Prepare to break the conventional mold of dating sims because ‘Date Everything!’ is here to challenge the norm. Announced this Thursday, ‘Date Everything!’ is a sandbox dating sim available to wishlist on Steam, where your potential love interests aren’t human, but rather the objects in your home. Yes, you read that right! Think about it: your toaster, laundry hamper, toilet, vacuum, fridge, dumbbells – they’re all eligible for a romantic pursuit. While not *everything* is included, the game boasts a roster of over 100 dateable objects, each with at least three unique endings. This extraordinary feat is made possible by a magical pair of glasses called ‘dateviators’, which breathe life (or at least a hot NPC persona) into these mundane objects.
The game is set to launch on PC and consoles, and while a release date hasn’t been announced yet, the prospect of romancing your appliances is exciting enough to warrant adding it to your wishlist. Adding to the comedic charm are the punny names bestowed upon these objects. Your vacuum is named ‘Hoover’, your piano is called ‘Keyes’, and we can only imagine the other clever names in store.
This debut title from Sassy Chap Games, published by Team17, is a testament to the creative ingenuity of the development team. Started by voice actors Ray Chase, Robbie Daymond, Max Mittelman, and Amanda Hufford, the game boasts a voice cast that includes Sung-Won Cho (from ‘Delicious in Dungeon’), Zeno Robinson (‘Young Justice’), Laura Bailey (‘The Last of Us Part 2’), and many more. With such an extensive cast, it’s clear that ‘Date Everything!’ is not just a quirky idea but a fully realized, humorous, and entertaining experience.
While dating sims typically focus on human interaction, some ventures outside the box, like ‘Hatoful Boyfriend’ with its avian romance or ‘Boyfriend Dungeon’ where you date weapons. ‘Date Everything!’ takes this unconventional approach to a new level, promising a fun and unique dating experience that will have you falling head over heels for your toaster.
