Five Dates is an interactive rom-com about the unpredictable world of digital dating. With five potential female matches, Vinny explores whether compatibility, chemistry and connection is still possible in a world where physical touch is no longer an option.
In this interactive FMV (full-motion video) game, players take on the role of Vinny, a single millennial living in London during the COVID-19 lockdown. The core gameplay revolves around Vinny's video dates with five different female matches he meets on a dating app.
The game's branching narrative structure gives players significant agency in shaping the direction and outcome of each date through their dialogue choices and responses. These choices directly impact Vinny's relationships with the women, leading to diverse scenarios, events, and multiple possible endings.
The game follows a structured dating progression, allowing players to select three initial dates, then two second dates, and finally one third and final date. A relationship status system tracks the player's performance, influencing the story's trajectory and the potential for a successful outcome with the chosen partner.
To facilitate replayability, the game enables players to skip previously viewed scenes by pressing the 'Tab' key, streamlining repeat playthroughs. The branching narrative and multiple endings further incentivize players to explore different paths and outcomes.
The game's full-motion video presentation, featuring professional actors, adds to the sense of immersion and authenticity, as players engage with the characters through realistic video call-style interactions. During the dates, players must respond to timed dialogue choices, mirroring the unpredictability of real-life digital dating.
