Dinner Date – The Game<\/strong><\/p>\n

via Wired UK, Dinner Date game explores a man’s subconscious<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

What goes through the mind of a man who’s being stood up for a date? An upcoming videogame called Dinner Date<\/em> aims to<\/a> answer that very question.<\/p>\n

It puts you into the subconcious of a character named Julian Luxemburg, who has invited a beautiful girl over for dinner. As the time passes, you get to explore both your environment and Luxemburg’s mind – drifting through his thoughts on the girl and why she’s late, but also on his job, his boss, and his friends. The trailer is embedded above.<\/p>\n

It’s a high-concept title created by a Dutch programmer named Jeroen D Stout, under the banner of Stout Games. It comes with not only an original score written specifically for the game by Than van Nispen tot Pannerden<\/a>, but also a recommended wine to drink while you’re playing. The game’s official website <\/a>recommends picking up an Argentinian Merlot named Otra Vida<\/a> before you sit down.<\/p>\n

While some might dismiss the whole thing as pretentious rubbish, it’s lovely to see the extreme opposite end of the games industry to the likes of Halo<\/em><\/a> and Kinect<\/a>. It’s great to see people trying to address a massive problem in the games industry – that of a huge lack of depth in the narrative of most titles.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I strongly suspect this game will fail due to lack of “bro friendly narratives<\/em>”. There is no mention of “whores” or “bitches”, dinner includes a sit down restaurant with wine, the character does not have access to shortcuts such as “date rape chemicals”. In brief, it is too civilized<\/em> to make money.<\/p>\n
