About the Game

Hand-Holding Simulator is a game about maximizing your love. You will curate Affirmations to reinforce your relationship, commit Acts of Service as they appear, and spend Quality Time to get the most out of every moment. Eventually you'll be able to afford Gifts for your partner, and they'll be able to express themselves as they please.

This incremental idle game is designed to offer more variance than others in the genre. As you collect Affirmations randomly, you'll have to make decisions about which ones are worth holding on to. Affirmations have a wide range of effects, and you'll need to find ways for them to work together.

Acts of Service are popups that appear on screen and provide large benefits on their completion. Failing an Act of Service has negative consequences, so you'll need to sacrifice valuable hand-holding time to get them done. You can purchase higher levels of these Acts, which improves their benefits and minimizes their harm.

Once you've collected enough love, you can buy your partner Gifts. These are displayed beautifully on them, and you can dress them up as you'd like. Each Gift also has a passive effect that will be applied on purchase, making future progression easier.

All of this takes away from the most important piece of the puzzle: Holding Hands. The longer you hold, the more love you earn. Hand-Holding Simulator is capable of handling numbers up to 1 x 10^1000, so you will certainly find fulfillment somewhere along the way.
