Evaluation

DateBoy is a short, self-contained comedic adventure game that released on November 4, 2025. The store description makes clear this is a compact, complete experience — the developer explicitly states it lasts 15–30 minutes and describes the full premise without any mention of future updates, DLC, or additional content. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmap, no season pass, and no developer communications suggesting ongoing development. The game launched as a finished product and shows every indication of having been designed as one.

About this game

Huh?

DateBoy involves playing on a Ga retro handheld video game console while you're on a DATE! Hence, DateBoy. DATE. BOY. Get it? DateBoy.

FEATURES! GIVE ME FEATURES! AHHHHH

Well how bout you try the flippin game and see for yourself? It only lasts like 15-30 minutes!

I can't! I am but a mere Steam description Heading-2 text, cruelly contained within the dark realm of the description box!!!

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...
