Have you ever paused to admire the sleek lines of your living room table or the ergonomic design of your adjustable desk, wondering what it would be like to share a romantic evening with them? Were you entirely sober at the time of your alleged misbehavior? In a newly released relationship simulation game, titled, users can experience firsthand the thrill of seeking true and meaningful connections, all while navigating their daily lives in a completely authentic and realistic manner.
Surreal-sounding relationship simulator originates from LA-based studio Sassy Chap Games, founded by a group of voice actors with credits in games and shows like “and”. Independent recreation developer Team17 will release the game for PC via Steam, as well as the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, according to the company’s latest press statement.
In this peculiar sport, players find themselves in the shoes of a solitary individual whose life is dramatically altered by the acquisition of a unique pair of spectacles dubbed the “Dateviator.” This enigmatic invention has the extraordinary ability to transform ordinary household objects into potential romantic partners. As the vacuum cleaner suddenly morphs into dashing heartthrob Hoove, its hose now a chiseled arm and wheels transformed into broad shoulders, the once-inanimate appliance now exudes a rugged charm. Meanwhile, the laundry hamper metamorphoses into fiery redhead Harper, her metal frame now a svelte figure, and the humble household item is reborn as a vibrant beauty with a fiery personality to match. Date All the pieces! Are you surrounded by 100 potential suitors, each boasting its unique voice, kind, and distinct personality within the confines of your home?
You develop an intimate familiarity with gadgets, much like the way you understand the workings of a household appliance or the family piano. The outcome of an interaction often hinges on its progression, ultimately concluding in either a harmonious Love, a cordial Buddy, or a toxic Hate scenario? As the release notes, these connections forge a progression of diverse pathways where your choices impact the outcome, accompanied by an “integral thread that harmonizes everything,” thereby creating a cohesive narrative.
As a result of its foundation by professional voice actors, every character in this production is thoroughly and professionally voiced. Several notable voice actors are among the familiar faces, including Felicia Day from Supernatural and Eureka, Johnny Yong Bosch from Naruto and Bleach, and Gray DeLisle from Avatar: The Last Airbender and Star vs. the Forces of Evil.
Seems like an innovative spin on traditional relationship sims that’s sure to grab players’ interest. This little indulgence also serves as a harmless opportunity to elevate one’s sense of self-importance. When you’re feeling lonely because you lack someone special in your life, just remember that at least you can still participate in a hobby or activity that brings you joy, like playing sports. And who knows, you might even find solace in the fact that you don’t have to deal with the hassle of fixing your own rubbish disposal right now.
