Secretly playing your Generic-90s-Handheld-Video-Game-Console during a first date? Shame on you!

You play as a boy on a first date at a restaurant, secretly using a retro handheld console while talking with your date.
Keep a simple jumping game going as you answer questions and respond to interruptions. You must divide your attention between the handheld game and the conversation.
Dialogue choices and missed responses can change the date and trigger comic reactions around the restaurant. Different interactions and achievements give you reasons to try alternative responses.
Players frequently enjoy the unusual challenge of managing a date conversation and a handheld game at the same time, and describe the awkward humor and dialogue as entertaining. Reviews also praise the voice acting and the short format, while some wish there were more scenes or levels. Opinions on the platforming vary, with some finding it pleasantly challenging and others finding it too easy or frustrating.
DateBoy involves playing on a Ga retro handheld video game console while you're on a DATE! Hence, DateBoy. DATE. BOY. Get it? DateBoy.
Well how bout you try the flippin game and see for yourself? It only lasts like 15-30 minutes!
Let me break it down then, you poor thing. DateBoy involves:
a boy
on a date
playing his Gam retro handheld video game console.
You are that boy.
Not really, but in the game you play as the boy on that date
and you speak to your date.
Or you don't really speak to her, but you select dialogue options
while also playing a Game generic portable handheld video game console originally developed in the late 80s
and lots of hi-la-ri-ous things happen.
And there's a funny waiter.
You'll see.
And that's...
DateBoy
You're dumb.
