About a year into your job as a designer at Estario — a mobile app company — you are pulled from your regular work and reassigned to the product team for a failing app that is scheduled to be discontinued. The new team is full of highly qualified and notably eccentric men, and you are expected to pair with one of them to pull the app back from the edge. Sympathy Kiss is an otome romance visual novel about navigating that partnership and whatever develops between the professional pressure and the people caught up in it.
