I think Obscura meant where the characters' ages were all over 60 years old. ;)

Though a dating MMORPG would be absolutely hilarious.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to play god. Have an apartment block where you're a ghost and you try to get people together or rip them apart (if you're a vicious ghost you could have someone step into the elevator shaft and fall six floors - splat).

What about a game where the protagonist were a lesbian? even so, she is forced to date guys, and the good ending could be that she manage to get his sisters, ex lovers or the mothers of the guys she is dating

Peapodprincess beat me to it! And the personality of each element is based on its properties.

A game where you cheat and try to juggle the relationship.
Or a game where you're actually trying to slowly break down the relationship to the point of a breakup, and if you don't break it down enough, he publicly proposes to you (therefore you feel scared to reject him publicly, and say yes).
What's in a loop? A loop iterated in any other way would output as sweet.

Have a look at my GxG kinetic novel, Movement, if you have the chance?

School Days?

If you're lucky, a wild Yandere chick just might jump from the building head first onto a rock, and spatter all over the place! :D

Let's say the main character has to appease (or at least humor) someone in her family by dating men. But she's surprised to learn things about the two guys that she meets. One's a transman, and the other is a woman who's a cross-dresser. Unfortunately, this setup might rely too much on coincidence...

Also, consider a VN in which the main character only interacts with lesbian heroines. It could be an example of a story where a guy needs to learn to be friends with women. Maybe, just maybe, he will get a sex change operation in order to become closer to one of them. Will that lead to a positive ending?

following on those who are interested, here's my recent Facebook status about it.
redacted

This was originally a "Dating" as in Dating (knowing what time period) related idea but then boom it turned out to what it is now.

There's just too many ideas to name. All are obscure at the moment. Just moefying inanimate things isn't gonna cut it out.
