurd topic that it covers. The lore of this silly bird dating sim is surprisingly deep and shockingly dark. In other words,

Passion explodes from every scene of this game, and it feels more like a strikingly dramatic Hallmark movie than a dating simulator.

From the minds who brought you Game Grumps comes this heartwarming visual novel that breaks all the rules.  Typically, dating sims are about a young boy who has been thrust into the arms of several girls who vie for his attention.

Game Grumps flipped this theme on its head, putting the player in control of a lonely single father who just moved into a new town and is looking for love... in the arms of one of the other local dads! This LGBTQ+ friendly adventure will warm your heart and give you a few laughs along the way.

Stardew Valley

This game is far more than a farming simulator. Stardew Valley follows you, a burnt-out office drone, who moves to the countryside to take over their late grandfather's farm.  The village of Stardew is tiny, with only about 40 inhabitants.

Upon arrival, however, she finds that the horse there has the face of an attractive man. Only the face.  She is apparently the only one who sees the horse this way, and it is in all other respects a normal horse. Long story short, she adopts the animal, and they enter races together to earn a new living.

NieR: Automata

To love is to be human... or is it? NieR: Automata's story takes a hard look at this philosophical question.  This game follows the travels of androids 2B and 9S on the bombed-out ruins of Earth, far into the future. In this timeline, every last human died long ago, and only robots remain to inhabit the ruins of Earth.

2B and 9S encounter robots who have been left alone for centuries and have developed their own little societies and even families. As the game progresses it becomes more obvious that the robots are capable of displaying emotions, and even that 2B and 9S are developing them too - for each other.

Some characters have beef with one another, which means you can't hook up with both on the same playthrough. This in no way means that you are limited to a single partner for the night though. So break out the breath mints and your best pickup lines, because you only have one night to find a hookup.

The game allows the main character to choose their gender and pronouns, leading to a much more relatable courting experience.  Another draw to the game is that it supports up to four-person multiplayer, so you can drag your friends or real-life partner to the mix with you.

To The Moon is a beautifully painful RPG where the player controls both the sharp-witted Eva Rosalene and the lovingly bumbling Neil Watts. They are doctors who work for what is essentially a reverse Make-A-Wish Foundation. They have to make the final wish of a dying person come true. There is a catch though.
