So, it seems like your quirky summer plans to romantically engage with every item in your living space are officially back—in a virtual sense, that is. The indie dating sim, Date Everything, has just announced a fresh release date. Originally set for a Valentine’s Day launch, it’s now hitting the digital shelves on June 17.
If you haven’t heard of it before, let me fill you in. Imagine donning a pair of magical sunglasses and suddenly finding yourself in playful romantic escapades with items like a door, a piano, or even a laundry basket. And that’s not all—these inanimate objects might just have voices from beloved actors such as Ben Starr from Final Fantasy 16, Ashley Burch from the Horizon series, or Neil Newbon, the charismatic voice from Baldur’s Gate 3. That’s the world of Date Everything for you.
In addition to announcing the new June 17 release, Sassy Chap Games has debuted a brand-new trailer. This sneak peek is hosted by Skylar, a character brought to life by Felicia Day, known for her roles in Fallout: New Vegas and Supernatural. The trailer showcases the “Dateviator” glasses—a whimsical gadget that transforms ordinary objects into lively characters when observed through them. It’s not as eerie as you might think. For instance, your house’s front door evolves into Dorian, a suave and buff character with rugged charm who embodies a literal interpretation of his functional counterpart.
Imagine that a plain wall morphs into Wallace, a Conan-like barbarian, while a water heater reveals its true form as Winnifred, a half-Greek goddess and half-Dalek hybrid. Oh, and there’s also Hoovie, a personable vacuum cleaner. Throughout the game, you’ll encounter 100 uniquely voiced characters, with hints even pointing towards a potential encounter with a toilet.
As our insightful Kelsey mentioned in a preview last month, “Relationships can be unpredictable. Still, dating your floorboards, coat hangers, or game consoles adds a level of unpredictability unlike any other. One thing Date Everything promises is a soothing, quirky, and replayable experience, akin to the delightful absurdity seen in games like Hatoful Boyfriend and Monster Prom. It’s fitting company for a title with such an offbeat premise.”
And honestly, if there’s even a small chance to flirt with the power-packed Veronica Santangelo—assuming Day’s character is a dateable option—count me in.
