Requiem For a Dream kinda ruined double-ended dildos for me, but I appreciate spirit of adventurousness in general, especially since it’s Best “Why the fuck you never said anything before?!” Friend, and not, say, Ringmaster of Orgies or Insubordinate Subordinate. Totally 5 pepper material too.

Also that code is beautiful. if (alcock!=“cock”) …awww. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Update is live! And the best way to enjoy it is to:

  1. Turn on other characters’ POV. (so much drama).
  2. Flirt with everyone, because why not?
  3. And choose a background.

Enjoy!

And yes, please restart and make new saves!

Hi cc, how do I go for A route? Because for some reason the game block the A’s romance for my playthrough :cry:

Do you have a screenshot I can look at? Nothing should be blocked if you went to the pizzeria to help them out and flirt.

Ah I see so I need to help A in the chapter one to be able to romance them. I chose the creavity route instead of helping A :sweat_smile:

Thank you :blush:

Thoughts on the newest update:

  • Got the scene where my Chef went to Perry Sr.'s birthday party and it was fun. The Stones are really sweet
  • And god, i really want to bash Tegan’s head in at the start of Chapter 5 but i knew that i can’t do that for the sake of Ciboulette’s staff
  • Also, fuck McKayla.

  • And geez, M! i need to be Jules’ rock at this important moment! i don’t need your insecure ass ruining this!

Oh man! Celine’s really ruining my executive Chef in a good way though. It’s like any dialogue involving her, my executive Chef probably just wants to go all out with her. Oh CC, you ruin my MC by making Celine just so… so.. I don’t even have the right words anymore!

I’ve played this so many times. All of them i was surrounded by absolute uncertainty on who’s route I’d go down this time. Julie is a tough nut to crack, and I love a challenge. On the other hand, Alexis has been there since day one. And Eve, dearest Eve, trying to make dinner from scratch. Oh ma lord.

caught some errors on a few scenes, such as Julie’s ‘who’s taking charge in the relationship’ scene, where the two middle choices have the # in the text, and in alexis’ post cemetery scene:

She leans in a little, lowering $[ahis} voice dramatically.

“Just give me a heads-up so I can stretch first. Emotional heavy-lifting isn’t great on my back.”

And with that:

Uh, just noticed that Lea has a Relationship bar in the stats. What’s it for, exactly?

They are your team. As the head chef, your relationship with the team matters. Those will help with your end goal at the end of the story.

Oh, that’s definitely a typo. Thanks for catching that. :sweat_smile:

Wait, i think they mean this:

.
(my stats before i start the game)

vs.


(my stats by the end of the demo)

i think the “extra” relationship bar is for the new hire.
(Also why is Lea the only one who has “Friendship” but everyone else gets “Relationship”?)

This game reads very differently before and after lunch.

So about that first of the Seven Course meal our MC’s have to construct–are lemon margaritas a thing? Not a drinker, so I wouldn’t know, much less whether it plays nice with the salt rim they’re supposed to have.

I’m thinking something that catches the essence, and tangy flavor (while also referencing Lemons (again)) would/might play real nice with the second course based on what was said about it. It wouldn’t actually be a margarita, or even a shot of one, but it could be possible to emulate as an inventive, and informative surprise entirely in amuse-bouche form. :thinking:

supppper suspicious of Beau. I think they’re the ones sabotaging instead of Jules

The menu doesn’t really reference drinks, but that sounds like a nice little “lemon thing” to add during the event, maybe even mentioning one insider drinking one while waiting for the event to start. That’s a nice idea.

:eyes:

Lol. Someone said the food description made them hungry.
