It’s a game that forces you to ask: Are you playing to win? Or are you playing to feel something real—even if it hurts?
And it is not a game about finding love. It is a game about surviving it. You wake up in a minimalist apartment. The only item on your bedside table is a heart monitor that reads “BPM: 68.” A text notification flashes on your phone: “Hey. You up?” love sick simulator

The name attached is your "Love Interest" (LI). You don’t remember their face. You don’t remember how you met. All you know is that your heart rate spikes whenever you see their name. It is a game about surviving it
