💔 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.

It looks so cool but the controls are so confusing sometimes it randomly doesnt work for me and worst i cant get it in full screen
Love the game!! Can you please put it on android to tho? 😅
I love this game so much and I'm obsessed of it HAHAHA
I swear, this game is such a masterpiece, but the controls are just terrible. I couldnt pass the tutorial, and now I cant pass the normal day. and I tried everything, pressing z, enter, space, etc. But it just wont work, if someone could tell me what to do when i get stuck ill be grateful. Just hope they fix this because its so difficult for me to enjoy the game with this
This has been happening for me too, I can barely interact with anything.
Wait nevermind I found out how to do it. You have to be moving with one of the arrow keys while pressing Z
yess, thank you, it worked for me!!
Love this game! It's deffinitly one of my favourites. Really happy for the guide as I get stuck often and then I get pissy :( Really like the main characters, Vincent is fun to talk to and Rody reminds me of myself few years ago
Por favor haz que este juego sea disponible para Android por favor 🙏🙏🥺
The controls are a little janky at times and having to use a windows virtual machine to play it made it a little more frustrating, but it was very much worth the effort. I really enjoyed the story and the audio and visuals were very nice.
I get the hype. This game w its art n music is great! Though the controls can be a bit wonky sometimes. The game was incredibly hard for me when I first played but after a while I got used to the controls. Great game again!
ayuda, como lo descargo en español, lo intento con el archivo que hay, pero al momento de descargarlo me aparece como un reproductor VLC.
I´ve just finished the tutorial, for persons who is having problems to leave orders or getting the food, for orders just go to the place what is in the middle of the door of the kitchen and the window. whwn u are there press z and the up bottom whit u move, for hgetting the food, same buttom z and the other one
It looks so cool but the controls are so confusing sometimes it randomly doesnt work for me and worst i cant get it in full screen
I cant get past day two ToT the customers are so impatient ist
eso mismo me pasa a mi JAJAJA creo que es pq soy demasiado lento idk

hello !!
i've downloaded the game as a friend recommend it to me. I'm very hyped to play, but sadly it crashed just after the tutorial :^( does anyone had the same issue ? im gonna try to restart the game. Anyway, i really like the gameplay so far and the ost !!
Can you please make it playable in browser</3
Vince and Rody are incredible characters! So much depth and I've only scratched the surface of this incredible game!! I've recorded myself doing a playthrough if that intrigues anyone, however I do also highly recommend checking this game out for yourself, def don't lemme rob you of that luxury if you are interested in playing!!
MAKE THIS AVAILABLE ON ANDROID AND MY LIFE IS YOURS 🙏🙏🙏🙏

was not able to get past the first bit of tutorial, it would barely let me interact with the two customers and i was not able to put the meal ticket in. tried arrows, Z, space, clicking, etc. :(

I am having the same problem, I don't know why I'm not able to put the meal ticket in. I've done everything for the controls that others have told me to.
