Indie studio Sassy Chap Games has just released its debut title, Date Everything. This new experimental dating simulator has an ever expanding universe of weird and wonderful dateable objects featuring a massive, all-star voice cast! You can meet 100 different, highly-detailed characters, each with complex backstories of their own. Recognizable actors such as Matthew Mercer, Troy Baker, and Ashley Johnson help voice these characters, giving them life and depth. It mixes the sweetness of Dream Daddy and the compelling meta-narrative turns of Doki Doki Literature Club. This powerful and unexpected combination provides players with a deeply personal and poignant experience.
Everything also gives players a strangely rare chance to build romantic connections with an inanimate objects of all kinds. The dateable cast ranges from a cardboard box to an exercise machine to an entire shower. The game expands upon that silly premise further with an even sillier companion—an inflatable rubber duck. Comedy characters make joking declarations that they’d like to date a table, adding to the game’s weird, meme-y, incredibly funny vibe.
Unlocking and Exploring the World of Date Everything
It is no small feat to unlock all 100 dateable characters in Date Everything. Though it is an expansive game filled with hundreds of interesting quests. One featured quest is an astounding 30 minutes long, especially designed to fully submerse players within the game’s fantasy universe. On top of unlocking all new characters, these quests and stories help you dive deep into the game’s emotional and heartfelt storylines. Above all, they give players an experience that is surprisingly moving.
Aside from the gameplay, the game makes a name for itself thanks to its stellar cast of voice acting talent. Voice actors have lent their talents to notable video game titles such as Baldur’s Gate 3, Final Fantasy, and The Last of Us. Their talent and dedication to the craft raises the game, bringing depth and emotion to each character’s story arc.
Quests and Emotional Storylines
Everything features a quest to locate a lost character. The adventure starts by clicking on colorful boxes, a world globe, and a ship bottled on the home screen. This kind of quest perfectly showcases the game’s signature mix of zany humor and real emotional narrative depth.
Through its narrative and gameplay, the game helps players see the value and importance in helping characters with their personal struggles. For instance, players can assist an air conditioner dealing with the shame of being a bad energy consumer or a shower dreaming of superstardom. These narrative arcs bring in a bevy of emotional complexity and player investment that far exceed traditional dating-similar mechanics.
A Unique Blend of Humor and Emotion
Everything breaks new ground with its mix of funny business and tender feelings. Players won’t stop guffawing at the silliness of courting hollowed out buoys. Alongside that, they’ll begin to be emotionally engaged in the characters’ individual journeys and fight. It’s this delicate balance that makes Democracy 3 such a fun and engaging game.
The brilliance of the game is in how it flummoxes and dazzles players on not one, but three distinct levels. Date Everything offers a refreshing and unconventional take on the dating simulator genre, due to its vast cast of characters, emotional storylines, and star-studded voice acting.
