Date Everything! embodies its title by allowing players to date a wide array of unique characters, ensuring there is something for everyone. While some options might seem unconventional, the game compensates with a variety of appealing and entertaining dateable objects.
One character that stands out is Zoey, a spectral presence who is arguably the most relatable among the game’s dateables. Her fascinating backstory will captivate players, so prepare for an engaging journey through her narrative.
Discovering Zoey’s Haunting Grounds
To encounter Zoey, players must first gain access to the attic where she resides. Much like the character Nightmare, Zoey requires that you exhaust all available interaction charges each in-game day before you can speak with her. Once you’ve done this, simply enter the attic, where you will find her waiting to engage.
Building Relationships with Zoey
Zoey’s narrative is lengthy and immersive, potentially spanning an entire week of gameplay, reflecting its complexity. While you might be seeking specific endings, I encourage you to experience her storyline in its entirety, as it offers significant emotional rewards.
Completing her arc may require substantial commitment, and attempting to pursue her first may not be advisable.Her story intertwines with those of several other dateables, so prior interaction with them will be necessary to move forward. If you activate the Content Aware Feature, you can bypass portions of her story and select your desired ending.
Meeting Zoey for the First Time
When you first encounter Zoey, her enthusiasm is palpable.She is eager to interact, and treating her kindly is crucial for progressing in her story.
| Zoey Dialogue | Your Response |
|---|---|
| And then here you are. Like, there you were. You might eventually be over there, and that’s nuts. | I might already love you. |
| Except of course for me dying, which was equally awesome because being a ghost is THE BEST!! | I’ve always wanted to meet a ghost! |
In your inaugural interaction, Zoey will dominate the conversation, leaving little room for impactful choices. Before long, she will vanish, prompting you to return the following night.
Second Encounter: Engaging in Deeper Conversation
During this subsequent meeting, you’ll have the chance to explore Zoey’s emotions and desires, helping her understand herself better as well. Although you’ll have more choices here, Zoey’s incredible enthusiasm may still monopolize the dialogue.
| Zoey Dialogue | Your Response |
|---|---|
| Like what? | Like spiders. |
| I feel so happy, but it’s-it’s weird… I think I feel sad? | That’s ok… sad is pretty normal, sometimes. |
| That’s kind of funny. I guess that’s funny. | That is funny. |
| …what does it feel like to have friends? | It feels pretty good, honestly. |
| I’m having another feeling… I think? | Tell me about it! |
| I want… it. | What’s “it”? |
| I want the glasses? | Okay… here you go! |
| Maybe I want what you have. I want to have friends, too. | Are you saying you’re lonely? |
| So it remains just me. Alone. And you say there’s all these other beings here. | Pheonicia said you post on Placebook sometimes? |
| Are there other emotions, besides loneliness? | Hell yeah, there are! We can make a list and feel every single one! |
As she phases out like before, your understanding of her situation grows, albeit with lingering questions. This progression leads you closer to unveiling her enigmatic past.
Recalling Memories: The Third Meeting
At this point, Zoey starts to recall fragments of her past life. While these memories may be fragmented and unclear, they represent a significant step in her journey.
| Zoey Dialogue | Your Response |
|---|---|
| I can feel my chest. Is that normal? | Oh yeah. I can feel all the parts of my body! |
| Rudy! | Rudy? |
| How old do I seem to you? | I’d guess early twenties? |
| He always had his hands in his pockets. | Hm. That might be creepy. |
Zoey will then instruct you to locate her necklace, which is tucked away in the crawl space guarded by Bodhi Windbreaker, the playful embodiment of the 80s. If you haven’t met Bodhi yet, visit your office room, open the door to the water heater, and remove the rug above the access to uncover the crawl space.
