Rotten Dinner (Visual Novel)

Created by: wormeow

Genre: Horror/Surreal

Playing Rotten Dinner feels like running around in a nightmare and I say that in the best way possible. The game feels very surreal and is filled with gore and creepy imagery at time, running around where it seems like there's no real escape. This game is completed and very r18, with the cannibalism, gore, sexual scene near the end as well as other similar types of topics. You can find more at @wwwormeow.

The story starts out with Bonnie, waking up tired and disgruntled about to head to class. After deciding whether or not to put on their necklace, before heading to class. While going to class, they end up seeing a guy named Nick bullied and bloodied in the bathroom.

If you decided not to wear the necklace this morning, Bonnie will completely ignore Nick, not wanting to deal with being bullied themselves. Upon going to their locker, they meet up with their friend Fred, a childhood neighbor that they surprisingly didn't spend a lot of time with as a child. The two of them hang out happily, with Bonnie having a good time hanging out with them. Upon going home though, the two of them are met by Nick who interrupts their conversation, where Bonnie can decide to either head back with Nick or Fred.

If they decide to go back with Fred, they will invite Fred over to their apartment to hang out, however, while taking a bath they feel that something is off. They yell out, freaked out that Fred might be trying to scare them in the bathtub, only to come out later and find that Nick has broken in and is holding a now dead and bloodied Fred. Nick ends up knocking Fred's head off, which can either cause Bonnie to scream or stay silent out of fear. Screaming will lead to a negative reaction from Nick as he hates loud noises, leading to Nick killing Bonnie. Staying silent on the other hand, will lead to Nick again telling Bonnie about his distaste of loud noises before confessing his love to them. As he does, describing his obsession of them and how he wants to taste them as he chokes them to death.

If they decide to go back with Nick, Fred will understand and leave the two alone. While talking, Bonnie will notice Nick acting rather shy and Nick will offer to walk Bonnie home. He talks about how he has a condition where his eyesight is waning thanks to the bullied attacks and even confesses to Bonnie and is cool even when Bonnie doesn't fully accept it back. Bonnie offers to have Nick stay over, but upon waking up seems extremely fearful as they know something is wrong. They hear Fred banging at the door before Nick ends up drugging Bonnie and causing them to pass out. Bonnie wakes up to Nick at a table, while freaking out about where Fred went. Bonnie finds out that they're tied up as Nick attempts to feed a suspicious meat to Bonnie. Bonnie demands to know whose meat this is, but is eventually forced to eat it.

Putting on the weird necklace will allow Bonnie to fight back the bullies if prompted, pulling Nick away from the other bullies and running away so that he won't get hurt. They end up stopping inside of a library as they get away from the bullies. Nick thanks Bonnie for saving him with Nick also acting both friendly and creepy at the same time. Things get worse as he talks about how much he loves the smell of blood and he suddenly loses his face. After leaving, Bonnie starts getting scared as they feel that someone is following them. They can either run away or take another path.

If they take another path, they are able to escape back to their apartment, but presumably are still stalked by Nick.

By running away, the bullies that were chasing them continue to run after them, until they end up in an alleyway. However, someone comes and ends up killing the bullies, leaving them next to their bodies. Running away again will cause them to be killed by presumably Nick, calling them an idiot for trying.

If they give up instead, Bonnie will wake up with a start at their apartment, paranoid about what happened, but not seemingly remembering who caused the panic in the first place. They end up greeting Nick outside their apartment, though very clearly panicking still and even calling the police. After going into the house, they have a strange realization while trying to explain the situation to Nick.

If they stop for a second, Bonnie will instead to break the fourth wall, realizing that they are acting more like a robot and that they don't have any autonomy. It switches to you the player, as Nick seems pretty calm, having already known about the fourth wall break. He starts to switch between different backgrounds, from the class hallways to the alleyway, and then to a crudely drawn beach. This eventually goes back to letting Bonnie continue.

If they continue, Nick will reveal that he was the one who killed the two bullies that they were running away from. Bonnie continues to freak out, as Nick gushes on how much he loves them. Bonnie ends up passing out as Nick has drugged them, though not without a struggle. Upon waking up, Bonnie is presented a gift from Nick. Acting rudely against him will end up with Nick getting angry and killing Bonnie, where as being grateful will end up with Nick showing the mutilation of organs in the box before Bonnie passes out again.

Upon waking up, Nick presents Bonnie with a nice looking meat on the bone, though Bonnie is still very angry about what happened. After a pleasant conversation though, Bonnie notices something is wrong and that their legs have been cut off. Nick having served their leg, asks if they want a piece.

