Date Everything! truly lets you date almost everything

Date Everything | Announcement Trailer

Dating sims are a popular video game genre, but they can be somewhat limited in who you can actually romance. Most of the time, romance games have you date other people. Well, upcoming indie game Date Everything! seeks to change that.

Date Everything!, which was announced Thursday and is now available to wishlist on Steam, is described as a “sandbox” dating sim, where you can romance around 100 objects inside your home. Granted, that’s not everything, but it does include things like your toaster, laundry hamper, toilet, vacuum, fridge, and dumbbells. So it’s almost everything. And each has “at least” three endings.

This is thanks to magic glasses called dateviators, which bring the objects in your home to life — or at least turns them into hot NPCs. Then they’re all dateable. Seems simple enough.

It doesn’t have a release window yet, but it’s set to launch on PC and consoles.

Many of the objects of your desire showcased in the trailer also have punny names. Your vacuum is named “Hoover,” your piano is called “Keyes,” and I’m sure the list goes on.

The game is the debut title from Sassy Chap Games and is published by Team17. The development studio was started by voice actors Ray Chase, Robbie Daymond, Max Mittelman, and Amanda Hufford. Considering the amount of dateable objects, and how all of them are fully voice-acted, there are a lot of other voice actors involved. Some that have already been announced include Delicious in Dungeon‘s Sung-Won Cho, Young Justice‘s Zeno Robinson; The Last of Us Part 2‘s Laura Bailey; and many others.

Dating sims usually allow you to date other humans, but some go outside the box. Hatoful Boyfriend had you date birds, while Boyfriend Dungeon let you date various weapons for dungeon crawling.

All Resident Evil games in order, by release date and chronologically

There are almost no survival horror games that last for more than few entries, let alone ones that have persisted for decades like Resident Evil. This series had humble beginnings as a small horror experience set in a single mansion to explore, solve puzzles, and fight against the clunky tank controls and fixed camera angles. Since then, the series has evolved and grown into one of the most recognizable Capcom IPs there is, with new entries and amazing remakes coming out almost every year.

Currently, the highest-numbered Resident Evil game is 8, aka Village, but you would be wildly off if you thought there were only eight entries to consider when looking to complete the series. Right from the start, Resident Evil has loved expanding its world with a massive cast of characters and new protagonists from game to game. Resident Evil 7 was a soft reboot for the series, but there is still a cannon order to the events surrounding Umbrella, the various zombie viruses, and all our favorite heroes like Chris and Leon.

Kunitsu-Gami devs break down the secret to Capcom’s new success
Soh, Yoshiro, and Villagers prepare for battle in Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.

The video game industry is in a period of contraction. Companies like Bungie are canceling games and laying off developers so they can home in and focus on one or two big titles. Why invest in smaller, riskier projects when making larger games in well-known franchises will yield greater returns? Capcom, on the other hand, is committed to doing both.

"I believe that the experience with a series or remake is important, but the experience of a new IP is also important," Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Director Shuichi Kawata told me in an email interview following the release of one of Capcom's more experimental new games yet.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is more like Dead Space’s remake than Resident Evil 4’s
Frank talks to Jessica in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.

Don't let Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster's name fool you; this is essentially a full-on remake of Capcom's classic zombie game. While the narrative and core gameplay loop are the same, Dead Rising has seen a complete visual overhaul, as well as a few gameplay tweaks to make it more enjoyable to play. It's the same great game you remember, but it now just feels like something that could be released in 2024 rather than 2006. After going hands-on with Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, it's clear that this game is less like the remake treatment Capcom gave Resident Evil 4 last year and more like the one EA gave Dead Space. It's an extremely faithful modern upgrade for a horror classic that still holds up today.
