Time To Take Some Self Care Wih Date Everything

Date Everything! Let's players explore a world where even the most ordinary objects hold romantic potential. Equipped with "Dateviator" glasses, players explore relationships with anything and everything – from their laundry basket to the very air itself – discovering unique personalities and untold outcomes as they get to know their inanimate household objects better.  The Self Care update comes packed with community-requested features and quality of life improvements.

  • Key Rebinding: Change any buttons for ones that suit you better.
  • Screenshot Mode: Temporarily Remove Textbox-Chan! to take pictures of your beaus.
