When you first launch Date Everything, it's reasonable to assume that the "everything" part of the title refers only to tangible, everyday items—things like your coffee maker, bed, or air fryer. You know, the usual household suspects. Those are all in there, sure, but the game really does mean everything.

Love is an abstract concept, so why shouldn't the beings you date be abstract as well? Fortunately, you can even form relationships with your own nightmares. Once you encounter the titular Nightmare, things get a bit intense. How do you even interact with your deepest fears?

Who Is Nightmare?

As the name suggests, Nightmare is your nightmares given form. It’s a terrifying fusion of monstrous shapes, sharp teeth, and glowing limbs wrapped in shadowy mist. In the darkness, only vague outlines of its horrifying limbs are visible. But hey, some people find that appealing.

Nightmare presents itself as hostile. After all, nightmares aren’t meant to be comforting. If you want to calm them down and turn them into something pleasant, you’ll need to engage in lucid dreaming. Nightmares don’t appreciate being ignored or weakened.

How To Meet Nightmare

Normally, nightmares are something you'd avoid. But in this game, you're encouraged to seek them out. That said, your character tends to sleep very deeply, so how do you intentionally bring on a nightmare?

You have two options. The first is patience. Eventually, Nightmare will appear when you fall asleep at night, though it doesn’t happen often. Still, this is likely how you’ll meet Nightmare for the first time.

After that initial meeting, Nightmare gives you a clue about how to summon them again. Drink coffee right before bedtime. Obviously, this isn't advisable in real life, but in the game, it's the most reliable method. Drinking coffee as your final action before sleeping guarantees Nightmare’s appearance.

How To Change Your Relationship Status With Nightmare

The ultimate goal in Date Everything is to achieve an ending with every character—including your nightmares. Like other characters, Nightmare has three different endings available. However, forming a bond with Nightmare isn’t as simple as just flirting.

A key decision comes when Nightmare asks you to identify your greatest fear. All answers are valid, but your reactions during the nightmare sequences determine your eventual outcome. Here's how to reach each ending:

Hate

Making Nightmare hate you is fairly straightforward. Since their purpose is to scare you, all you need to do is consistently deny or reject fear. This makes them question their role, blame you for it, and become more determined to frighten you.

Friends Becoming friends with Nightmare requires a unique approach. Instead of reassuring them about their existence, you must show genuine fear throughout. Let them feel dominant, and be sincere—Nightmare can tell if you’re pretending. Be scared, but not overly dramatic.

Love

Earning Nightmare’s love is similar to earning their friendship—you just have to do it perfectly. Mistakes or lack of response will result in friendship. If you respond correctly every time, acknowledge their role, and react with real fear, they’ll grow fond of you. Even your worst fears can develop feelings for you.
