Idimya has ordered espressos. She also eats humans. For Markiplier, the challenge is making sure his dating-game character doesn't look like something on the menu.
His playthrough of "I Can Smell You From Here" drew about 1.1 million views since yesterday. It's a horror visual novel built around an awkward restaurant date, where choosing the right answer means considerably more than securing another invitation.
The setup begins on the fictional dating app Fumble and moves to Z Bistro. Once Idimya reveals her appetite, Markiplier tries an unusual defense: insisting his character isn't human either, but something operating a human body. That leaves him improvising an increasingly elaborate account of what he is and how he got inside.
"I'm undefinable, I'm indescribable, I'm inscrutable, I'm immutable," he declares. Unfortunately, sounding mysterious isn't the same as sounding convincing.
A fresh attempt brings more careful answers, including a claim that he grew alongside his host body from conception. Even the question of cooked versus raw food becomes a delicate piece of dinner conversation. The game turns ordinary first-date compatibility into a test of whether two creatures can safely share a table.
Viewers are discussing the distinction between acting indifferent toward humans and treating them respectfully, with several pointing to Markiplier's fixation on the former. Others have found a simpler joke in the title: a notification that sounds less like a game recommendation than a personal instruction to take a shower.
