In an innovative twist to dating simulators, a new game titled "Date Everything" invites players to embark on romantic and platonic relationships with various household items, each possessing unique personalities. This creative idea is brought to life by Sassy Chap Games, a fledgling studio spearheaded by a team of renowned voice actors recognizable from popular titles such as Final Fantasy, Persona, and Genshin Impact. The game promises an amusing and unconventional spin on dating simulators.
"Date Everything" is designed to work across multiple gaming platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, and is set to release soon. The core gameplay revolves around using a pair of magical glasses called "Dateviator" glasses, which reveal the human-like forms of everyday objects within your home. This peculiar mechanic allows players to pursue relationships with 100 different objects, from computers and baskets to pets, each fully voiced by a cast of professional actors.
What sets this game apart is not just its unique dating pool but also the depth of interactions it offers. Every object-turned-character in "Date Everything" comes with its life-like personality, back story, and three potential relationship outcomes: romantic, platonic, or antagonistic. These outcomes depend on the player's choices throughout the game, providing a rich array of endings and replayability.
Adding to the immersive experience, the game features an impressive array of hand-drawn images totaling over 11,000, accompanied by a vast script with 1.2 million words and more than 70,000 voice lines. Each character even has their own musical theme, contributing to over four hours of in-game music, enhancing the engagement as players explore their relationships with these personified objects.
The cast of voice actors includes well-known figures such as Ray Chase, Robbie Daymond, Max Mittleman, and Amanda Hufford, who have lent their voices to major roles in other high-profile games and shows. Additionally, other celebrities like Felicia Day, Johnny Yong Bosch, and Grey DeLisle join the ensemble, adding further star power to the game.
"Date Everything" offers not merely a static dating environment but a dynamically changing 3D overworld. The world itself evolves based on the choices players make during their gameplay, ensuring that no two playthroughs are exactly the same. This level of interactivity is a significant feat in the sandbox gaming genre, blending elements of traditional dating simulators with modern gameplay mechanics.
