WHAT IS GETTING DATES IRL?

Getting Dates IRL is a first-person, extraction-style social game set in a living city.

You explore the streets, approach strangers, and choose how to talk to them. Every interaction is a risk. Every decision has consequences.

Your goal is simple: get phone numbers — and make it home before your confidence hits zero.

Controls

  • WASD – Movement
  • E** key** – Interaction
  • Space – Jump
  • Tab – Expand Minimap
  • End Run – Use the Computer in your home office to safely finish your current session.

Core Mechanics

  • Confidence (Health Bar): Your social stamina. If your Confidence hits 0, you will faint from social exhaustion, ending your run prematurely.
  • Phone Numbers: Your main objective! Each number collected brings you one step closer to unlocking a real restaurant date.
  • XP (Experience): Collecting XP permanently boosts your movement speed, making you more efficient in future runs.

The Rogue-lite System

  • Risk & Reward: You must return home and use your computer to "save" your progress.
  • Persistence: Your XP is permanent, allowing you to grow stronger over time.
  • The Penalty: If you fail to reach home in time or faint, all Phone Numbers collected during that run will be lost!
