* In ''VideoGame/BrutalOrchestra'', the boss Ouroboros has three actions that it cycles through. Two of them are attacks (and one of them deals a usually lethal amount of damage), and its other action involves giving the character in the position in front of its head a smooch, which heals that character.

* In ''VideoGame/GanbareGoemon: Kuru Nara Koi! Ayashige Ikka no Kuroi Kage'', Goemon's injury prevents him from being able to drink the required medicine, leading to the use of this trope. The game makes it seem like the beautiful kunoichi Yae will be the one to perform the act, but she instead asks pudgy, AmbiguouslyGay Ebisumaru to do it. Goemon is ''not'' pleased with this.

* In one of ''[[VideoGame/DeadToRights Dead to Rights: Retribution]]'''s {{Escort Mission}}s, you have to escort a wounded character to safety. Unlike other escorts, she bleeds out over time instead of having RegeneratingHealth. The only way to restore her health is for Jack to [[TakingTheBullet shield her with his own body]]...which effectively means Jack Slate can heal people by basically ''hugging'' them.
* An Inquisitor who romanced Solas in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' will [[spoiler:have the Anchor removed with a kiss]] at the end of ''Trespasser'', instead of HealingHands like everyone else.
* Alluded to in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', when [[CoolOldGuy Gregor]] suggests this to [[PlayerCharacter The Avatar]] when she or [[HoYay he]] isn't feeling well during their supports.

* Alyx is badly wounded during ''VideoGame/HalfLife2: Episode Two'', and the cure involves a Vortigaunt ritual, binding her and Gordon's life together with some Antlion larval extract.
* Kay and Yu from ''VideoGame/Haven2020'' can share a kiss when left idle for long enough which restores the health of the more injured one to the same amount as the other.
* In the "Requiem" mission of ''VideoGame/HitmanBloodMoney'', 47 is afflicted with [[spoiler:the fake death serum]]. Diana administers the cure for it by applying it to her lips like lipstick and then [[DudeShesLikeInAComa kissing him]].
* Used a lot in various ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' games that give you allies - after consuming a healing food item you can kiss (or hug, in some games) your teammates to heal them. The manga goes back and forth on whether this is an actual kiss or [[{{Squick}} the healer throwing the food up in the patient's mouth,]] [[RuleOfFunny whichever is funnier at the time.]] By the way, [[HomoeroticSubtext half of Kirby's allies are male.]]



* In ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor,'' Ms. Mowz's Ultra-rank skill is a kiss move that allows her to restore health to Mario. This isn't surprising, given that Ms. Mowz loves to flirt with Mario, even before she joins the party.
* ''VideoGame/PerfectWorld'' has an interesting take, probably based on the Daoist belief described above in the Mythology folder. Apart from health and mana, characters also have a meter for Chi, which basic attacks and some skills generate, while other skills consume it. Use of the game's "Embrace" function, which may be performed by any two opposite-sex player characters in any overworld area and in instanced dungeons that allow it, results in mutual Chi gain over time for the characters. This function is represented on-screen by the man involved holding the woman in a BridalCarry.
* In ''[[VideoGame/ScottPilgrim Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game]]'' Kim Pine can call Knives Chau to [[LesYay give her a kiss]] that heals her for a fair amount of health.

* Practiced by Sorceress Philippa Eilhart on Saskia the Dragonslayer in ''VideoGame/TheWitcher2AssassinsOfKings'', as part of the healing spell against a rare poison she presses a rose petal on her lips with her own lips. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by a crude onlooker: ""My favourite type of magic: Lesbomancy."

* Older than 3D: The main ways of healing in the NES game ''Manga/{{Golgo 13}}: Top Secret Episode'' are to kill enemies or to just die and continue, but at a few points in the game Golgo gets nookie. As the lights of the hotel window dim, his health meter fills to full. This might on the other hand just be a sexy, sexy TraumaInn, since we never see him sleeping alone.

* This isn't exactly a 'magical' instance, but in the video game ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'', unless you feel like running around like an idiot for a while the favoured way of most players to regain main character Jimmy's health is as the result of passionately kissing the nearest sympathetic student, be they boy or girl. Hence, a LOT of yaoi moments, and a LOT of [[YaoiFangirl very happy female players]].
** Of course, one can't forget prostitute-powered healing in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto''. When Bully's protagonist grows older it seems he can still recover using the same tactics, if taken to a more extreme level.

* ''VideoGame/NetHack'' shows that ASCII graphics get in on this. The "Nurse" NPC type will state "Please undress so I can examine you." and cause damage if she encounters you wearing armor or clothing, but when you comply, her 'attack' will heal you instead. Since this can bring you above maximum HP, this has resulted in the common pastime of [[https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Nurse_dancing "Nurse Dancing"]] to raise the HP cap.
* Rescuing a DamselInDistress and receiving a kiss during the between-levels sequence is the most common way to regain health in ''VideoGame/{{Spelunky}}''.
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'' heavily implies that direct-tethering (giving Mana) between a human and a spirit is this. Jude doesn't get why it's treated like a big deal, when he shared his mana with a weak Muzét. The [[VideoGame/TalesOfXillia2 sequel]] makes the implication even heavier, though now Jude gets it and ''insists'' it didn't mean anything.
