The creator introduces the woman across the table with the game's unsettling line. Her expression hints at why every reply matters.

Tonight's reservation

A date with a dangerous twist

Dark humor, branching dialogue, and a stranger whose profile left out one small detail.

Keep yourself off the menu

Idimya is funny, expressive, and unsettlingly candid. When dinner talk takes a turn toward eating people, your job is to decide who you are—and convince her that you are someone worth keeping around.

Flatter her, push back, or improvise a story and hope you can keep it straight. Your choices shape the relationship and lead to one of five endings.
