About the game
Description from the publisher: Following a mysterious plane crash, you are part of a group of survivors who have washed up on the shores of a desert island. You must pool your resources and build a raft big enough for everyone to escape, but the food supply is low and your mental resolve is waning. The more you struggle to survive, the more the other survivors begin to look delicious to you… Who Should We Eat? is a semi-cooperative game of desert island survival and resorting to cannibalism way too quickly. You know that not all of you will make it off the island, which means that only the strong will survive, but deep down you also feel something supernatural about this place — that the veil between the spirit world and this mortal existence is paper thin. If you succumb to the hunger and are forced to eat another survivor, you will be driven deeper into madness and awake to find a new, vengeful, ghostly presence intent on ensuring that you never, ever leave the island.
