YMMV / Dream of Gluttony

Go To

  • Accidental Aesop: The game teaches you to be at least respectful to the employees who are working, as they are under stress and have to deal with terrible conditions each day, and being rude to them will degrade their mental health.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Fans love Chili. Also, Cinnamon is quite popular with LGBT fans.
  • Fan-Preferred Couple: Sissy/Milk, since Milk is the only one to be nice to Sissy after everyone turned on her for being a human in the second playthrough.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Kyrie seems rather angry at Sissy when he meets her again at the end of the second playthrough. If you played Veins, you'll remember that him and the rest of his friends were trapped in a dream time loop accidentally caused by the protagonist. In the second playthrough, Sissy relives the events of her visit to Food Town. Basically they're trapped in a dream time loop once again.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Most of the town's citizens cross it in the second playthrough after Sissy outs herself as a human. Dumpling, Cinnamon, and Tomato in particular won't hesitate to kill her.
  • More Popular Spin-Off: Of Veins, where the Campfire Quintet comes from.
  • Nightmare Fuel:
    • The truth behind Food Town; it's a haven for its inhabitants to be themselves, and hell for any outsider that doesn't come with the intention of staying, since their mistreatment from other humans turned them into misanthropes. If you claim to be a human, you're at risk of being killed by them. If you adopt a food name, the false glamour will last forever and you'll slowly become one of them.
    • Chili, by virtue of her being so... different from her fellow Food Town inhabitants.
    • The implications at the beginning and the end that the whole story is someone else's dream.
  • Unintentionally Sympathetic: During the second route, Sissy going mad and deciding to kill everyone (except Milk) is supposed to reflect her having adopted society's mindset against those with different perspectives, and therefore have her be the villain. Though the fact still remains that most of the residents of Food Town have harmed her and some even attempted to kill her for refusing to become one of them.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic:
    • The entirety of Food Town in the second playthrough. When Sissy refuses to conform to their societal norms and outs herself as a human, the residents try to lock her up and keep her in town forever so she won't be able to tell the rest of the world about them. They consistently try to guilt trip her into just accepting their world-view, and when she keeps refusing, some residents try to murder her. The game tries to present this as just a Ragtag Group Of Misfits being scared of losing their safe haven, but when you have delusional psychos like Candy and Chilli running around, it's hard to feel any sympathy here.
    • Also Kyrie lashes out at Sissy in the 2nd playthrough. It's implied he's upset that he and his friends are trapped in a dream loop once again like it happened in Veins, but that's not Sissy's fault.
  • The Woobie: The second playthrough shows that there are many characters that you will end up pitying, like Butter (who was abused and starved by her family), Bread (he's implied to be a normal person, but he willingly stays in Food Town for Butter's sake), Dumpling (he was bullied for being mute until he snapped), Cinnamon (it's implied they were rejected for being transgender, and Sissy herself at the end (who became disheartened with her cooking career due to lazy employees and rude customers).
