Sympathy Kiss - Nintendo Switch - Idea Factory International

Balance love and career in a modern-day workplace romance visual novel where every choice counts.

Step into the shoes of Akari Amasawa, the newest designer at Estario, an app development company in Japan. After your first annual review, you’re assigned to revitalize Estario’s struggling news app, Estarci, before it shuts down. As you join a new department and navigate office politics, you’ll also encounter potential romance—can you save the app and find love along the way?

Work with up to six romanceable characters and experience the day-to-day of a contemporary office from a Japanese career woman’s perspective. Keep in touch using the in-game RiNG system—respond to texts and take fully voiced calls from your favorite love interests. Express yourself with the Emotion Select system by choosing from five feelings—Happy, Angry, Troubled, Sad, or Indifferent—to influence future conversations. Balance your ambitions with the Love/Work system by earning Work Points or Love Points based on your decisions, shaping your route and ending.

Enjoy English in-game text with Japanese voice acting. On Nintendo Switch, play solo in TV, Tabletop, or Handheld mode, with Nintendo Switch Pro Controller support. The physical release arrives on a game cartridge and is region-free.

Begin your story on Nintendo Switch and see where your heart—and career—take you.