If they instead leave Nick to be bullied, they will end up going to class. They end up trying to take a nap during class, and after constantly listening to the sound of dripping wakes up, startling the whole class. We find out that Bonnie has a nosebleed and excuses themselves to the nurse's. On the way there, they end up seeing Nick in the hallways. If they ignore Nick and go to the nurse, they'll fall asleep, but are fearful to wake up. When they do, they see Nick staring at them before he throws them onto the floor and licks their blood. He then apologizes for what he has to do, confessing his love and stabbing a scalpel onto Bonnie's head, killing them.

If instead, Bonnie talks to Nick, they will apologize for ditching them in the morning, with Nick thinking nothing of it. The two of them talk, and he maintains his creepy yet cute personality, even correctly guessing Bonnie's bloodtype based of smell. After going back to their apartment, Bonnie finds Nick waiting outside. Nick lets himself in, believing that because they talked he was basically inviting him inside. Bonnie tries to run for their phone, but Nick ends up catching them afterwards, cutting them open.

Finally upon getting all previous endings, Bonnie can decide to restart their life. Waking up again, they now have the default name Eve and becomes a far more cheerful and optimistic. They end up going to school together and meeting Nick. They have a crush on him though despite confessing, he seems to keep them at arms length. We get to know more about them, like their family and what they want to do in life. The two end up in the apartment together and start to engage in more kinky times, with Nick biting and ripping off part of Eve's thigh. The end is Nick thanking the player for being there with him, knowing he cannot leave but appreciating their company regardless.

As I said, Rotten Dinner is like playing through a nightmare and it's amazing in that sense. There's a lot of moments that are janky or kind of strange, sometimes jumping between shots, the feeling of dread where you're not sure where it's coming from and the strange man who keeps on appearing. The music and the visuals play well with this, with the music feeling very janky with an undertone of dissonance and the artwork being more muted or reddened in CGs. It's hard to describe other than the feeling of someone waking up over and over again in a nightmare, not knowing why they feel dread but not being able to do anything about it. Each of the endings, except for the one where Bonnie is able to escape is rather frightening to, with Nick killing Bonnie or someone else, seeing their guts spilled all over the place while being very nonchalant about what's going on, meanwhile Bonnie is screaming and freaking out. The fourth wall breaking component is interesting, and while I don't really understand it as why it was added to Nick's character, it does make the nightmare aspect even more scary, as now you have someone who knows who you really are, and not hiding behind some NPC that you control. In this aspect I can kind of also just ignore the MC's personality in this one (since much like other MCs they are miserable and hate life) because if it is really in the sense that they're sort of in a waking nightmare, they still might have previous feelings of fear built into them, thus maybe the reason why this happens.

Nick as a character is... weird. He seems like he's built like a fourth wall break type character, but we never really get to know why he likes Bonnie or even you as a player. I think it partially ties into his creepy factor since he does very much tether between cute and creepy very well, but it is unfortunate that we don't know the reason why he likes you so much. As a character, it's very strange to me that he can be this cute and also terrifying, even in a yandere sense. He starts off playing as a sort of bully bait as he is literally being bullied in the first couple chapters, but he has a ton of weird quirks about him, with his ability to smell the type of blood Bonnie has, to loving the taste of blood to just enjoying cannibalism. His endings are also rightfully terrifying, usually having to deal with the guts of his victims or simply even killing and decapitating one of your friends as Bonnie gets out of the shower. He hides his eyes under his glasses, but he actually has quite a cute face, which juxtaposes with the more horror of his love of cannibalism. We don't really see how he gets away with about half of these endings, but as I said, because this game is set very much in a nightmare state, it doesn't really need to make a whole lot of sense all the time. Still though, other than the fact that he is really into gore and hates loud noises, we don't really get too much about his backstory whatsoever. The most we get is when we play as Eve near the ending, but even then we really don't know all that much about him. Even as a yandere, he's kind of strange type, being the type that is willing to kill Bonnie which is upped by his strange fascination with gore. He does end up killing Bonnie out of annoyance if they are too rude or too loud, even stating that he'd keep their organs/body inside with the other bodies he has, but he also kills the bullies that go after them in certain endings and of course kills Fred as well. He stalks and knows a lot about Bonnie, though much of it comes from the fourth wall break, and even then he can still detect things like blood type like a hell hound. Nick as a horror based yandere, like a nightmare creature works very well, but as a character, we barely know anything about him.

Overall, a good horror type game with a ton of gore aspects. If you enjoy more bloody type games with horror in it, then this one is a good game for you. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it despite not really being into as scary things as many others. Give it a try, Nick is very cute in a lot of scenes.
