Behold, dating sims, a beloved realm within the tapestry of video game genres. Yet, they often confine one’s romantic pursuit to fellow humans. However, a groundbreaking indie creation known as Date Everything! emerges to shatter such limitations.
Date Everything!, unveiled on a fateful Thursday, now beckons you to partake in its dreams on Steam. This innovative marvel is labeled a “sandbox” dating sim, inviting you to court around 100 inanimate objects inhabiting your abode. Though not encompassing all, it does encompass treasures such as your toaster, laundry hamper, toilet, vacuum, fridge, and dumbbells. Verily, it is almost everything. What’s more, each object harbors “at least” three destinies.
Enter the realm of dateviators, magical spectacles that imbue life upon household objects — transforming them into fetching NPCs ripe for courtship. A seemingly straightforward premise awaits.
Alas, a release date remains elusive, but anticipate its grand debut on PC and consoles.
As showcased in its trailer, the objects of your affection bear whimsical monikers. Witness “Hoover” the vacuum, “Keyes” the piano, and a trove of other cleverly titled entities.
Marked as the inaugural opus from Sassy Chap Games and heralded by Team17, this venture was birthed by the voices of Ray Chase, Robbie Daymond, Max Mittelman, and Amanda Hufford. Arrayed before you are myriad voice actors articulating the plethora of dateable objects, including luminaries like Sung-Won Cho of Delicious in Dungeon, Zeno Robinson of Young Justice, Laura Bailey of The Last of Us Part 2, and a host of others.
Traditionally, dating sims entice connections with humans, yet some dare to venture beyond convention. Hatoful Boyfriend endeavored to court birds, while Boyfriend Dungeon delved into dalliances with weaponized companions for dungeon expeditions.
