Dating sims (or dating simulations) are a video game subgenre of simulation games, usually Japanese, with romantic elements. They are also sometimes put under the category of neoromance. The most common objective of dating sims is to date, usually choosing from among several characters, and to achieve a romantic relationship.
In a typical dating sim, the player controls a male avatar surrounded by female characters. The gameplay involves conversing with a selection of girls, attempting to increase their internal "love meter" through correct choices of dialogue. The game lasts for a fixed period of game time, such as one month or three years.

It's summer and I think you're going to America for Christmas, but you'd love to get a woman before then. Enter you're three buddies Kousuke the jock, Tetsuya the DJ, and Taizo the... nerd.

As in the first game in Refrain Love 2 the player is a new student in town, and he goes to live with other young students in a residence.
