Stout Games’ „Dinner Date” has received media attention in the form of two interviews, a preview and a first review.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun has a lengthy interview:
„Dutch developer of Dinner Date Jeroen D. Stout got in touch, and we ended up having a bit of a chat about the game, his influences, Hamlet (!) and which videogame character he’d like to have dinner with.”

Another genial date was had with TK-Nation - discussing the design, production and inspiration of the game as well as earlier prototypes, being judged by literature, the joy of eating bread.

Techolive has a preview: they have tasted the soup and you may catch a glimpse of the start of the game.

Though watching is not enough - as is evident in TK-Nation’s review: there is praise of the play:
„Dinner Date does dish out what it promises. [...] In Dinner Date, you are the hands and feet and the eyes, the camera man that directs the flow of the story, the puppetmaster that brings the mannequins to life.”

Yet Julian’s mentality evokes high emotions - is he real enough to be hated?
