Team17 and Sassy Chap Games have announced a brand new video game that will let you date 100 different objects. Yes, we said objects, that's not a typo.
Date Everything is coming to all platforms, including Switch, "soon". Described as a sandbox dating simulator, your character is given a pair of magical glasses that makes their entire house come alive — which somehow leads you to fall in love with household items like a computer, a basket, and obviously pets.
Sassy Chap Games' is a new name on the block, but the studio has a number of recognisable names behind it. Formed by voice actors Ray Chase (Noctis, Final Fantasy XV; Roy, Fire Emblem series; Alfonse, Dragalia Lost), Robbie Daymond (Akechi, Persona 5; Hubert, Fire Emblem: Three Houses; Chai, Hi-Fi Rush), Max Mittleman (Ryuiji, Persona 5; Red XIII, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth; Saitama, One Punch Man) and Amanda Hufford (Haniyyah in Genshin Impact, Underborn in Inkbound), this is the team's first video game, and they're absolutely not holding back on ambition and humour, here.
Every single dateable object has three different endings that you can reach — one as lovers, one as friends, and one for hate. And apparently, there are some critical paths that will tie everything together. Look, Boyfriend Dungeon let us date weapons — toasters are clearly the next step, right?
Here's a rundown of the game's features from publisher Team17:
Date Everything! features:
- 100 fully voiced datable characters for players to fall madly in love with.
- Branching dialogue that leads to multiple endings for each character.
- Over 4 hours of music with each dateable character featuring their own theme.
- 11,000+ hand-drawn images.
- 1.2 million words and 70,000 voicelines.
- A fully interactive 3d overworld that changes based on choices made in the playthrough.
- Full voice acting with a huge cast of familiar voices, including Felicia Day (Supernatural, The Magicians), Johnny Yong Bosch (Bleach, Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers) Grey DeLisle (Scooby-Doo, The Last Airbender), and more!
If you haven't guessed by now, then it's not like you're actually going to go on a date with a table or something — they all have human forms. And you need "Dateviator" glasses to actually do this. So don't try this at home.
Date Everything doesn't have a release date yet, but we know it's coming to all platforms. Let us know whether this has caught your eye in the comments.

I don't usually go for dating sims, but this one sounds like it actually has ambition to do things differently. I can appreciate that. Looks fun. I'll keep an eye on it!
Well, it was only a matter of time…
Sounds like real life for some people
I mean dudes are out here married to Nintendo DS systems so not really surprised. Creeped out sure, but not surprised.
Aww man, human forms? I thought we were going to be dating Switches with faces... (I'm actually serious)
That sure is a premise for a video game, huh. lol
Well, they will get one pre-order if a couch is an option.
We’ve been able to date dilfs, pigeons, monsters, literature club girls, and now household appliances. We’re one step closer to the ultimate dating simulator in which you flirt with quarks and strings. It’ll be called, “the Building Blocks of Love.”
A toilet, eh? Certain unfortuante corners of the internet will be intrigued.
@cmlobue Beat me to it, lol.
"and obviously pets."
No, just no.
you can romance a toilet, 10/10 no notes 💯
Dating sims are not usually my forte in the slightest, but this one has a premise just wild enough for me to be immensely intrigued and hearing its by a studio comprised of a ton of my favourite gaming VAs has me even more interested in giving it a go. Couple that with some fantastic character designs and yeah: I'm definitely sticking this on the wishlist for future reference!
@cmlobue Call that 'couch co-op' if you will 😛
If they all have human forms, then the premise of the game is pretty much false. I've also never seen much point to dating sims that are just dating sims, but I'm glad this game is being made.
What about couches?
I feel like this is the natural evolution for the genre.
We've dated birds, then cats, then weapons and now we'll date whatever is lying around.
Absolutely crazy... and intentionally so which is why I'm definitely keeping an eye
while looking through the "Dateviator" glasseson this one!i remember hugging my 3ds to sleep as a kid so this game might be onto something
Call me old fashioned, but I'd prefer to make out on the couch rather than with it.
This is more realistic than most people think:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_sexuality
The important question is: Can I date the game itself?
Well that is something.
