Gone are the days of playing kiss tag during recess at school -- with this new [video game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-plug-play-systems) called [Kiss](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-by-kiss-cordless-mini-shaver) Chase, children might resort to sitting on their phones to play the virtual version instead. Kiss Chase is a [simple action maze game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pacmans-45th) where the objective is to find as many hearts and love letters along the way. Meanwhile, you must dodge typical classroom drama like scary bullies and overly affectionate classmates.

The game is a nostalgic take on bringing back the past. Whether you were born in the 70s, 80s or even 90s, the good old days of carefree recess games are probably past you. You’ll be pleasantly (or not so pleasantly, if you lose) reminded of the past in this game set in a primary school environment. The game’s characters, as they are based on real life people, may also remind you of those scary bullies from school.
