Love is in the most unexpected places in Date Everything—on bedsheets and appliances. With a special set of glasses called the Dateviators, players can flirt with all sorts of objects in and around their home and explore quirky, romantic storylines.
Kristof, an angry treadmill, is one of the more stressful of the present characters. Despite his belligerent attitude and love of fighting, players can unlock his Love ending by responding to his challenges in the right way and showing steady interest.
Where to Find Kristof
Kristof is Dateable 80 and can be found in the second-floor gymnasium. To meet him, use the Dateviators to scan the treadmill. If you already had interactions with Penelope earlier, chances are you already know about his presence.
When you first meet him, Kristof will grow violent and challenge the player to a rematch—but only if the player comes back armed. That weird test of strength is the beginning of his romance route.
First Interaction: Selecting the Right Responses
When you return to Kristof the next day, he will insist on viewing your “weapon.” Choose the following dialogue options to create a close bond:
- A soup spoon.
- Surely eye-scooping
- Which is.
- I think so.
- You’re hugging me.
- You kinda smell good.
- Have you ever not bashed them to smithereens? What if you liked them, too? Like they smelled kinda good?
- I flail around wildly and hope my fists do some good.
- I am at it. Terrible at it. But man, looks like a blast!
- Keep talking.
- Thanks, bye!
- I believed the only method for good is to first be bad.
- Oh, absolutely. You call it violence. I call it fitness!
- I’d really like to have a date.
- You are spot on!
- Well said.
- I’m ready.
- Alright – I’ll do my best!
These choices signal to Kristof that you appreciate his enthusiasm for fitness (and violence) and tactfully indicate romance.
Second and Third Interactions: Moving Forward in the Relationship
Return next in-game day. Kristof will ask how you’re doing. Select:
- Yeah! It was harder than I expected.
- I was born ready.
- You got it!
Kristof will assign a second workout and begin to warm up his tone, giving you a gift during the next meeting. Select:
- I knew it. I can tell!
- Thanks, Kristof. That’s nice.
- These responses create emotional intimacy, leading to romantic relationship.
Last Interaction: Securing the Love Ending
At your second meeting, Kristof will recall your previous time together. Choose:
- Gettin’ all teary-eyed on me there, Kristof?
- Hell, Kristof. Now WE MUST kiss.
This secures the Love ending with Kristof, turning a hot rivalry into a blazing romance. If unlocked, Kristof comes back as a return companion, and you get Poise SPECS points for conversing with him.
Unlocking Kristof’s Realization and True Ending
To fully realize Kristof and bring him into human form, you’ll need to gather the appropriate SPECS stats and follow his Realization Recipe:
| Category | Requirement |
| Smarts | 70 |
| Poise | 100 |
| Empathy | 80 |
| Charm | — |
| Sass | — |
Once realized, Kristof transforms from sentient treadmill to human companion, opening up deeper story content and unlocking special achievements.
Dating Kristof in Date Everything is a very untypical experience filled with hard training and most surprisingly tender moments. Through the right choices and always returning to him, players can move from brawling to friendship—and ultimately find his human form. Poise points, love, or madness are not needed, as Kristof is one harsh and unforgettable relationship.
