Spaghettaway

All is going well on your date. But you made the grave mistake of ordering something atrocious. Your date on the other hand… That spaghetti looks exquisite. Better than your date almost… She eats so slow. Is she…taunting you? 

Your back grows big as you simply can’t resist sneaking a few bites…do you think you can, getaway with it?

Guide

You lose hunger rapidly over time, while your date's not looking, grab food with [ LMB ], and move your mouse down to the bottom of the screen to shove it into your mouth.

Your date won't notice food shoved in your mouth, but you'll gain suspicion if you chew or swallow with them looking. 

Tripping the waiter with [ Right Arrow ] and 'distracting' your date with [Up Arrow] are your main sources of distraction, use every moment wisely to 'borrow' as much food as you can.

You can only text while your date's distracted (which includes taking out your phone with [ Down Arrow ]), if you aren't low on hunger and you have the chance, take out your phone and mash click it to text your secret weapon...

Getting caught means raising your suspicion, you can remove some of it with your three limited smooches.

You'll win after eating enough spaghetti, focus on staying alive.
