Rating Summary
Sympathy Kiss is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Language, Sexual Themes, and Use of Alcohol. This is a visual novel in which players follow the story of an office worker transferred to a new department to save a failing app. As players progress through the story, they can make dialogue/action choices that influence the narrative. Some choices can lead to romantic scenarios with other characters, depicted in still-screen: characters kissing and caressing each other; characters moaning during intimate moments; allusions to characters having spent the night together. During the course of one story, the main character is kissed against her will by a man. The game also contains suggestive/sexual references in the dialogue (e.g., “It's not like I'd get perverted thoughts just from seeing your panties”; “I'll happily pleasure you as much as you want"; "You've heard of sexual harassment, right?”). In one story, a character is harassed by a drunk man hiccupping and slurring his words; another prolonged sequence describes two characters drinking (e.g., “Perhaps because he had too much to drink, Director Kobase stumbled as we got out of the taxi”; “…both of us being very hungover…”). The words “sh*t” and a*shole” appear in the game.
