During lockdown in London, Vinny joins a dating app and begins video dates with five potential matches. You guide his side of each conversation as he tries to find a connection through a screen.
Choose how Vinny responds to questions, jokes, personal revelations, and awkward moments. Dates also include conversational games and exchanges with his friend Callum between encounters.
Relationship scores rise or fall with your choices, influencing later scenarios and conclusions. The branching routes lead to different romantic outcomes, with ten outcomes available to uncover across repeat playthroughs.
Players who enjoy Five Dates often praise its distinct characters, natural-seeming performances, and funny or awkward conversations, as well as the way choices change relationships and invite replaying different routes. Some find the story short or repetitive, and others criticize the dialogue or feel that successful outcomes depend on overly specific answers.
