This interview describes a kind of love triangle between a wife, her husband, and a dating simulation's lead character. There's some interesting uncanny valley erotics, interesting for general Infocultish purposes.
But things turn dark as the discussion proceeds. For example,
Q: So what is your Love Plus girlfriend doing now?
Koh [husband]: I'm too scared to find out. I'm probably going to get in big trouble if I open it after leaving her alone for several weeks. Maybe she's dead now. That would be scary.
The dating sim goes Gothic! But before you can hum "Annabel Lee," consider the wife's view:
Koh: ...remember Tamagochi? They used to die if you didn't feed them.
Yurie [wife]: Oh yeah. That would be kind of bittersweet.
Bittersweet? Oh yeah.
