A Date for the Ages

This is one of those very, VERY rare games in which there is virtually nothing to criticize. The art is beautiful. The story is humorous. It's not some dreaded mind-♥♥♥♥ of guessing the "right" path to 75 different endings. It's just a short little dating game where your date and you try to one up each other with dares during the meal. My 103 minutes have explored every choice there is, unlocked all the scenes, and all 4 endings. I'm too lazy to go and double check, but I think that the "free" version of this is technically a demo. And when I read on the store page something about "surviving the crazy girl," I was intrigued. Honestly, I didn't find Alice to be crazy at all. All I could think was, "All of MY first dates were boring, filled with awkward conversations, tedious small talk, and mediocre waitresses. This scenario would have been the best date ever." Even the dates that eventually ended in sex; the initial 'getting to know you' portion was just dull. Here's a small team that is getting the job done properly. They deserve some attention, and this game deserves some traction. Here's to hoping that there are bigger and better things to come from them in the future.

"A Date for the Ages" is a short cartoon-style AVN in the Unity engine. A playthrough with 100% unlocked in-game achievements and scenes took me little over an hour. MC is a 46 y/o man who decides to date, he finds himself at a restaurant, waiting for his blind date to arrive. After she arrives, the MC is enticed into playing a dare-game. Depending on (a few) player choices, these dares can escalate. Different choices lead to three different endings. For it's price, I think the game is too simple and short. But at the same time, I wouldn't want the game to have been longer. It would've been easy to pad the game with more dialog or escalate the dares more slowly, but that would've detracted from the experience. "A Date for the Ages" is a fantasy. It builds up expectation and excitement. The "failed endings" are where your mind gets distracted and you lose a hold of the imagination. (Though, unlike real-life fantasies, saving before making a choice makes it easier to reach the climax of the story.) While there isn't as much story, there is actual character growth. MC's date brings out the alpha in a man that's been beaten down and lost confidence. Graphics wise, the game isn't very remarkable. Most scenes are very simple. They'll sit at an empty table, and suddenly have a drink or a bite to eat. And while the erotic scenes ooze pleasure and seduction, they're simple animations with 3 speeds. Personally, I would buy other games like this that are short and sweet, but not at this price point. Most AVNs price themselves between $1-2 per hour of gameplay, and I think that's fair.

Short, but sweet.

short game, fair price

The artwork was great, The story was interesting. I would be happy for more "dates". Support the developer, buy the game.

Well, they are not kidding about how short this game is (30 minutes at average reading speed). It's like an erotic comedy skit that takes less time than cooking dinner. But developer was upfront about the length, and it is a pleasing single-scene romp when suspending disbelief. So, recommended but only if you don't want to use the cost of this game towards other more expensive games in this genre.

This is a fun little adult visual novel. Its got cartoons, and boobs, and cartoon boobs!
