Ai Dente

Hello! I'm a long term lurker who wanted to try and give back to the community in some form.  I built the game entirely using Claude, but even thought it's AI slop I hope you're able to get some enjoyment out of it. This first release is a proof of concept more than anything, but my hope is that if I continue development.

KNOWN ISSUES/TODO/IDEAS:

• Main Character Stage 1 has a very... fascist pose.
• Make the restaurant choice change background picture and music, I will need to find royalty free files for these
• Add additional characters, and make the management/simulation side matter more
• Additional WG stages or outfits?
• Debug mode (lower left) doesn't reflect the weight stage characters should have when testing out wg stage cutscenes
• Maybe a viewer mode, and the ability to manually save
• Tweaking the cooking minigame to be more fun or visually entertaining
• In the far future, if this somehow makes any money I would like to pay a real artist to do portraits etc.
• Bad endings
• Anything else you might suggest! The nice thing about this being AI slop is it's easier to add in player ideas etc.

**AI Dente** is a cozy, campy restaurant management sim crossed with a visual novel. Run your dream restaurant, cook with style, and get to know the people who make it special.

**Cook.** Master a timing-based cooking minigame with escalating difficulty across 15 dishes and 3 tiers. Chase the perfect combo streak. Earn Chef's Kiss.

**Manage.** Choose your cuisine style, set your menu, source ingredients, hire upgrades, and decide where to focus your team. Your management decisions shape who walks through the door.

**Romance.** Four romanceable characters, each with full multi-stage evening arcs. Mara, the charming FOH lead. Roz, the brash knife-wielding sous chef. Dr. Vivienne Beaumont, the ruthless food critic. Nikki "The Spike" Morrison, competitive eating champion.

**Grow.** This is a weight gain game. Characters change over time — visually, narratively, and emotionally. The tone is warm, comedic, and genre-aware. If that's not your thing, this isn't your game, and that's okay.
