Video game romance was once a fairly binary affair. Players fought their way through the final stage, defeated the boss, and then finally rescued the princess. However, as the medium has matured, so too have the digital relationships that can be found scattered throughout it. The rise of narrative-driven video games has allowed developers to explore much more complex couples, while franchises like Mass Effect, Baldur's Gate, and The Witcher take things one step further by allowing players to choose which romantic relationships they want to pursue.
