Mizzenmast is short, absurdist game about dining at a seafood restaurant which contains fantastical and upsetting dishes, including salt that makes you weep, sentient mermaids, and creatures that want to be eaten.
The game presents itself as a menu, divided up into 4 sections in which the player rolls 1d6 for each for their order. But upon reading the ingredients it's clear that these aren't ordinary dishes.
Fortunately the game provides diegetic explanation on each of the fantastical elements, including what it is, how it is prepared, and some consequences you might experience when eating it.
It is up to the player how you wish to write/play the game, as there is only a brief note at the beginning that you should "write down your experiences while eating." So whether or not you are on a date, or a food critic, or any other reason is up to you.
I wrote a short description of each meal as if I were a food critic, which you can read HERE

I'm about to cry with joy, this is fantastic and my gratitude to you for giving my weird little game a whirl.
