Nice job: you’ve bagged yourself a date. A night of romance is officially on the cards, you lucky thing.
You’ve booked the fanciest restaurant in town, put on your cleanest underwear, and your date looks totally unreal. All that’s left to do now is draw the blinds, light some candles, and make sure your graphics drivers are fully up-to-date. We wouldn’t want any performance issues, now would we?
That’s right: it’s time to swipe right for Table Manners, the brand-new crazy physics-based dating simulator!
Table Manners allows you to chat, joke and flirt your way to the dinner table with a huge variety of weird and wonderful dates. But getting to the table is the easy part. Even the most perfect of evenings can quickly fall apart as you fight against Table Manner’s glorious physics. Before you know it, you’ll be putting out your third table fire with a half-finished glass of pinot grigio - and that stuff’s expensive. From slick sushi bars to bedazzled boats, there are a whole manner of fancy locations for you to systematically destroy any chance of happiness you have. Just like real life!
With Table Manners, developer Echo Chamber Games has just one goal: ruin the world of romance for everyone. But who needs real-life dating when you can try to feed digital brownies to a computer game with your disembodied hand?
Here's Echo Chamber's own Gavin Stewart with a few words of advice:
"If at first if you don't succeed, try, try, and get blocked again. Don't fret, there's plenty of fish in the sea and the restaurant owners appreciate your business. Completing the challenges your date asks of you will net you the sweet nectar of happiness and maintain their interest in you. The quicker you complete the challenges, the more score you'll earn; unlocking some neat customization options for your hand. Order, pour, season, serve, and cook your way to your date's heart. Just try not to set the table on fire... the restaurant owners are less fond of that. Good luck and have fun!".
Table Manners, the calamitous new physics dating sim, is heading to Steam next year. Add it to your Wishlist now - and don’t forget to stock up on candles. We like cherry blossom.
