Five Dates is an interactive romantic comedy game developed by Wales Interactive for Nintendo Switch. The game revolves around Vinny, a millennial from London, who joins a dating app during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. The game offers five potential female matches for Vinny, and the player's choices will define Vinny's interactions with each date and their interest in seeing him again. The game features a completely live-action romantic comedy, directed by Paul Rachid, and is entirely conceptualized, filmed, and developed during lockdown.
The game offers over 7 hours of filmed footage, the most amount of FMV footage in any game. The real-time Relationship Status Tracking influences the story as you play, and the multi-optional storytelling offers ten different outcomes. The game stars Mandip Gill (Doctor Who), Georgia Hirst (Vikings), Sinead Harnett (singer), and Taheen Modak (Two Weeks To Live).
Five Dates is an adventure game that offers a unique experience of digital dating. The game features a branching, multi-directional chain of conversation topics and deep-dive questions, and Vinny is faced with digital game dates, awkward scenarios, and unexpected truths. The game is offline single player, and online features require an account and are subject to terms of service and applicable privacy policy.
