A series of point-and-click adventures

Menippea

meh-NIP-ee-uh

Darkly comic point-and-click tales of strange rituals, uncanny guests and dangerous bargains.

The name comes from Menippean satire, an ancient genre where philosophers argue with the dead, gods get mocked at their own feasts, and the Devil is a perfectly reasonable dinner guest. Satura is Latin for satire and for a full, mixed dish. Every episode is one.

Short adventures in a world where houses remember their guests, dinners never end the way they were planned, and the unclean spirits keep better manners than the living. Every episode is a story for one evening.

Episode I

Devila Satura

Menippea Satura about the Devil

Remake in progress

You are the cook in an old house. Tonight there are three dinners and four guests at a round table. They will rate every dish, and from their ratings you must work out which one of them is the Devil.

Gather ingredients, solve the puzzles of the house, cook, serve, and listen to what is said at the table. Someone is lying. And someone very much wants you to open the door you'd better leave alone.
