Five video dates, all talking
Everything happens over video calls. You choose three of the five women for a first date, then narrow it down until one gets a third date, picking what Vinny says from branching conversation topics and deeper questions.
The cast keeps it lively. You trade jokes with your best mate Callum between dates, then face a date who tests your humour, your listening, or your patience with veganism, tarot, and star signs. A visible relationship score tracks how each woman warms to you or cools off, shaping later scenes and the ending. With 10 different outcomes, a failed date is just a reason to try a different answer next time.
A lockdown rom-com you steer
The whole thing was conceived and filmed during lockdown, and it shows in a good way. No restaurants, no touching, just chemistry built from talk, timing, and body language through a screen. You watch for small tells, like what is sitting on her kitchen counter, and decide whether to be honest or say what she wants to hear.
The tone stays light and funny, with real vulnerability creeping in on second and third dates as everyone drops the polished first-date act. The acting carries it, natural and well-paced, and the short runtime makes replaying for another match feel easy rather than like homework.
What should you know before your first call?
Do your choices actually change the dates?
Yes. Your answers strengthen or weaken each relationship from the first hello to the final scene. Attentive, compatible replies keep the conversation flowing and can earn a second and third date, while rude or mismatched ones can end things early. The relationship tracking feeds into later scenarios and helps decide which of the 10 outcomes you get.
Who will you meet on the app?
Vinny matches with five women with sharply different personalities, from playful and spontaneous to guarded and direct. First dates lean on charm and small talk, later dates get more honest about insecurities and baggage. Between calls, his friend Callum weighs in with advice and banter, which gives you a breather and a second opinion on how badly that last joke landed.
How long is one run?
Short enough for one evening. A single path through first dates to a final pick moves quickly since it is mostly video conversations and choices. The over 7 hours of filmed footage is spread across branches, so you only see a slice per run. That structure suits replaying to meet the women you skipped and try different approaches.
