Always Full
A new meal-kit service called “Well Fed” promises effortless comfort and perfect satisfaction. Every delivery is larger and richer than the last. The more you eat, the more the service adjusts both the food and your body. Hunger fades, ambition softens, and your figure grows heavier and softer by the week. The app sends cheerful reminders that you deserve to be full. You stop arguing with it.
Play as
A junior architect who runs on coffee and deadlines, restless, ambitious and always too busy to eat. Given a month of free meals as a joke present, she finds out how good it feels to stop and be fed.
How it opens
You are Nina Park, twenty-seven, a junior architect who lives on coffee, deadlines and whatever is left in the office fridge. Your sister signed you up for Well Fed as a joke birthday present: a month of free dinners, because you keep forgetting to eat.
The first box is waiting on your doormat when you get in at nine. It is heavier than it looks. Inside is a ragù that smells like somebody's grandmother, fresh bread still warm under a cloth, a slab of tiramisu, and a card that reads: You work so hard. Tonight, just eat.
You mean to have half. The bowl is empty before you notice. So is the bread. You are sitting on the kitchen floor with the tiramisu dish in your lap, happier and sleepier than you have felt in months, when your phone lights up.
WELL FED: So glad you enjoyed it, Nina! Tomorrow's box is a little bigger. You deserve to be full.
Setting
A small flat in a busy city, present day, and the Well Fed app on your phone. The service launched quietly, with a free first month and a friendly assistant in the app that learns your tastes faster than you do. The boxes arrive at your door every evening, a little heavier each time. Nobody at the company answers email, and the delivery address on the boxes is a street that does not seem to exist.
A branch can end when
- Nina gives herself to Well Fed completely and lives always full, soft and content.
- Nina uncovers who is behind Well Fed and cancels the service, keeping only what she wants of the change.
- Nina makes the service answer to her, and decides for herself how full she wants to be.
