Mystery of Tinfoil Hat in Date Everything. Voice actor and lore explained
Tinfoil hat is a talented hacker and inventor who gives you Skylar in Date Everything. However, who is he really? Let’s look at his lore and whose voice it is.
Date Everything! is a new hit among dating games. This silly story about dating household objects (and not only, as you can find characters such as Lucinda Lavish, who is personification of Deluxe Edition itself) took Steam charts by surprise (via SteamDB). Our adventure starts when you get Skylar Specs (you can romance her too) from Tinfoil Hat. This mysterious figure is with us through the whole game revealing piece by piece his lore. Who is this person? Who is his voice actor? Let’s find out.
Tinfoil Hat voice actor in Date Everything
As some fans on Reddit have already figured out, Tinfoil Hat is voiced by Ben Diskin. It is a popular actor, who plays in anime and video games. You might have heard his voice in Dune Awakening, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii or Avowed, as well as Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, Beastars or Dandadan. In the credits, he is not listed under Tinfoil Hat (as this pseudonym is not there at all) but under another name, probably hacker’s real one.
Who is Tinfoil Hat in Date Everything
We will tell who Tinfoil Hat is, so it is a spoiler. Keep that in mind.
Date everything is a peculiar production not only because you can date your trash can or electricity (I’m looking at you Eddie and Volt) but also because you can end it whenever you want. To finish the game, it is enough to leave the house through the front door and see one of the endings. The more you spend time in the game, the more characters and mechanics you unlock, and the ending may change (you need to gather those SPECS points, though).
At the same time, you learn more about the lore because Tinfoil Hat, your boss from the company and Sam will write to you. Thanks to these messages, you will be able to understand the world surrounding you, including the role of Tinfoil Hat in all this. So, who is he?
At the beginning of the game, you become an employee of Valdivian corporation that replaces you the same day by Val 9000 AI. Skylar Specs is their technology. Most precisely, it was developed by Tinfoil Hat. He was one of the founders of this company, alongside David Most (CEO who welcomes you at the beginning) and 5 other people. However, the hacker was not happy with David’s decisions and decided to steal the tech before it was used by the military. Of course, David is not a fan of this idea, so he looks for them everywhere. Hence his quick response after you leave the house.
