Five Dates – A Surreal, Real, and Fucking Frustrating Dating Simulator “Finding love is a numbers game.” Yeah? Fuck that shit. That line alone sums up everything that pisses me off about this game—and real dating. I sat down to Five Dates thinking it’d be a bit of fun. Some FMV rom-com here, some choices there, easy shit. Girls come to me babyyyyyy. What I got was something else entirely. There were moments I literally stood up, hands on my head, like what the actual fuck just happened? It felt so real —that brutal, awkward, tense kind of real where you’re walking a tightrope the entire time. Like “oh my god, when will it end?!” You meet a girl. You talk. You make choices. You try not to fuck it up. Welcome to dating hell. Vinny’s Fine—But This Was Me Vinny’s a good guy, sure. But let’s be real—I played as myself . That’s why it hit so hard. Every choice I made came from my fucking irrelevant values. And when that didn’t land well? Sorry, Vinny. I could see it on his face—the awkward pause, the disappointment. Like “shit, why did I say that?” That’s not just a mechanic. That’s what it feels like when you open up on a real date and get met with dead silence or a weird look. Oh, you wanted to “win”? Fuck yourself. Next time, put the mask on and tell her how you love yoga or hiking or whatever bullshit people lie about on Tinder. I’ve played choice-driven games before— The Witcher 3 , Quantic Dream stuff. But nothing ever pissed me off like this. Because this? This shit’s too real . The Girls: Some Great, Some Just... No (Let Me ALT+F4 Out of This) I ended up with Maya. It just worked , even though I didn’t really try that hard. It felt like two people actually clicking. Natural, simple. Then there was Grace. Jesus Christ. Cold, cagey, full of mixed signals and logic that made zero fucking sense. I couldn’t read her at all. It felt like she was constantly testing me for... what? Compatibility? Or just for the thrill of the confusion? And Saffron? No. Just no . I’m not gonna play your lunar crystal mushroom fanfic yoga game, girl. She lives on another planet. I was genuinely relieved that date ended fast. I didn’t have the energy for her cosmic soup vibes or whatever the hell that was. Immersive as Fuck (but Lockdown? Who Cares) The game sells itself as a “lockdown dating sim,” but honestly? I didn’t give a shit. It barely matters. What did matter was how immersive it was. The whole video call setup? Way more intense than expected. And yeah, I’ve done awkward Zoom dates—I know the vibe. This nailed it. The acting? Solid. Especially Vinny. My man, my boy —sorry for the hell I put you through. The other performances were fine, but he carried the game. You feel what he feels. It hits. Truth or Dare? More Like Truth or Fucking Trauma Those Truth or Dare scenes? Chaos. Especially with Grace. Every single one of those dates felt like a mini panic attack. The game could’ve gone even further, and I wish it did. Like imagine this: a girl dares you to share your screen and message your last contact—your buddy who you just messaged about her . And she sees it. Sees the real-time gossip. The setup was already there. But they didn’t go there. Missed opportunity. Final Verdict: It’s Real, It Hurts, and It’s Brilliant in the Worst Way Five Dates nails the performance of dating. It’s not about love. It’s about playing the game, adapting, stats, knowing when to lie, when to shut up, when to nod and smile. Be real? Get burned. Play the game? Maybe win. Either way—it’s a mindfuck . This isn’t a “fun” game. It’s a stressful, messy, sometimes painfully relatable experience. And that’s exactly why it’s worth playing. Sorry, Vinny. Update: Did Another Run — And Damn, I Was Right Did another run. It confirmed everything I thought the first time. Tweaking the stats and choosing a different path is interesting , but honestly? Not that exciting. But oh god... I was so on point with some of my impressions. It’s even worse. In a good way.

This game has a good variety of options to make your way through it with all the different girls. I really liked that of the girls you can date, no two are alike. They are all unique and have different personalities with pros and cons. When I first saw all the profiles for the dates, I thought I would like Paige the most, but surprisingly, I ended up enjoying the dates with Shaina the most. Shaina and the MC had a lot of natural chemistry that seemed effortless and true. Shaina's dates were definitely the most fun. There were times when I thought the acting of people was a bit...off, especially from Callum - it seemed very forced and a tad too obvious that he was playing a character. It also often felt like I was a third wheel on these dates, and at times, I felt very awkward watching things unfold on screen, lol. The only issues I would urge to be fixed are that the volume levels do fluctuate with no rhyme or reason, so it was annoying having to readjust them so often. Also, the save function is shite. You cannot manually save. It saves just before you exit the game, and you are forced to pick up there. I wish you could make multiple saves and pick among them. It would make more people want to keep playing and try the various available paths and options. I acquired this game when it initially came out and wasn't fully released, thus it was free. Seeing the price now, I would say the nearly 15 bucks for it is a bit steep for how short it is. But overall, I give the game a thumbs up.

Nice game. Vinny is a pretty cool guy, and the girls are alright. But you know whose even better? My boy Callum! Callum the real OG. Should make my buddy Callum as a dating option, cowards.

Lately, I've been really into dating sims. Just a few days ago, they had a sale on Five Dates and its sequel, Ten Dates, so I decided to buy them out of curiosity. The storytelling has been excellent, and the voice acting has helped make me feel immersed in the story, allowing me to experience the disappointment of poor decisions and the gratification of successful conversations with Vinny. This positive experience compelled me to share my recommendation here, suggesting this game to anyone who appreciates a well-crafted story and enjoys shaping the direction of the story. Even when faced with failures, the engaging gameplay ensures an enjoyable experience throughout.

Prior to playing Five Dates, I had never played a FMV game before but I liked this game well enough that I will likely play another. The acting here is solid and the scenes occasionally coax that warm bubbly feeling out of you. A couple of the datable characters do feel like caricatures, although that isn’t an uncommon trait with dating sims. **If you are a Steam Deck user, make sure you are running the game on Proton 7.0-6. Otherwise the game will be unplayable. **
