This Company Offers You the Chance to Marry a Digital Man

Voltage lets users download its avatars, created for smartphone, in batches of eight to 20 in Kings of Paradise. Yuzi Tsutani, president of the company, calls his game a ‘romance application’. In concrete terms, after downloading the app, various different profiles are available. The first episode is free and allows the user to make choices. ‘Select your favourite handsome man, then experience a perfect love story in which you are the heroine’, the company declares on its website. The continuation of the story is behind a paywall, and over the course of fifteen episodes, users follow the adventures of this character. If you choose a ninja, you’ll be obliged to become a spy; if you select a student, you’ll accompany him to sporting events; and if you go for a yakuza, you’ll follow him to some dangerous areas.

An adventure with the feel of a puzzle

Whether narcissistic, childish, foppish, or creepy, all of these handsome men are surrounded by intrigue. From this angle, the game becomes more like a puzzle. Even if marriage lies at the end of the story, nothing is simple. Voltage has already enjoyed huge success, boasting over 60 million users from all over the world in 2018. Each new season brings with it new settings and characters, providing all the material for a long-term romance.

More information on the app can be found on Voltage’s website.
