Five video dates, steered line by line
You are Vinny, choosing what he says on awkward first calls and the second and third dates that follow. Pick three of the five women to start with, then narrow it down to one as interest rises or fades.
Every call branches through jokes, deep-dive questions, digital game dates and uncomfortable truths. A running relationship score tracks how each woman feels about you, shaping scenes and the ending you get. With over seven hours of footage and ten outcomes, a careless answer can end a romance while a careful one keeps it alive.
A lockdown rom-com with sharp banter
The whole thing was filmed during lockdown, so every date happens over video, with no physical touch to save you. That constraint is the joke and the charm: chemistry has to come from timing, listening and knowing when not to talk.
The cast keeps it light and believable, and the back-and-forth with Vinny's best mate Callum between dates is a highlight. Small details matter. Notice what is on her shelf, whether she drinks, what makes her laugh, and answer accordingly.
Good to know before your first call?
How do the dates actually work?
You join a dating app as Vinny, pick matches, then guide each video call by choosing responses. Stronger rapport unlocks further dates with that person; weak rapport closes the route. Your relationship standing is tracked throughout and feeds into the concluding scenes.
Who can you date?
Five women with sharply different personalities, from guarded and dry to spontaneous and spiritual. First dates start polished and guarded, then later dates open into insecurities and baggage if things go well. You cannot win them all the same way; each responds to a different kind of attention.
How long is one playthrough?
Short enough for an evening. One run follows a few dates to a single outcome, so expect to replay to see other women, choices and endings. The full footage totals over seven hours, but you only see a slice each time.
