How it feels

You sit alone at a dinner table, listening to a man's anxious inner thoughts as the clock ticks and his date never arrives.

What players say

Players are split on this early indie experiment. Many say it is not a game, just a short monologue about a man waiting for a date who never arrives, with the only interaction being making him eat bread and drink wine. Some appreciate it as a nostalgic or narrative piece, but most find the protagonist insufferable and the experience unengaging.
