Okay, I've got to admit to a guilty pleasure. Huniepop is a dating sim/puzzle/very light rpg. I wouldn't consider it a true rpg but I picked it up on a whim from Steam, where it was listed as a puzzle/rpg game.
You play the role of a guy that is clueless when it comes to females. You hit on this chick in a bar and fail dismally and it turns out she's a love fairy She then proceeds to take over your dating life and schedules you to meet girls. You earn hunie points (which is basically likeability) by talking to girls and getting to know their likes and dislikes. Those hunie points can then be used to upgrade your love traits (passion, romance, sexuality, flirtation, etc). Different girls like different traits. Then you basically play a session of bejeweled where all of the traits are on the board. You get more points for matching the trait the girl likes best and less points or negative points on the traits she dislikes. There is a timer and you can't be idle or you'll run out of affection. You have a limited number of moves too, so making the best choices on the board becomes quite necessary as each date is harder than the last. You can buy food, drinks, gifts, and unique items for each girl and they will sometimes give you gifts in return.
The idea of the game is to date the girls enough so that they'll sleep with you. The game is written to be played by a straight male or a gay/bi female. The dialogs change somewhat depending on which gender you play.
As a 50 year old married male, I was surprised by how much fun I am having with this silly little game. I picked the girl I wanted after seeing all the choices and then tailored my character to win her over. I would date other girls just to have enough hunie to buy the things I needed to woo the one. I ended up sleeping with one of the girls I was just "using" first. I just happened to get a mega score on one of our dates and got my just reward
BTW, this is also a memory game, if you don't cheat. Each girl will ask you questions about the things you've talked about in the past. If you don't remember, you don't gain any hunie and lose an opportunity. Questions take time and the girls get hungry and so you have to buy them food to keep talking. Food just costs money, not hunie, and you earn money during the puzzle games.
