Plot
Akari Amasawa, a designer for the mobile app company Estario, is suddenly asked to join another department to relaunch Estarci, the company's namesake and its worst-performing app. The Estarci planning department includes some of the company's most talented men, and Akari is set to work in a pair with a coworker of her choice.
Gameplay
As Sympathy Kiss is a visual novel, gameplay consists of reading dialogue and making choices. Certain choices affect the protagonist's work-life balance, determining whether the player sees a Work End, a Love End, or a third ending that balances work and love. Some choices are made through the Emotion Select system, where the player chooses a reaction using a face symbol instead of traditional dialogue choices.[1]