Progressing with Zoey’s Story: The Fourth Meeting
Once you retrieve the necklace, present it to Zoey during your next conversation. This act unlocks more memories for her and propels her story onward.
| Zoey Dialogue | Your Response |
|---|---|
| I mean, I’ll go as soon as the disappearing thing happens, like I said I don’t have control over that, but I can… I can just wait in the corner until it happens if I’m bothering you… I.. | Zoey, it’s okay I want to hear about it! |
| But the sunset… it was so beautiful. It was purple. I didn’t know the sun could do that. And I cried again. And I wanted to tell you. | I’m glad you did, Zoey. Now what did you remember? |
| Rudy. He was about 37 when I met him. I was 19. I was in college in town, I think I was studying aerospace engineering. | Aerospace engineering? |
| I would’ve been a gunfighter in my mind. | I get it. |
| I haven’t thought about them in so long, I didn’t even remember them… I think they loved me…! | Oh wow, that’s such an amazing memory! |
| I started coming up to the house to do… I guess you’d call them seances. It would be just him and me, up here, trying to make contact with ghosts. | Did you ever get anybody? |
| Why are you making me talk about this, what if I don’t want to remember?! | Zoey, it’s important to remember so that you can move on! |
While Zoey’s memories become more distressing, revealing unsettling truths about her past, you also notice a shift in her behavior. The story continues to deepen as you approach the conclusion.
Confronting the Past: The Fifth Encounter
During this conversation, you will delve even deeper into her memories as she begins to process what truly happened. Although some of the revelations are grim, they are crucial for the story’s progression.
| Zoey Dialogue | Your Response |
|---|---|
| Hi | Yeah. I was worried about you. |
| I guess what I’m saying is, I’m not sure I want to know. I’m afraid to know. | Maybe he didn’t do it. We don’t know. |
| Rudy took my necklace off. He just pulled it right off my neck and put it in the pocket of that crazy vest. | Really glad I could get it back for you. |
With Zoey gaining control over when she appears, she prepares to confront the events leading to her death, reflecting the urgency of her emotional journey.
Understanding and Healing: The Final Encounter
This conversation marks a significant turning point as you’ll discuss options to help Zoey navigate her ghostly dilemmas and ultimately pass on.
| Zoey Dialogue | Your Response |
|---|---|
| And you and your magic glasses? | I would love to have you here! |
| I don’t know why the hell Rudy thought he could contact his dead father with just me… | I think I know some other folks up here who’d be down to help us out! |
To support Zoey, you’ll need to interact with at least three additional dateables. Meeting them is sufficient to progress; there’s no need to complete their stories. The following characters will suffice:
- Doug
- Nightmare
- Sassy Chap
- Daemon
- Reggie
- Willi
- Shadowlord
Conducting Zoey’s Seance
This pivotal moment will require your commitment to perform the seance, which is crucial if you aim to help Zoey transition back into the living world, albeit partially. Although the choices during this scene are limited, it’s advisable to proceed with the seance to advance the storyline. After this, you will have one final conversation remaining.
Final Conversations: Choices Await
At this stage, you will complete Zoey’s story, culminating in a brief yet impactful conversation. The outcome hinges on one main choice, which will determine the nature of your relationship.
Romantic or Platonic Sentiments
| Zoey Dialogue | Your Response |
|---|---|
| There are some questions I just need to ask, though. | I like you like you, Zoey. Always have.(Love Path) |
| I like you as a friend. A lot. You’re special, too! (Friendship Path) |
The Path of Discontent
Achieving Zoey’s Hate ending requires you to navigate her entire storyline up until the seance and then deny her deepest wishes. If you’ve successfully connected with sufficient dateables, but choose to shun the seance, you will be rewarded with her hate ending.
This option tempts those who are willing to confront the consequences of their choices, as Zoey’s fury can lead to her haunting you throughout the house.
Zoey’s Collectibles: A Treasure Hunt
In total, Zoey has three collectibles that players can discover, with only one potentially being missable. Given the depth of her storyline, which offers extensive insights and experiences, pursuing her as a dateable character is undoubtedly rewarding.
