Story description

Your restaurant has six weeks to survive. The critic who wrote the review that hurt has just booked a table under a false name.

The Critic's Table is an interactive romance set in the heat of a small restaurant, between a chef and the one person who has seen through every plate.

One kitchen, one slow burn

  • Run service: prep, rushes, burned sauces, perfect plates and the calm after a good night.
  • Cook honestly, because reviews are never bought and love is not won by changing the food.
  • Find out why Morgan wrote what they wrote, and what it cost them to write it.

Tom is the steadiest pair of hands in your kitchen. Lucia reads every table in seconds. Why the review was so harsh and what each of you is hiding about food is different every time you play.

Warm, sharp and sensory

Steam, knives, butter and banter, with nothing forced and the pace yours to set.

The critic has asked for your recommendation. What do you cook?
