  • Comment: This game is probably notable, despite only having been released two days ago, given it has already received three pretty substantial reviews. However, the draft needs a bit more work - the "Reception" section is repeated twice, and it would be much improved if the reviews were reported more neutrally, it's a bit promotional in tone. I would move the list of voice actors to be beneath Reception. Lijil (talk) 22:15, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Date Everything! is a sandbox dating simulator developed by Sassy Chap Games and published by Team17. It was released on June 17, 2025, for Windows and consoles.[1]

In the game, players wear “Dateviator” glasses to bring inanimate objects to life as fully voiced characters, enabling romantic or emotional interaction with everything from a rubber duck to a bookshelf. These glasses allow players to “Directly Acknowledge a Thing’s Existence” — or D.A.T.E. — by forming connections with overlooked everyday items.[2][3] Players can develop one of three relationship outcomes with each character—love, friendship, or even hate—depending on dialogue choices and interactions.[4]

Gameplay

Players explore a household setting where objects—such as an oven, toaster, or vacuum cleaner—come to life as characters with distinct personalities. Gameplay consists of dialogue choices, relationship progression, and stat-building. Players can interact with five characters per in-game day and unlock unique endings for each.

Development

The game was developed by Sassy Chap Games, a studio formed by voice actors Robbie Daymond, Ray Chase, and Max Mittelman. Ray Chase, who previously worked as a voice actor in major games, served as the game’s lead designer and creative director.[5][6] The game features over 1.2 million words, 70,000 voiced lines, and more than 11,000 hand-drawn assets.[7]

Reception

Date Everything! received "generally favorable reviews", with praise for its concept and voice acting, though some noted performance issues and pacing.

Metacritic rates the game 83/100 overall, while OpenCritic labels it “Strong” with an average score of 81%.[17][12]

Voice cast

Date Everything! features an expansive ensemble of over 100 fully voiced characters. Notable actors include:
