A subconsciousness perhaps may not influence Julian’s actions, but is at a prime spot for studying them.
This is the setting of Dinner Date, an experimental game to be released by Stout Games in a little over a month. The game fits in the current trend of making games with more realistic subjects and themes, combining them with increasingly novel forms of interaction.
This game approaches a realistic setting, a man being stood up for a date, with a romantic angle: Julian’s character is laid open and his rights and wrongs exposed. The actions are all natural: tapping the table, looking at the clock, eventually reluctantly starting to eat " actions a real person would do in such situations. They become a natural form of playing as, and with, Julian.
A large set of animations is used to bring Julian to life in his realistically rendered 3d kitchen. His musings are fully voiced and emphasized by a high-quality score composed specifically for Dinner Date.
