Of all the hidden characters in Date Everything, River is easily one of the most beautiful. Her art, design, and voice acting are all exceptional. This makes falling in love with her that much more of a journey.

While not tethered to other characters, River is a difficult romance because she is so shy and nervous. She struggles with her self-esteem, and regularly bolts from conversations. Because of this, you’ll want to make sure you are careful with responses.

How to Find River in Date Everything

River can be summoned by removing the Dateviators and filling a sink with water. She can be summoned via the toilet, but we found using the sink to be best. Once the sink is full, put the Dateviators back on and interact with the water in the basin.

River is a shy, nervous creature who struggles with being needed by everyone, and not knowing which version of herself is best. She will respond well to actions and words of empathy, while encouraging her to be herself for her, and not for anyone else. 

First Encounter

  • No, actually. Here to see you. 
  • I was actually hoping to get your name. 
  • It’s not asking too much, is it?
  • Chair?
  • Ohh, THAT one. 
  • It’s never too late to reinvent yourself. 
  • Of course there is. 
  • Please, wait-

Second Encounter 

  • Did I come at a bad time?
  • Who?
  • Jean Loo?
  • That doesn’t sound great. 
  • Let’s hear about the water heater. 
  • You did seem a little flustered when the water heater came up. 
  • Don’t pressure her, Bathsheba. 

Third Encounter

  • I might have been.
  • I thought we could hang out. 
  • You’re a crucial part of all those experiences, though. 
  • Chasing everyone else’s approval isn’t going to make you happy. 
  • Tell me something about you no one else knows. 
  • Maybe you could show me your work sometime. 

Fourth Encounter 

  • What was that all about?
  • Just choose the one you like best. 
  • I like you just the way you are–no matter what state that is. 
  • Do you mind if I sit?
  • I know what it’s like to feel lost. 
  • Get to know the messy, real River. 
  • Not everyone will like you and that’s okay. 

Fifth Encounter 

  • I was thinking about you too. 
  • Not even Winnifred? 
  • I’ve been there myself. 
  • Perfectly. 
  • It is all in you! 
  • I’d like that a lot.
