The Dented Kettle
When Sable inherits her grandmother’s old diner, she expects grease stains, broken appliances, and a steady stream of lonely regulars. What she doesn’t expect is to find herself at the center of something stranger- something that doesn’t belong in the kitchen, or anywhere else in the waking world.
Welcome to The Dented Kettle, a story-driven visual novel that blends cozy diner life with unsettling mystery and slow-burn romance. You play as Sable, a quiet but determined woman who’s got little more than a set of keys, a rusty grill, and a dream of keeping her grandmother’s legacy alive. The place has seen better days, and so has Sable. Together, they might just make it work.
Between morning coffee rushes and late-night repairs, you’ll manage your time, upgrade the diner, and choose how Sable grows her relationships- with new friends, curious strangers, or a certain someone who keeps showing up after dark.
But as the days go on, and the lights flicker a little too often, you’ll start to notice things. Things that shouldn’t be there. Things that whisper when no one else is around. The diner has a past- and it’s not ready to stay buried.
Will you rebuild what’s been lost- while uncovering truths that were meant to stay hidden?
Come in. The coffee’s hot. The grill’s still warm. And something’s waiting in the dark.
