The video game that makes you love a toaster

One sees Temptation Island, a program recently returned, and thinks that that is a sentimental drift applied to TV. One also follows half a minute and concludes that that daring apex cannot be replicated, which is an unreachable goal of trash. Wrong. Since the video game Date Everything!, Developed by the Sassy Chap Games and based on a simple and tremendous idea has just been launched on the market: in fiction, with everything, or rather with everything you have at home, with everything except with human beings and more generally living. Just wear the appropriate “Detaviator” glasses, which will help us identify the partners chosen from one hundred objects available in internal environments: from furniture to appliances, from phones to architectural and decorative elements, from the stairs to the water of the taps. Everything, as long as not physiologically existing, will thus be able to become a love contact; Each agglomeration of dead substance, after anthropomorphization, will potentially be available to establish a relationship with us. We will therefore be able to try to conquer our cabinet for example, or take a flag for the vacuum cleaner or microwave. We will be able to seduce palettes of eyeshadows, beer cans, teddy bears, and trying to get noticed by the floor as from the coffee machine or the blankets, from the watches, from the lamps and from other hundreds of adequate, that the developers have set up inspiring to real life, where relationships are good, bad or very bad, they can also lead to disinterested friendship, as we know, or on the contrary in the same way. This video game, which mimics the desperate need for contemporary affection on an unbridled sublimation level, captures the crazy materialism of the last decades and revisits it in an even more megalomaniac key.

At a superficial look, give Everything! It seems yet another exaggerated outcome of an even more exaggerated gameplay production. It seems something circumscribed, of which you do not have to cure too much, not to be linked to a wider social horizon. His success must instead be questioned on the objectification on which he has invested so much; On the human unions also made things, to be erotsed for a short period of time and finally to throw away; on relationships, true, increasingly manufacturing in their founding requirements.

Date Everything! It reminds us of all this, restoring it as an immense slap, throwing ourselves into a strange Ariosco world, where however Angelica no longer goes in search of this or that knight to be enchanted, does not pace for Orlando or Medoro. The new angelic can even fall in love with a toaster to be happy.
