A game called “Date Everything” can literally make everything date.

“From a traditional dating SIM perspective, you usually choose one route, one lover and go with it,” says Chase, Reid’s story designer, in addition to doing voice work in the game. The team thought about following a similar path and then rejected it because they felt they had limitations in the end. “This is by definition a game of celebrating polyamory. You’re dating everything,” he says.

Despite the inherent absurdity of that premise, I’ll date everything It’s closer to modern dating than many dating sims today. The player’s characters are stuck in dead-end jobs eaten by shady CEOs and capitalist greed. Finding the object you want to ask is not always easy. Also, sometimes even when you quickly learn that there is no chemistry. Some characters are warnings about content about things like stalkers or really rude. Others just want to cling to or hook up.

“We tell many different ways of expressing love (with the story),” Chase says. “We have explicitly horny characters. All they want is a pure sexual relationship with the player.” The other characters are asexual. That is, they are either not sexually attracted to others, or are aromatic, and have not experienced romantic feelings. “We even have very sexual characters who are completely problematic with a completely asexual playthrough, showing kaleidoscopes of different ways of expressing love and friendship,” he says.

For purists who are not keen on that idea, it’s still up to them to decide what they want. “You’re getting to know many characters in the house, but even if you fall in love with them, become friends, or become enemies, it really doesn’t matter. You can still have a completely monogamous relationship with one character or five hangers.” (The hangers are usually in a pack, so even when they come together, they all count as one character). “We wanted to make sure that every path for everyone is just as diverse as people are,” Chase says. “We didn’t want to repeat themes between characters.”

Sassy Chap doesn’t consider their games to be typical dating sims, and does not necessarily or need them to fit perfectly into the genre. “The overall point of the dating sim genre is to embody the human experience,” says Amanda Hafford, who also wrote and acted in the game. “As it evolves, so does this genre. At least it should.”

Variety, like real-life dating, is a huge number of benefits to this genre. “You can date around and know people of different depths, different lengths of time. It’s really important to explore your relationship with others. “I don’t think many (dating) games will necessarily give you such opportunities.”

Hufford adds that he thinks it’s good that players have found characters with no atmosphere. “It’s not for them. They learn something about themselves not only as players, but as people as well. It was a kind of goal.”

In my case, that’s the end, I’m not that interested in dating self-absorbed influencers. when I’ll date everything He showed me the dialogue options to finish time on Lux. I was happy to take it.
