Wondering how long Date Everything is? It is a dating sim with a twist: you are dating household items such as your fridge or smoke alarm, and magical glasses called Dateviators make all that possible.
Date Everything takes 15–20 hours for a casual playthrough, 30–40 hours to date most characters, and 80–100 hours to see all 300+ endings and complete everything.
How long does it take to play Date Everything with 100 fully voiced characters each having their own stories? Here is a detailed breakdown.
How Long Is Date Everything?
Casual Playthrough: 15–20 Hours
The duration of the game is determined by the extent to which you want to explore. It takes 15-20 hours to play through casually, with a few characters and to reach some of the endings (love, friendship, or hate).
This will carry you through the primary plot, and introduces you to some of the most important items in the game, such as your bed or your vacuum, and gives you enough SPEC stats (Smarts, Poise, Empathy, Charm, Sass) to unlock simple dialogue choices.
There are only five character interactions per day of in-game time, so the pacing is slow but can drag on when you pursue several plot threads.
Deeper Dive: 30–40 Hours
Players who want to complete a substantial portion of the 100 dateables will need 30-40 hours to do so and have a chance to bring them to life.
There are at least three endings to each character and their stories can be as short as a few lines of chat or as long as a quest involving more than ten encounters.
According to reviews, by the 20-hour mark, some players have encountered only 87 characters and connected with 20, highlighting the game’s depth. It may require several runs to get all the endings of a single character, particularly when you are juggling between love and hate endings.
Completionist Route: 80–100 Hours
Those who want to date everything, see all 300+ endings, and get achievements such as “Caught Them All” will have to spend 80-100 hours.
This consists of replaying in New Game+ to transfer stats, because you cannot see everyone in a single run due to time constraints and stat requirements. The Lavish DLC introduces two additional dateables, bringing the number up a bit.
Some gamers may complain that the absence of text logs or auto-play makes the game slow, but the voice cast is excellent and keeps you glued to the screen.
