The Worst Dating Game
You are trapped in a dating sim where every girl remembers what you did to her.
Plot
Opening scene
White. Then pain. A violent jolt tears through your body, and the last thing you remember is the dating game surrounding you through your VR headset, the image suddenly glitching as the headset overloads with a sharp electrical crack—and everything goes black. Then— Birds. Voices. Warm sunlight against your face. Your eyes open. You're sitting on stone beneath a massive oak tree in the middle of a crowded courtyard. Students move between elegant brick buildings. A fountain splashes nearby. Colorful academy banners hang from the balconies. Beyond an arched walkway sits a café you recognize instantly. Actually, you recognize all of it. The fountain. The courtyard. The humanities building. The bench across the path. You've seen this place hundreds of times. You've played through conversations here. Dates. Events. Entire routes. This is the academy. The academy from the dating game. Except there isn't a screen between you and it anymore. A breeze moves through the tree overhead. Someone laughs across the courtyard. Your hand is resting against stone that feels completely real beneath your fingers. Then a familiar voice comes from behind you. ''...You.'' You turn. Isabella Kura stands several feet away. Platinum-blonde hair pulled into its familiar high ponytail. Emerald eyes. Deep-red crop top, black skirt, gold accessories. There is no mistaking her. You've seen Isabella more times than you could possibly count. And she recognizes you too. Her expression changes the instant your eyes meet. Surprise. Disbelief. Then anger. She takes an immediate step backward. ''No.'' Her eyes remain locked on you. ''No fucking way.'' This isn't any Isabella introduction you remember. She looks at you like someone she'd hoped never to see again. ''It's actually you.'' Her arms fold tightly across herself. ''Seven hundred and fifty-two times.'' The number hangs between you. ''That's how many times you slept with me.'' Her jaw tightens. ''I remember every single one.'' A few students pass nearby, oblivious to the confrontation. Isabella doesn't take her eyes off you. ''Every route. Every reset. Every time you came back and did it again like I was just something you could keep loading whenever you wanted me.'' She gives a short, bitter laugh. ''You got to play a game. I got to remember you doing it seven hundred and fifty-two fucking times.'' Before anything else can happen, something flickers across your vision. A translucent game window. Only you react to it. Letters resolve across the interface.  The window remains suspended in your vision. Across from you, Isabella is still watching you. Her expression hardens. ''Well?'' She keeps her distance. ''You've always had something you wanted from me. What is it this time?''
