Sprung, released for the Nintendo DS in 2004, is a dating simulation game that contrasts from typical role-playing games. Players navigate through the game as one of two characters, Brett or Becky, with the primary goal of successfully wooing their prospective love interests through various conversational scenarios. Presented in a unique dialogue-driven format, Sprung utilizes the DS's touchscreen to select options and engage with characters. Though it received mixed reviews, it remains a unique entry into the DS library for its focus on social interaction and dating rather than action or strategy.
