About The Dinner

The DinnerA 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.

✦ AI summary

Players praise this psychological horror game for its engaging narrative, emotional impact, and clever puzzle-solving that builds tension throughout without becoming monotonous. The twisted story about a protagonist preparing dinner while confronting a troubling past delivers genuine scares and thought-provoking themes around war and guilt, with solid atmosphere and graphics for an indie title. Some note the game is relatively short and involves considerable walking between story beats, though the low price point makes it worthwhile for horror enthusiasts, and the developer has been responsive

I finished the game and I'm fearing thanksgiving's turkey... I would describe the dinner as a short horror slice of life in which you discover the turbulent past of our protagonist Erick while he struggles to set the dinner for his wife. You'll enjoy this game if you like psychological horror pieces about war, friendship and the guilt after coming home.

GREAT GAME! Super messed up, but really was a nice story and twist. I found the lore and narrative very interesting and kinda want to know more about the world Erick has endured. Really well done for a break out horror title. Can't wait to see more from this dev!

Short horror indie game in what looks like Unity engine. It's a linear story with a lot of walking, but there is a bit of gameplay and interesting bits.

It's lowkey a good game, not a long game but for that a good story. I played the demo before and I was wondering how it will continue. They did not disapointed me. I liked these mini tasks what you had to do. It was confusing at first but you have to just sit and think, to get the answer.(no ♥♥♥♥) The Jumpscares are alright not too bad and not the scariest thing you will ever see. These hallucinaitions were interesting and I liked the way how you could like "fixed" it. I also liked the flashbacks before Erik was home with his Wife and Baby. I personally wished for more flashbacks with more war themed, get it? But the cherry in this game is definetly the ending. Holy Jesus was I surprised, I did not even thought of that. Very interesting game, loved the ending and the achievements. I would recommend it. (Not sure to buy the game?- play the free Demo first.)

La verdad me parece muy poco intuitivo el juego, falta un poco más de atmósfera y hay muchos espacios largos que siento yo, no aportan mucho al juego. Llega a aburrir
Recommended Jul 22, 2026
I like the horror aspects BUT the game itself communicates poorly on how to get a solution. The bathroom and radio puzzle are definitely what drags this game outside of the time it takes to finish. The achievements could drag the clock longer but most task felt like padding for time. The outside area looking the same as the demo was odd but so was the fact there were barely improvements since then. Sadly as much hope as I had for this, I will be refunding as it didn't meet expectations and I even thought the game broke but it was actually a rhythm puzzle. Btw I had to look at a video on the two puzzles mention prior and funny enough we both had trouble but figured it out through trial and error rather than "AHHHH I GET IT". The atmosphere is the only thing in my option saving the game. You should buy if your ok with all that and need a hour game to finish or 2 to 3 hours if your aiming for achievements.
