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. Read the spoiler-light five endings guide.
