Synopsis

Sprung is a video game for the Nintendo DS. It was released in North America on December 7, 2004, as one of the launch titles for the system. In Europe, the game was released under the expanded title Sprung: The Dating Game. Sprung puts players in the shoes of either Becky or Brett in a conversation-based adventure game and dating sim that mostly consists of dialogue. Sprung can also be regarded as a visual novel, though the game's level of interactivity makes it unique for its kind. The game was one of the first dating simulation games to have a wide commercial release in the United States. The character treatments and overall plot in Sprung were conceived by Colleen McGuinness, who was the lead writer for the project. Upon release, the game received mixed reviews for its gameplay, but was praised for its comedic writing. It was noted as a unique release for its time and for pushing "the limits of the Teen rating". The working title for Sprung was Crush. Two spin-off mobile games were later released featuring characters from Sprung; Love Triangle: Dating Challenge was released in 2005 followed by Heartbreakers in 2006.
