It was both the perfect depiction of an Europian who goes to a French cuisine restaurant for the first time (no offense to any french peeps who read this review, but you have to enlarge the portions you serve on your restaurants a bit more) and that of a food critic eating his last unsatisfactory dinner.

Being a short one-choice game entry to both "Single Choice" and "Orifice Jam", it's as linear as one would expect for now, but the immaculate descriptions paint a vivid imagery on the reader's mind, pulling them into the main character's mind/POV. Excellent narrative overall.

The sinister ending was surprising but not unexpected considering the warnings.

There were no grammar errors nor bugs,at least I didn't encounter any, so that's a plus too.

Even this short, the story holds its own. There can be made more additions of course. Maybe alternative epilogues for the choice and achievements for reaching them?

Overall rating on scale: 4 or 5/5

This is an interesting game in the Single Choice jam.

You play as a desperately hungry person at an exclusive restaurant where you just can't wait for each course, but, unfortunately, the courses are tiny and they do not sate your anger.

The text here is rich and, unlike the meals, benefits from slow reading/savoring.

I did feel like the game was initially setting up something slightly longer (I looked forward to a description of the main courses), but it still made sense as is. I was wavering between 3 and 4 stars, but I see from the description that 2/3 of the original game was lost and this is a smaller part, so I'll gives 3 stars for the game that is (here on IFDB) and 4 for the game that might have been (in my heart).
