You’ve been kidnapped by cultists who insist you have some poisonous potato salad with them. But you’ve got no intention of dying today.
Last Meal sits you down at the table with a few semi-attentive cultists who want to have you join them in their lethal dinner. As you rather prefer being alive, you’ll have to ditch your meal somewhere nearby when the cultists aren’t looking, as they tend to get upset at someone wasting perfectly good poison. They also don’t want you getting up from your spot, so you’ll need to put together a solution from your seat.
There are a few objects lying around close to you, and you’ll need to grab them and use them in crafty ways to get the cultists to stop paying attention to you. Will that sleepy dog help you out? Would some tv keep the cultists from peeking your way long enough to ditch the food? Could you pour your potato salad into that nearby houseplant in order to get rid of it? You have to really make use of everything around you to clean your plate without dying.
Last Meal manages a very particular dance with its play style, mashing a ridiculous premise with a sinister premise. It’s funny to be working so hard to ditch potato salad, but there’s something undeniably frightening when all of those vacant-eyed cultists start looking your way. It’s a wonderful mixture of chilling and silly, which is a rare thing to pull off.
Last Meal is available now on itch.io.
