What would a personified clothes dryer look like? Would a human globe be charming? And can I truly, really love a video game console?
“Date Everything!” (Team17) has a deceptively simple premise: What if you could date every single object in a house? From the coffee machine to the piano, all the way to the bed or the ventilation shaft. In the game, this is enabled by a special pair of glasses that brings the objects in your own home to life and makes them approachable for players.
Love or Friendship, if necessary even Hate
In dialogues with multiple choice options, you grow closer, until a romantic relationship could develop. If the chemistry isn’t there, you can also pursue friendships. Or you can steer things toward a hate-filled dynamic.
The characters are truly stunning in their design. Highly inclusive, with all kinds of body shapes, ethnic backgrounds, and gender identities. Small touches, like the loose change found in the waistband of couch Koa or the keychain around the neck of door Dorian, demonstrate the care that went into the details.
Tremendously well-developed characters you’ll want to meet them all
Often the way items are characterized relies on wordplay or a very obvious take on the object: Dorian is, for example, a doorman, while the fan is a fan of the main character. But beneath these gags lie believable problems or traits that give the characters real depth. All of this is supported by a polished, fully voiced performance for all 100 characters.
German translation missing — not everything is always clear
There’s no German translation, in both text and voice work, which can lead to comprehension issues, especially with characters who speak in strong regional dialects.
