Five Dates is an interactive adventure game developed by Good Gate Media and published by Wales Interactive. Released on November 17, 2020, this live-action romantic comedy game allows players to guide Vinny, a millennial from London experiencing the challenges of digital dating during the COVID-19 lockdown. Players engage in video dates with five uniquely diverse women, featuring performances from Mandip Gill (Doctor Who) and Georgia Hirst (Vikings). The decisions players make influence Vinny’s relationships, affecting how the dates progress and determining the outcomes, which includes ten different endings.
With over seven hours of filmed footage, Five Dates stands out for its extensive full-motion video (FMV) content and real-time relationship status tracking that dynamically alters the story. The game explores modern attraction and compatibility, presenting a varied narrative based on user choices.
