The Dinner
A psychological horror game that descends into the darkest corners of the mind.
Erick, a war veteran scarred by guilt and memories that never fade, tries to maintain the illusion of a normal life with his family. But his home, his thoughts, and even the simplest tasks turn into a labyrinth of paranoia and repressed memories.
As his daily routine begins to fracture, the line between reality and imagination blurs. A single day at home becomes an endless nightmare… and trauma refuses to stay buried.
Step inside Erick’s mind
Although Erick believes he’s getting better, his hallucinations tell a different story. He clings to routine, but something sinister lingers beneath the surface. One ordinary day at home spirals into a descent into a mind that refuses to forget.
...until the worst happens.
Key Features
A day that never ends: perform seemingly simple household tasks while the environment slowly turns against you.
Survive your mind: use medication, music, or small distractions to calm hallucinations and keep from losing control.
Immersive psychological narrative: uncover Erick’s tragic past through environmental clues, inner monologues, and disturbing playable flashbacks.
Visceral memories: relive repressed scenes where the ordinary becomes monstrous.
An inevitable ending: every choice and every moment brings you closer to Erick’s traumatic fate.
Why play The Dinner?
It’s not just a horror game—it’s an emotional, intimate, and unsettling experience. The Dinner places you inside the mind of someone broken by trauma, forcing you to question what’s real and what isn’t. A short but intense story that will linger long after the game is over.
