Can anyone recommend a good dating sim that's available in English? I've been enjoying Princess Debut and I'd like to play others like it, but I'm new to the genre and don't know how to go about finding them. Specifically I'd like one where you play as a girl wooing guys.

I'm NOT looking for an H-game, so keep it PG-13, please.

I hope recommendations are allowed in this forum.

I've also been wondering about dating sim games, but I don't care if you are a guy or a girl.

I've heard good things about Yo-Jin-Bo; the Bodyguards. It's a game I've been hunting down, although it's technically classified as a "computer graphic novel" but it's a dating sim style game still, I believe.

Also, a good site for buying dating sims is JBox (and it's over 18 site, JList, for others who are curious), as well as other Japanese products. The games they sell are all in English, I believe.

There's some flash dating sims.

Like on nummyz.com

There's also Princess Maker series. The only one in English is the second one, and it's not an official translation because in the end they never released it. But it's still all in English. You raise a girl and there's over like 70 endings with different variations of each ending. And then there's who she ends up marrying or if she doesn't marrying. There's the main guys which include you the father(your not her real father), the dragon boy/prince, the human prince, Cube your faithful demon butler, and the Devil.

There's also the other marriages where the guys aren't really shown in the game except at the ending like..."Olive married a kind gentle wizard."

Also you get a score depending on how good a father you are and there's certain little touches like if she babysat a lot or tutored kids a lot she'd be a good mother. And I don't know the number but for certain people and the non main char boys she needs to have good morale to get married.

There's also an RPG element where you go in dungeons as the daughter.

Anyways the only other games I can suggest are at hanakogames.com

There's also some clean flash dating sims as well.

Oh there's Hourglass of Summer (NOT THE COMPUTER VERSION THO) and Day of Love. And Amusement Park.

Remember to get the interactive DVD versions NOT the PC versions.

Ever 17? I don't think it's much like a dating sim, but you end up trying to get an ending with one of the girls, so does that count? xD;

If not, I reccomend Clannad. It's been fan translated :3

I'm sorry I'm no help xD;
I'm only good with Visual Novels :<
