Game Background

The game is set at the "Green Banquet" in 2033, where the latest eco-friendly dishes are introduced and 12 influential guests, passionate about environmental issues, are invited. Players take on the role of waitstaff, aiming to meet the guests' varied needs — money, reputation and environmental concern — to earn more tips. Every dish advertises nutritional values, but they are in fact fraudulent attempts by businesses to profit from eco-friendly claims: players compete for limited nutrition and must use deception to pretend they meet the guests' demands.

The companion animation pays tribute to Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper", recasting the twelve disciples as animal characters with dramatic professions drawn from their personality traits, and rewriting the plot as a deceptive greenwashing scheme. Surrealist elements merge life and death, past and future, reality and illusion — the short film serves as the introduction to the tabletop game.
