Date Everything Dorian Route Fact-Check: How to Romance Him, Choices, and Real Endings
By Alexander Ross
Household object personification sits at the absolute core of the Team17-published title, but Dorian stands apart from zany appliances like microwave ovens or chatterbox lamps. He represents the boundary line between your protagonist's private interior sanctuary and the chaotic exterior world. In design terms, Sassy Chap Games built Dorian with crisp tailoring, dark wood accents, and a brass-finished aesthetic that mirrors traditional front door hardware.
His baseline personality leans heavily into dry, world-weary banter. Dorian spends his existence observing everyone who enters and leaves, meaning he possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of your character's poor life decisions. Gaining his respect means acknowledging his exhausting dual role as guardian and greeting post. If you approach him purely as comic relief, he shuts down immediately.
Players interact with Dorian using the "Dateviators", the specialized eyewear driving the game's perception-shifting narrative. Through those lenses, Dorian moves from stationary millwork to an articulate, sharply dressed intellectual who guards his emotional perimeter as fiercely as your entryway.
