You may think that **”Date Everything!”** is solely about putting dates on items around your home. While that’s usually the case, there’s more to it. You can also connect with abstract emotions or ideas, like grappling with your existential worries—let’s call this character Doug.
Get ready for a test of patience, as Doug can be quite a frustrating companion. His humor might occasionally get you to chuckle, and some of his insights about life can hit home. Here’s a guide on how to engage with Doug and explore all his possible endings.
Meeting Doug
Doug certainly stands out as an unconventional character. To meet him, you won’t just interact with an object or use a special tool. Instead, you need to **stare at a wall for about 20 seconds**. Find a spot where you can focus and don’t move during that time; the game will initiate the encounter automatically. I’ve found that **the wall behind the main staircase** in the house works reliably.
I’ve tried several walls, and that one seems to be the most consistent. If you utilize your special power, you’ll encounter a different character.
Building Your Relationship with Doug
Developing a connection with Doug is no easy feat. **He tends to be arrogant and condescending**. To get closer to him, you’ll need to **put up with his attitude** while also trying to appear intriguing and occasionally answer back with some sass. Much of your time with Doug will involve participating in his silly activities, and it’s essential to agree to everything he suggests for a favorable outcome.
Solving the Sudoku Puzzle
At one point, Doug will invite you to solve a Sudoku puzzle together. However, **he won’t share the actual puzzle with you**; instead, he’ll tell you how it begins. **Have some paper and a pen ready**, follow his instructions to set up the Sudoku, and then complete it. Doug will ask you about specific numbers once you’ve finished.
The numbers you need to say are: **2, 3, 4, 3**.
Ending Your Relationship with Doug
To get the best ending with Doug, you need to participate in all his boring activities and offer witty remarks when possible. The key moment comes when he suggests using Vidbucket, an app centered around vehicle crashes. Regardless of how you respond, you won’t actually see any accidents as Doug will quickly lose interest. Before wrapping up, choose the response, **”Shut up, you’re pathetic.”** This will catch Doug off guard, and he’ll end the conversation.
On the following day, talk to him. Doug will be less abrasive. Initiate a conversation and **ask him about Hope**, his ex. He’ll open up about his past relationship. Choose to be his “new muse” and clarify that you’re not trying to replace Hope, leading him to develop feelings for you.
Alternative Endings
If you steer the conversation to have him **find “a new Hope”** or deflect any discussion about his ex, he might suggest being **”friends with benefits.”** Agreeing will initiate a friendship.
For a rival outcome, you can be just as insufferable as Doug. **Ignore his plans, be more arrogant**, and brush off his harsh jokes. This will bore him, and he’ll ultimately leave you behind.
Reaching any conclusion with Doug earns you five points in Smarts.