I have several concerns
"Look, Boyfriend Dungeon let us date weapons — toasters are clearly the next step, right?"
laughs in Crush Crush which lets you date a rice cooker, a smartphone and Internet Explorer - on top of ghosts, bears, dogs, ninjas, espers, time travelers, vampires, Scottish maids, centaurs, mermaids, samurai pizza cats etc
For real, though, this genre going even further to town here is welcome news. Count me in.
@Max_the_German or, in TV Tropes terminology, Cargo Ship.
These types of games are usually made and written by people that have never been on dates.
Listen, I’m not one usually for these kinds of games. But if I’m gonna play a dating sim, it might as well be one with ryuji sakamato and chai.
This article made me look around the living room to see what furniture I could put in a polycule.
Come for the "huh?", left with the "WTF?" 😆
First heard about this after Erica Lindbeck said she was going to be in it but didn't know it was actually being spearheaded by the Ray, Max, Robbie (pretty convinced at this point these three share a brain cell) and Amanda; looks like a completely unhinged idea for a dating sim but willing to give it a try just to see how nuts it can get.
This is pretty funny.
The kind of game that will remain forever on my wishlist and never bought.
@SillyG 😂Silly. If you're making out on the couch you're also making out with it. Just because you don't think so doesn't mean it's true.
@hel105 I would've said that people get intrigued, not "places" or things or places of things, but then I remembered what this article is about.
Umm... kind of strange. Just walks away.
@Lightsiyd @Purgatorium @Mattock1987 @Fizza @ZZalapski @cmlobue I absolutely love all the shots at "JP Mandel" occurring in this thread. 🤣 🤣 You fine individuals all win this thread! 👏 🏆
“I wish to date the girls in a gacha game.”
“Huh?”
“And these fighting game girls!”
“I think you’ve misunderstood the poi-“
“And the girls from this Hentai.”
“Now wait just a second here-“
“And this perfect girl I just drew!”
“Oh come on, what size even are those-“
“H.”
@EVIL-C We are all but amateurs compared to whoever came up with this:

Even the hoover?
@ZZalapski HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 Thank you for that!
JD Vance called to ask if there are any dateable couches.
Removed - unconstructive
Oh my
I know there's the saying "don't f*ck what you eat", but that fridge though...
Mass Effect without shooting
@MarioFan41 I'm 100% with you. Thought the premise was really funny until I found out they were anthropomorphized. I want a dating immersive sim with Stanley Parable trappings.
....Okay honestly, I never liked furries...sometimes they're fine in movies, games, and stuff (like Zootopia or Star Fox), but...eh, still not a fan...
Just seeing something not human being turned into a human is just weird...and...it kinda applies to here with the common objects stuff. Seeing a human piano, fridge, or....whatever...it ain't doing it for me...lol
They going to call it the Olympics?
I love that voice actors are creating the game, let alone just the voices. I hope this is just the beginning for them, making games.
“Obviously pets”
... hello 911?
Finally, a chairem anime game!
“ a pair of magical glasses that makes their entire house come alive”
This game could very easy not be what it appears to be with a premise like that.
Well, this raises a few ethical concerns…
@G_and_Thomas $10 says these are the same sort of people who would quit voicing an anime game because of its "sudden shift towards fan service", but will eagerly voice the above scenario now that it's their idea. Or diverse enough. Or Lord knows what reasoning they'd come up with. Either way, hard pass from me.
At least stuff transforms into actual people. If stuff just stayed a toaster then I would be confused (not that I'm not confused as is...)
"I find fit and curvy women attractive!"
"ew, misogynist pervert!"
~~~
"I'm gonna date a cat!"

I was hoping for the premise of dating household objects but it looks like a regular human dating simulator. I can only speak for myself as a non-fan of the genre, but if the objects were just objects, or maybe cartoony with googly eyes and specifically not humans portraying objects I'd be more likely to give the genre a chance. I just feel like portraying realistic humans in video games is far too cliche, especially the dating genre.
@HavNoFear Exactly, while I'm the first to criticise modern animes for being more like "otaku-baits" than having a proper story I just cannot believe that people would legitimately voice these kind of stuff (even if it's "ironic").
At least Mass Effect's "interspecies relationships" made sense.
Dating objects: silly but whatever.
Dating pets: ew, gross, ban this sick filth.
JD Vance just shuddered, and has no idea why.
