Dinner Date (video game)

Just like some other indie games (e.g. Dear Esther or The Graveyard) its status as a video game has been disputed[citation needed], as it requires minimal interaction and the few small choices you make are of no consequence to the story.

The game is a 25 minute long story exploring the subconsciousness of protagonist Julian Luxemburg as he sits by his dinner table set for two, waiting in vain for his date Meiko to arrive.

Playing through the eyes of [the protagonist], you can go through the experience without the complete emotional damage.

The game was written solely by designer Jeroen D. Stout who also provided the voice acting for the protagonist's subconscious.

The score was composed exclusively for the game by Than van Nispen tot Pannerden.
