The Supper: New Blood (v1.119)

A lonely motel becomes the setting for a gleefully nasty point-and-click horror tale built around bad guests, worse secrets, and an increasingly questionable dinner menu. Stewie S. Appleton runs the isolated Twin Sisters Motel with nothing but resentment, a family connection to cooking, and an orange cat named Inferno for company. When years of ridicule and disappointment finally push him over the edge, his hospitality takes a decidedly murderous turn. The mood balances creepy atmosphere with pitch-black comedy, making every grim discovery feel more mischievous than relentlessly bleak.

Players guide Stewie through the motel and its surrounding spaces, searching rooms, talking to visitors, examining suspicious objects, and combining inventory items to solve traditional adventure-game puzzles. The central loop revolves around uncovering each guest’s hidden history, gathering the necessary ingredients, and preparing Stewie’s unsettling culinary creations. Puzzles lean into absurd logic and morbid humor rather than action or reflex challenges, so progress comes from paying attention to dialogue, environmental details, and the strange uses of everyday objects. Choosing who becomes part of the menu gives the investigation a deliciously sinister edge, while Inferno also provides a welcome excuse to pause and pet the cat.

Colorful pixel art gives the motel an inviting storybook quality that contrasts sharply with its subject matter, while the sound design keeps the corridors uncomfortably quiet and eerie. The adventure is compact and story-focused, emphasizing memorable scenes, sharp visual jokes, and escalating grotesque reveals over sprawling exploration or deep mechanical complexity. Its pedigree shows in the clean interface and old-school adventure sensibilities, recalling the accessible puzzle flow of games like Thimbleweed Park while pursuing a much more macabre comedic premise. Fans of Midnight Scenes, darkly comic horror, and short narrative adventures will find plenty to savor, while genre newcomers can enjoy it as an approachable, low-pressure introduction to point-and-click puzzling.
