Sympathy Kiss Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Sympathy Kiss has a premise that asks you what is more important. Is it having a good career or a good love life? Great artwork that has a small blemish on it due to posing the main character without their face in all shots. It also has short bite-sized routes that let you play through a lot of the routes.

Step into the shoes of Akari Amasawa, the newest designer at the app developing company Estario. Upon receiving your first annual performance review, you are tasked with breathing new life into the company's flagship app: Estarci, which is under threat of closure within the next six months. While you don't dislike your job, you're not deeply passionate about it either. With up to 6 romanceable characters, perhaps passion lies elsewhere in the workplace.
If you’re a fan of beautiful artwork, good music, and good voice-acting, I would definitely pick this up. However, go into it with realistic expectations. The MC can be a bit bland and the writing can feel childish at times, but this isn’t to such an egregious point that you won’t be able to find enjoyment in the series as a whole. It also has great replayability with seven routes, each with multiple endings.
It’s good to see that Sympathy Kiss is strong on the technical end, it just didn’t click with me. If you’re a little more amenable to dealing with people at the office, you’ll be able to get through it quickly and easily. I’m more of the kind who wants to interact with as few people as possible in the run of a day.
