Date Everything! is a sandbox dating sim developed by Sassy Chap Games and published by Team17. The game revolves around the player character forming relationships with anthropomorphized versions of everyday objects around their house.
Date Everything! takes place entirely within a single suburban home. In the game, the player receives a pair of “Dateviator” glasses, which allow their user to “Directly Acknowledge a Thing’s Existence” — or D.A.T.E. — when pointed at something. This can range from everyday objects, such as a shelf, towel, or refrigerator, to more abstract things such as air and the concept of existential dread. When the player begins a D.A.T.E., the object will appear as an anthropomorphized version of itself, and can engage in direct conversation. There are 100 “dateables” in the game, and the player is able to interact with up to five per in-game day, with these interactions affecting their relationships with each dateable. Players can develop one of three relationship outcomes with each dateable—love, friendship, or hate—depending on dialogue choices and interactions, with the game providing different endings based on the player’s relationships. After reaching a non-hate relationship with a dateable, and acquiring sufficient stat points, the player is given the option to “Realize” them, turning them from an abstract entity into a real human. “Realizing” every dateable can be seen as the overall goal of the game.
The Major is back and better than ever. My daughter continuously steals the show in every stream she’s a part in. She told me about this game a while ago and I figured since I haven’t streamed a game that was this light-hearted and funny, I would give it a shot, and I was NOT disappointed. This game is delightfully ridiculous! Wanna fuck the bed? The stairs? The Candleabra? The Shadows? The Door? You can in this game! This game is DEFINITELY not for those who get cagey about they/them pronouns, non-binary people, or pansexual relationships, but it was kinda weird that my existential dread was totally ripped (I wish I was that buff!)
Now some of you might say this isn’t a “family friendly” game, and you are right, but this isn’t YOUR family, and I’m teaching my daughter that you may not always understand people, but we do have to respect them. And so far, I think she’s doing a lot better accepting the world at it is better than most adults.
If you are interested in purchasing Date Everything!, you can get it on STEAM for $29.99, or the Lavish Edition (which we streamed) on STEAM for $34.99.
