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.

This free interactive museum lets you explore Wikipedia like never before
A white exhibit room with wooden floors has multiple pieces of art hanging.

To wander the halls of the Museum of All Things, is to wander the entire breadth of human knowledge. The interactive museum from developer Maya Claire, which you can download for free on itch.io, gives physical form to Wikipedia by rendering any page on the internet’s favorite repository of information into a digital exhibit players can explore at their leisure. While the interactive experience might not be a “game” in the way most people think of the term, the Museum of All Things is a clever use of interactive media that puts into perspective just how much information we have on demand.

When I first start the Museum of all Things I am placed into a lobby. In front of me I see a help desk with a sign and map explaining how the space is organized. Wings shoot off from the main hall for categories like people, history, culture, geography, and more. Like a real museum, the best way to explore MoAT is to pick a wing at random and start exploring. I choose the culture wing and walk down a large white corridor with smaller hallways shooting off. The sign for flood myths grabs my attention so I enter it and am met with a large exhibit complete with framed images and large posters of text explaining the different historical, cultural, and religious aspects of the term.

The best roguelikes on PC

We all know and love that "one more run" feeling we get when we find a roguelike that clicks with us. The thrill of never knowing exactly what your next attempt will look like make these some of the best PC games out there alongside the best FPS games on PC. Just like Metroidvanias, though, just calling something a roguelike doesn't tell you a lot about it. They all have some level of randomized elements to them, but exactly what changes, what you keep, and even what you are doing in the game can vary. This means there is more than likely a roguelike that is perfect for your tastes. The only trouble is finding it. Don't worry, our list won't change if you come back tomorrow and will still have the best roguelikes you can play on PC.

While you're at it, check out all the upcoming PC games we're excited about to see if any future roguelikes seem interesting.
