From your fridge, front door, to your sink- Date Everything is a sandbox dating sim released on June 17, 2025 that allows you to 'date' a personified version of your everyday household objects. 

Following the events of being fired from Valdivian, you receive the ‘Dateviator’ from a mysterious benefactor. This device is used to Directly Acknowledge a Thing’s Existence or D.A.T.E. random objects around you. The game has over 100 Dateables that you can form relationships with, gaining either Friends, Love or Hate relationship status. You will achieve one of the three status by the responses that you give whenever you’re talking to the character. 

Hate statuses are mostly permanent in a single playthrough. For example, a Dateable now Hates you after your unsavory responses, turning the relationship sour. You are now unable to mend the relationship. 

However, by using a Candy, you can reverse this irreparable relationship and put you back in a character’s good graces.

How To Use a Candy

Candies are rare, limited items only obtainable through conversations with Keith the Skeleton Key- and only after the attic door has been unlocked.

To use a Candy, you simply have to talk to the desired Dateable while having the right Candy in your possession. The option to use a Candy will pop up in one of your selection of responses. Upon using it, the relationship status can now change from Hate to Friends.

Although the Candy is mostly used to turn a Hate status to Friends, there is a slim possibility of using it to turn Friends to Love. According to some players, they've used a Candy on Dante that takes your relationship back to the beginning sequence- allowing you to change it to a Love route.

’The right candy’ to have refers to the fact that you are only able to use certain Candies on certain Dateables. If you find yourself having a Charm Candy, you can only use it on Dateables with the Charm SPECS type. Here is a table of all the Dateables and their respective SPECS types ( Smarts, Poise, Empathy, Charm, Sass )

How To Get Candy

As Keith is the only way to obtain Candies in the game, you’d have to unlock his character first. The Skeleton Key, Keith’s object, can be found on the floor of the crawlspace hidden under the rug of the office closet. Interact with the key while wearing the Dateviator to unlock Keith.

To unlock the attic, interact with the attic door (Dorian). This will lead to a conversation between Dorian and Keith, where the latter manages to convince Dorian to unlock the attic door.

To start acquiring Candies, you can start conversations with Keith. Talking to Keith will prompt him to evaluate your current SPECS, checking whether you have enough points in any of the aspects. The amount required for each aspect differs, but having above 50 points in each is enough to grant you all available candies- a total of five Candies.

Each Candy represents each of the five SPECS; Smarts Candy, Poise Candy, Empathy Candy, Charm Candy and Sass Candy.

As mentioned before, certain Candies can only be used on certain Dateables- depending on their type of SPECS. Due to each Dateable having a type of SPECS, interacting with them will help you gain points in that specific aspect. For example, conversing with Wyndolyn, an Empathy Dateable, will increase your points in Empathy. 

Each of the aspect represents certain traits:

• Smarts: Knowledge, Brainpower, Logic, Trickery, or Cunning
• Poise: Boldness, Bravery, Keep Cool, Taking Things in Stride
• Empathy: Good Socializing and Listening Skills
• Charm: Sweet-talker
• Sass: Witty Banter, Humor, Rapport, Snappy Communication
