💔 KNOWN BUG S 💔
- If you can't seem to interact with objects, make sure you're pressing the correct direction (press arrow keys first) before pressing [Z].
- If you can't seem to clean up a table,
try pressing [Z] from the bottom right side of the table.
- There is a very inconsistent body double glitch where sometimes two protagonist sprites show up rather than one at the very end of one of the endings. If this ocrrus, please ignore.

Por que el día 5 es tan dificil? 😭
Ya llevo como 6 intentos en pasármelo pero los clientes pierden la paciencia rapidísimo, incluso pasa despues de compre objetos de ayuda, alguien me explica.
i cant get the game to run both game files dont work pls help
It's really comforting when you're viewing the endings guide to see other people (anonymous) doing so as well
i played this game completely blind and finished it just now and HOLYY WAS IT AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! i would love to see more content of these guys! especially rody, i love his character sm i wish him the best in life
did you get all the endings? i was trying to get an ending other than ending 1 just now and failed somehow qwq
i've gotta replay now but at least i'll have some stuff already purchased (thumbs up emoji)
I have not play the game yet but I watched someone on YouTube play it and it looks so fun!! Can’t wait to play!
I saw a video of someone playing this game, and thought it looked amazing, but playing it for myself was a whole other experience. 10/10 game, I am recommending this to everyone.
Do you open game or Game.exe the crossed out not is throwing me off
open 'game'. I'm unsure what the game.exe is, but they're both exe files, which you can see if you turn file extensions on. this means game.exe is actually game.exe.exe on my screen
I loved this game sm im trying to get the other ending I was playing it on a call w my friend my-hands were cramping sm…
Why is the control so inconvenient??😭😭😭 I'm crying
it is really good,is there only one day or do i have to unlock it?or is it in the bundle
This game is soooo cool ! I had difficulties to obtain all endings and not get killed, but it was really worth the fails lol. The gameplay is also very good, it's not too easy but not so hard that you wanna give up x) ANYWAYS, I RECOMMEND
Yo quiero jugarlo pero no puedo porque no está para Android 😭😭😭
i got all 4 endings and this game was amazing.
Please, one for Android
Is there a team for a french translation ? Because if there isn't I think it would be fun for me to do one (if I can) since I'm a big fan of the game and the studio.
If someone know...
Awesome game!!

Hey! My name is Coraline and I'm interested in localizing your games into French! I'm a belgian translating student and I have already worked on two other games, I'm looking for a last one for a project. It would be done entirely for free of course
The game wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. The controls were stiff and unresponsive, on times I had to mass click to interact with the tables, and the controls didn't help with the sheer difficulty of later days. But as someone said to me: a game is just as good as it's lore, and how is the game's lore? Pretty 5/10 i think the game length really put on toll in it, where things felt rushed. But I would say the game is a 6/10 the visuals carried it hard
what kind of games are you used to playing that this is a 6/10? also you can just report bugs TwT
I NEED ITT FOR ANDROID (。･´д`･。)
You can play it with JoiPlay emulator on android, (i think the app isn't on playstore tho). :D
OMGG THX UU( ＾▽＾)
this is a game that i come back to every few years just because i desperately love the world building and character art, but it's unfortunately just really unbalanced and unplayable. the controls are one thing, but the difficulty level is just near impossible later on. i've never been able to beat day 6, no matter how many times i've tried. i keep coming back in hopes that maybe they've smoothed over a few issues, but i still just can't beat it.
a lot of the game feels quite confusing, and not in a mysterious way but in a "what the fuck am i even supposed to be doing right now?" way. i love the art and id love to actually know more of the story, but i really could never recommend the firsthand gameplay experience to anyone.
Did you know that there's a catalogue on the coffee table next to the couch where you can buy equip-able items that eg. give you more time, increase customer patience? this should help.
if you feel like you're supposed to be doing something but don't know what, i would walk around and click on customers to see if you missed their order. I think you should go for the basic ending first, so don't even worry about talking to the chef or taking out the trash until you've got the regular gameplay down.
also, if you've got a lot of customers, i remember collecting all of their orders first, then turning in the tickets at the knob thing, and when an order is ready, hit the knob again before grabbing it. stay at the ticket turn-in thing until there's a reason to leave (meal ready, customer ordering < you can wait for a meal to be ready before you go to get customers orders)
(btw it will take one of each type, so if you have a meal and side ticket, it will take both, but if you have 3 appetizer tickets, you will have to go back for each one. you can see which tickets you have on the top right, and if you forget, you can see how many meals each person has had based on how many plates they have on the table. if they don't have a menu, they're waiting for food.)
i hope some of this helps
Hi!! I'm sorry, I don't know where to ask about this :(
I'm experiencing issues to go through the second day because the second set of guests always appear inside the freezer, which is locked, so I cannot interact with them at all.
Is there any way I can fix the issue? Thanks in advance <:D
Hi! I'm heard some dude made bug fixed version. They wrote about this in twitter (X) https://x.com/sine_was_dead/status/1988700996713762943?s=20
I GENUINELY NEED MORE...........
The story seems quite interesting; I'm playing the Brazilian Portuguese version. (I don't know if that makes any difference with the game's controls.) For some reason, the confirmation key, Z, is simply hindering gameplay. I can't get past the first turn because, even clicking the correct key and trying every possible way, the game doesn't recognize it. Customers complain about the delay, and I fail, not because of my slowness, but because it simply doesn't work. I've tried several ways, but nothing helps. I really wanted to play and delve into the story, but with this problem, it's impossible :(
When trying to interact with objects, you need to press the arrow in the direction the object is from Rody, while pressing z.
I experienced the same problem, and thought it was really inconvenient until I realized there is a bunch of objects around to interact with in his apartment, and the arrow really helps to specify wich you're trying to get a reaction out of< it became a really likeable feature for me, hope this helps! :D
I am on mobile!!! How do you play on mobile?! /apple!/ :3
why is no one answering D:
JoiPlay
I don't think you can play this game on apple. Apple phones don't allow apk files iirc, so I don't know if you can play any game on itch. I don't know if you can install an emulator either.
not as amazing as rachels other work however its still very memorable and like idk its hard to dislike
Dead Plate was my gateway game into the beautiful work from rachealdraws things and lemme tell you, this game is absolutely STUNNING in visuals and sound track. the story is so so captivating as well, i loved every second of playing though all of the endings. (also PLEASE restock the shirts, theyre SO COOL AND I NEED ONE!!)
Uhh, I play on phone/Android and when I downloaded it I couldn't find the right file. I extracted it and did it right, I have no idea why I cant find it :((
Are you playing on joiplay? If so, i think i can help owo
Hi, are you playing on JoiPlay? I'm having a problem; on the four day, the game won't let me interact with the table :((
It might be about how close you are/what angle you're trying to interact from. Try again from other angles
Cant find the play button where is it

The atmosphere is strong, and the overall design feels clean and intentional.
