XOXO Droplets

XOXO Droplets is a free-to-play dating sim about a student trying to keep her place at her dream boarding school while pursuing relationships with boys in her afterschool group. The protagonist, whose name you choose, transfers there at the start of her junior year. Her parents will let her stay for her remaining two years only if she stops shunning everyone, so you balance showing enough interest in other students to satisfy them with chasing the guys she finds attractive. The protagonist and main love interests are all deliberately difficult people.

Dating and reputation

You can pursue three main boyfriends: Everett Gray, Nate Lawson and Shiloh Fields. Six side characters can become your buddies, and six minor clique members are also available as boyfriend options; each has a bonus effect that makes the game easier. You can break up with a boyfriend and start dating someone else.

The game includes several ways to manage your reputation with the other students. You can take part-time jobs, visit stores, use helpful items, play optional mini-games and call a guy on the in-game phone to arrange a date at one of several locations.
