Ben Starr takes self-love to hilarious new heights in a recent gaming video where he exclusively dates his own character. The Final Fantasy XVI star showcases his comedic chops in Date Everything, a quirky sandbox dating simulator that turns ordinary objects into romantic prospects through magical “Dateviators” glasses.
The game features an impressive lineup of voice talent, including industry heavyweights like Ashly Burch, Matthew Mercer, and Laura Bailey, but Starr decided to focus his attention inward, playing through the game while only romancing versions of himself. His character, a sentient door named Dorian, comes in 17 distinct variations, each with unique quirks. There’s Front Dorian sporting a tiny hat, Back Dorian (recorded with Starr deliberately muffling his voice), and even Trap Dorian, who notably wears far less clothing than his counterparts.
While Starr is best known for dramatic roles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, he’s no stranger to embracing absurdity. Earlier this year, he transformed into the eccentric jester Jimbo to promote Balatro’s “Friends of Jimbo 3” update, later reprising the character when accepting a BAFTA for the game’s debut.
Date Everything has earned “generally favorable” critic reviews on Metacritic since its release, with Steam users showering it with “overwhelmingly positive” feedback. The game’s offbeat charm and star-studded cast make it a standout in the dating sim genre, proving that sometimes, the best date might just be yourself.
