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.

The best Metroidvanias games on PC
Indie Game Axiom Verge

Taking elements from the best Metroid games and the newer Castlevania series, the Metroidvania genre has become especially popular on PC. While some do share elements with roguelikes, Metroidvania games have a few differences that make them stand out from anything else. They aren't exactly open-world games, but do feature large interconnected maps that you slowly gain access to through exploration and unlocking new items and abilities. Almost everything else, from art style, combat, perspective, and mechanics can change from game to game. A well-crafted Metroidvania can easily be one of the best PC games, while others could be a huge disappointment. Let's sequence break the process of trying them all out and just get to our list of the best Metroidvania games on PC.

If you are looking for the best Metroidvanias on PS5, best Metroidvanias on Xbox Series X, or best Metroiodvanias on Switch, we have you covered.

Steam Next Fest is here and you're likely about to be up to your eyeballs in video game demos. There are plenty of promising indies you can try for free during the event, and we'll coming at you with some recommendations as we uncover the gems. If you need a place to start, though, look no further than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown.

The Turtles' latest adventure is unlike any they've embarked on before. It's not some form of beat-em-up, but a turn-based strategy game by I Am Your Beast developer Strange Scaffold. The tactics genre may sound like an odd fit for our reptilian friends on paper, but it works surprisingly well. That's thanks to a new spin on the genre that gives players much more to do on a single turn. It's a fast-paced tactics game that feels spiritually linked to the Turtles' arcade days in ways you may not see coming.
