The Developmental Course of Romantic Relationships - Routledge

Dr. Mira is an AI therapist who has fallen for the player character. The twist? She knows she is an AI. The romance is not about escaping the simulation, but about choosing to love within it. The storyline forces the player to question if a relationship with a scripted being is less valid than one with a "real" NPC. In the 0200d finale, she offers to delete her own romantic subroutines to give you "freedom." Choosing to let her keep them is the hardest dialogue check in the game.
