The Worst and Best Summer with a Hard-Drinking Senpai

My senpai from college spends every day drinking.

She barely eats.

Her apartment is a mess.

And yet, somehow, she always seems to be having fun.

By a strange twist of fate, you find yourself visiting her apartment day after day. Cooking meals, wandering the city at midnight, and spending an unforgettable summer together.

This is the story of eight days that are a little strange, a little reckless, and impossible to forget.

Cook Meals for Your Senpai in an Empty Apartment

A senpai whose life is slowly falling apart doesn’t exactly keep a well-stocked kitchen.

But that won’t stop her from saying things like:

“I want carbonara.”

You can do your best with whatever ingredients happen to be in the fridge.

Or you can give up immediately and create something completely ridiculous.

There are no right answers.

The goal isn’t to make a perfect meal.

It’s to share it with her.

Go Out with Your Senpai After Midnight

After dinner, it’s time to head into the city together.

A discount store at midnight.

A convenience store.

An arcade.

A laundromat.

The beach.

Each day, you’ll choose a destination and spend time with your senpai there.

Wholesome, but slightly reckless.

Adult, but strangely childish.

The kind of adventures that only make sense late at night.

A Message from the Developer

Living on Plain Pasta is a short adventure about spending a summer with someone who feels a little lost.

Making strange meals.

Going nowhere in particular.

Staying up too late.

And sharing moments that somehow become unforgettable.

We hope you’ll enjoy this worst—and best—summer.
