A bishōjo game (美少女ゲーム bishōjo gēmu literally pretty girl game) or gal game (ギャルゲーム gyaru gēmu often shortened to galge) is a type of Japanese video game centered on interactions with attractive anime-style girls. These games are a sub-genre of dating sims targeted towards a heterosexual male audience.Bishōjo games are a uniquely Japanese phenomenon: they have virtually no equivalent in the Western video game industries but are similar to Choose Your Own Adventure books.
