Evaluation
Five Dates launched on November 17, 2020 as a complete, self-contained interactive FMV romantic comedy. The game shipped with its full story — over 7 hours of filmed footage, 10 different outcomes, and a defined cast — with no post-launch DLC, expansions, or updates beyond a Windows 7 crash fix in April 2021.
The developer's news activity on this game's Steam page has largely been promotional announcements for other Wales Interactive titles. Notably, in November 2022, Wales Interactive announced a sequel called Ten Dates, which launched on February 14, 2023. The sequel is a separate product, not additional content for Five Dates itself.
No DLC has ever been listed for Five Dates, no roadmap or future content was ever announced for the game, and the developer has never indicated any intention to add content. The game launched as a finished product and remains complete as originally shipped.

About this game
Vinny, a millennial from London, joins a dating app for the first time while living in lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic. With five potential female matches, Vinny must pluck up courage to video date with wildly different personalities, starring Mandip Gill (Doctor Who) and Georgia Hirst (Vikings).
The viewer’s choices will define Vinny’s interactions with each date and their interest in seeing him again. Amidst a branching, multi-directional chain of conversation topics and deep-dive questions, Vinny is faced with digital game dates, awkward scenarios and unexpected truths.
Five Dates is an exploration of the unpredictable modern dating experience, which follows an average single man as he navigates the world of digital dating. Through his journey, the decisions the viewer makes for him will challenge their own conceptions of attraction and compatibility.
From the publishing studio that brought you The Complex, The Bunker and The Shapeshifting Detective.
Throughout the game, your choices and your interactions will either strengthen or weaken your relationship with your date. The relationship scores are calculated from the start right through to the very end and will affect certain scenarios as well as having consequences in the concluding scenes.
