A truly bizarre yet charming game, Date Everything!, has quickly won over players, with publisher Team17 and developer Sassy Chap Games announcing it has sold over 500,000 copies. This impressive milestone was reached in just over two months since the game's initial release, showcasing its surprising appeal to a global audience.
A Furniture-Filled Love Story
For those unfamiliar, Date Everything! puts players in the shoes of a protagonist struggling with their love life. Their fortunes change when they acquire a pair of magical glasses that allow them to see all the inanimate objects in their home as living, breathing beings. From chairs to lamps, players can chat with, interact with, and even go on romantic dates with these household items.
The game boasts an impressive roster of over a hundred fully voiced characters, each representing a different object. Adding to the game's charm, some of these "characters" are voiced by well-known actors, including Ashley Johnson (famous for her role as Ellie in The Last of Us) and Neil Newbon (known for portraying Astarion in Baldur’s Gate III). This professional voice acting helps bring the eccentric cast of objects to life, making the dating experience even more engaging.
Developer Thanks and Ongoing Support
The developers expressed immense gratitude to their community, artists, writers, composers, and voice actors for the game's unexpected success. “The reaction to Date Everything! has exceeded all expectations,” shared the team. “A huge thank thank you to our artists, developers, writers, composers, and actors – without your talent and creativity, we wouldn’t have such vivid and memorable characters. And a special shout-out to the community – you truly impressed us! Thank you for all the love and support after release!”
To celebrate the milestone and give back to players, Date Everything! is currently available at a 20% discount on select platforms. PC players on Steam can snag the deal until August 26, while PlayStation Store users have until August 14 to grab the discounted version. The game is available across multiple platforms, including PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
Looking ahead, the developers are also preparing to release another hotfix soon, aimed at resolving any lingering bugs that might impede player progress. This ongoing support demonstrates their commitment to ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for their growing player base. The rapid success of Date Everything! highlights the gaming community's appetite for unique and unconventional experiences, proving that sometimes, the strangest concepts can lead to the biggest hits.
