Drippy Date

Ah, who wouldn't love a romantic candlelit* dinner with a cute slime soup girl**? Surely, this is going to be a perfect date***!!

*candles not included
**technically not a girl
***not a date

In this horror-comedy visual novel, you play as a well-respected food critic whose job is to spend the afternoon at a French restaurant and hopefully get through the three-course meal without incident. To your dismay (or delight?), the restaurant's designated soup chef Spinaché seems very VERY interested in your opinions. 

...wait, is that a green hair in your soup? Hopefully it won't get any worse than this.

• 4k words and 5 endings (~30 min playtime)
• 6 tasty appetizers to choose from
• 16 unique CGs (40 including variations)
• Your choices may affect the background too!
• 1 deranged cook + 1 cute waiter + 3 unimportant NPCs
• Good soup??

Install instructions:

Version 1.3 is the full game, so I recommend downloading that! There are versions suitable for PC (Windows & Linux) and Mac, so pick the version that matches your computer system. Version 1.0 is the original game jam version, if you wish to compare the two.

IMPORTANT!!

If you notice your screen flashing in-game (flickering to a black screen), press Shift+G and try to alter between renderers (for me, Force GL2 Renderer fixes the issue on Windows). Then quit the game and reopen the program - it should work now! If it doesn't, press Shift+G again and disable power saving mode, then restart the game.

Special thanks to Pitypat and Liam Atlas for contributing to the game, and Fruit-Punch & Moosadee for providing extra music!
