Absurdist romance sim Date Everything! has been delayed to Valentine’s Day 2025

<p>Shut-ins of the world, you’ll have to wait a bit longer for your ultimate wish-fulfillment video game. Date Everything!, the <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/you-can-date-everything-in-date-everything-190032967.html">cheekily bizarre romantic sim[/url] from Team17 and Sassy Chap Games, is no longer arriving on October 24, as <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/gaming/date-everything-will-let-you-romance-objects-in-your-home-on-october-24-142727451.html">was initially announced[/url]. On Friday, the team pushed back the game’s release date to Valentine’s Day 2025.</p>
<p>On a game design level, Date Everything! appears to be a simple dating simulator with dialogue branches and voiced characters. What sets it apart is its delightfully absurd premise: You can date all your household objects, thanks to magical glasses known as the “Dateviator.”</p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>Your dateable objects each have a distinct personality and branching storylines. Your romantic possibilities include a laundry hamper (the fiery “Harper”), a vacuum cleaner (the hunky “Hoove”) and your overwhelming (and shirtless) sense of existential dread who would prefer just to be called “Doug.” As unappealing as that bunch sounds for a romantic fling, it may still beat today’s microtransaction-riddled dating apps.</p>

<p>Depending on your dialog branch choices, each humanized object can become a Love, Friend or Hate. The game’s press release promised that each outcome influences a “critical path tying it all together,” so choose wisely between the lamp and the towel who dresses like Liberace.</p>
<p>Date Everything! arrives on February 14, 2025, on Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.</p>
