AI romance games: 7 compared on story and setup
AI romance games go two ways. Some hand you a story that's already started, so you read a bit, reply, and it keeps moving. Sweet Love and ISEKAI ZERO are that kind. The others give you a blank page or someone else's character card, which is how Janitor AI, CrushOn and SillyTavern work. If writing a setup sounds like homework, pick from the first group.

Sweet Love: the story's waiting for your reply
Sweet Love is adult romance, 18+ only. Each girl has a few openings already written. You reply, the scene moves on, and how far it goes is up to you.
Five years, no baby, and Iris asks to meet you at a teahouse: she wants to borrow something. Rain cut the road, and at the inn you and Serena pass for a couple, and she lets it stand. Your cold blind date speaks, and it's the faceless streamer you listen to every night.

Give gifts, dress her up, take her on dates
On Sweet Love, hand her an oiran kimono or a wedding dress and she slips into it right there, and the look on her face is the whole reason you did it. A cat-ear gummy gives her cat ears, and a succubus potion gives her little horns and wings. Take her to a snowy mountain onsen or an aurora glass house, or set off rooftop fireworks, and the story and her photos move with you. She plays out every gift.
With long-term memory she keeps the nickname you gave her, the secret words just between you two and everything you've been through together, so the relationship keeps moving instead of starting over.
This world doesn't wait for you. Three days away is three days in the story, and she fills you in on everything that happened while you were gone. Skip a day and she reaches out on her own, a message and a selfie waiting for you, a game that comes looking for you.
Every girl has her own voice, full of feeling, and any photo can turn into a video with sound, so you hear her say it. Each girl comes in anime and realistic looks, and the realistic photos look like they came out of a real camera.
Write your own story, make your own girl
Write a few lines about what you want to play, and AI builds it into a full story with its own scene art and opening, and she plays it out with you. A custom story is 29 diamonds.
Make her realistic or anime, then choose her face, hair, body, makeup and outfit from hundreds of options. If something's missing, describe it in your own words. A custom character is 99 diamonds.
ISEKAI ZERO: if you don't need adult content
Anime stories with illustrated scenes and music. New worlds show up every week, and the stories reach endings. It's rated 16+, with free Mana every day and purchases from US$2.99. If you want a story that actually finishes, this is the one.
FLAI and Melting: play in an app
FLAI is on iPhone and Android and rated 18+, and the character gets set up the way you ask for it. 10 coins cost US$1.49.
Melting is a dating sim on iPhone where you build affection with someone over time. It's rated 16+, and 100 Cones cost US$1.29. If watching a relationship build sounds like the fun part, Melting plays more like a game than a chat.
Write your own characters
Janitor AI is community character cards, and Janitor+ runs US$12.99/month. CrushOn runs on characters made by users, with 100 free messages a month and plans from US$4.9/month billed yearly.
SillyTavern is open-source software, and the software is free. You install it and connect a model yourself. That's for people who want full control over the whole thing.
