Overview
Description

Dinner Date is a short, experimental first‑person game where you inhabit the subconscious of Julian Luxemburg while waiting for his date.

Through minimalist storytelling and atmospheric level design, it invites you to explore and interpret the narrative on your own. The game lasts about fifteen minutes, offering a concise yet thought‑provoking experience.
