💔 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.

Amazing game, and I highly recommend people try it out. 🙂
BEST GAME EVER 10/10 I WANT MORE GAMES LIKE THIS, AND MORE ENDINGS, I HAD SO MUCH FUN PLAYING THIS, I SAW THIS FROM A YOUTUBER I LOVE KUBZ SCOUTS. AND I HAD TO PLAY IT. I GOT EVERY SINGLE ENDING. I WISH I COULD RATE THIS ON ITCHIO BUT I DONT KNOW HOW BUT TO THE FUTURE PLAYERS IF U SEE THIS, THIS GAME IS THE BEST. AND I DEFFINITLY RECOMMEND IT. I HOPE TO FIND MORE GAMES BY YOU THAT ARE FREE BECAUSE IM BROKE AS A JOKE, AND ON ITCHIO FOR MAC BC THATS THE ONLY THING I HAVE LOL 😭
It won't let me pick up a plate to serve the customers :(
Every time I try and download the game it always tells me around a quarter into downloading that the file isn't available on the site.
same here
love the characters !
i am starting to tweak out cus first i have very little emotion regulation and second ive done 10 new games and not once will the kicthen take my freaking order. I've gotten out and back in, listened to google. Don't even try, just freaking fix thisssss (or tell me howww) T-T (sobs) im windows btw | it only works once in the tutorial and none afterwards (like nothing even if i skip tutorial)
i googled my name and this came up, lmfao
yes I have the same issue after I gave up trying on my windows computer because I couldn't turn in the tickets
hey i’m having the same problem as well! is there anyway to fix it?
I really want to play it and I’ve downloaded it, but it’s not working? How do you do it 😭
Hi I'm at the part where I'm supposed to cater to the guests at the dinner party, but whenever I try to pick up a different plate, it doesn't work, even after catering to the guests. Can someone please help?
idk if u already understood, but it should give u the option to place the plate back. you just go to the exact place where the plate was firstly placed and press z <33
This was a fun little horror game. I only got to cover the first ending in this video, but I enjoyed it. Would be following up with another video, when I could record the other endings. 🙂
Hi ! i don't know if it's my computer but everytime i try to pick up an order i just can't ? it's impossible to pick it up, but ordering and anything else with the "z" touch works perfectly well...
I don't know if you solved your problem. But I noticed you have to push the direction/movement button towards what you wanted to interact with, and press Z at the same time. Or at least that's what helped me when I was having the same issue.
Hope it helps.
thx a lot ! i'll try it !
No problem. Hope it helps. 🙂
Hey there, I don't know if it's my computer, but every game I've played by this developer, I've been unable to save. The save file options that each game has don't work for me. I've tried everything and I'm not sure what to do.
I use a Mac to play the game, and when I try to save, I hear the file system working, but the game fails to save the file. So, if I want to achieve multiple endings, I often have to replay the full game multiple times.
If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate that. Thank you!
Help, intento descargar el juego pero me aparece que "no esta en el sitio" ¿Es un error o simplemente soy menso?
Manon: I was in love with two people one who was super nice!but he was poor the other super rich but cold and killed me the worst is he was gay and fell in love with my ex....and
atenicely touched his earRody: he killed the love of my life so I killed him and burned him....he tried to make me cannibal!I became an arsonist
Vincent: I cant taste I wanted to eat my crush }toga is that you?} and I killed his GF and he did'nt eat my food how dare he!i gave him her heart I dontregret it even if i died burned/killed him i'll haunt him/he and Manon will haunt me
cannibalism as a metaphor for love: the game
(its so good play it guys)
Vincent ate(litteraly)
love this game soooooooo much replaying it after a year its rlly great
I completely agree with mitakeji the art style and the way the characters are presented in the game is amazing please don't stop making your games as they are some of my favourites to play I do have suggestion though can you make longer games as the longer they are you could add lots of information and meanings behind them as that's what caches my eye and I think some people might also like it i also dont mind if they are short though
anyways Rachel please don't stop making your games and thank you for the ones you have made as the games make me happy to play them
EU PRECISO DESSE JOGO NA STEAM URGENTEMENTEEEE
great game, but the shop feature is missing so i could only get one four endings
are you sure? the catalogue is beside the phone in rody's place, u can buy stuff there
heard a lot about this game and im so glad i went in this blind!! love the artstyle and the story was really nice.
the minigame itself though can be kind of...challenging? the difficulty curve(? i think thats what its called) kind of spikes up by A LOT by days 4-5, then calms down on day 6 again. i just barely complete the quota most of the time...but anyway, still a great game! storytelling, artstyle, dialogue, everything. i love how all the characters feel alive :] thank u for this game my guy
Эта хуйня непроходима я не вывожу
I saw LaurenZSide play this on Youtube a while ago and I loved it!! Keep it up. Also love the art :3
esta bien bueno el juego y los personajes tambien, uno de los mejores que he jugado
作者简直是神！其他几款同作者的游戏也玩过了，真的很喜欢他们团队的作品！(❤´艸｀❤)
啊啊啊我天你也玩这个
我的天是你！又遇到啦！\(￣︶￣*\))
Unfortunately i can't really play the game because there is too MANY bugs in there which i get really pissed off and deleted the game.., really like the lore tho.
I really like this art style.
我喜欢这个游戏
This was genuinely a fun play! Although, i did feel frustrated with the waiter minigame. Only handling one plate and putting in the orders one at a time with short-fused customers did not make me look forward for the other days lol. but i digress, story wise it's incredible and I'm instantly in love with Vince's off-putting personality and Rody's silly himbo brain. Some parts genuinely gave me a scare and the part where you have to act quick after escaping made me have a heart attack (I KNEW THE SPRINT EFFECT HAD A PURPOSE. I DREADED THAT)
Annnnnnd okay okay, I barely see anyone talk about the characters here. Anyways, my take on Vince is that he actually does "care" about Rody? Maybe using the word "care" is pushing it, but he does seem to favor Rody more based on the dinner party dialogue. I think it's sweet of Vince to shield Rody from the truth about his service getting criticized in the news article (and upon further inspection in Vince's office, even his details get erased by Vince in the newspaper. ) But at the same time Vince is just sooo blunt and often rude when speaking like poor Rody hahahah. That's gotta be rough. But compared to how brutal he was towards his line cooks, Rody's treated more "better" if that even counts. Love that Vince secretly does care about Rody, and yet expresses it in the worst way possible. I hope we can get an ending where Rody and him get into an understanding and date each other (in a very toxic way).
Anyways love love loove this game sm! The art is so pretty! And the music horrifying. It made me remember why I love RPG game likes these. Thank you for creating Dead Plate <3
I totally agree with yah!!
I like the style of painting which is so cute, and the bad endings also made me a little down.
Hola buenas, disculpenme pero como le hicieron para pasar el dia 4 :c yo no puedo, aparece una clienta queriendo una mesa para dos y no puedo elegir la mesa. Asi que solo me queda una pareja, y con ella no alcanzo la meta :c
comentario re tarde pero intentaste con el tip jar? a veces me servía eso
guys how the black veil brides can i run the game i tried everything, NOTHING worked everytime i click on the game file only EXTRACT ALL and RUN pops up. i extracted it and redownloaded maybe like 7 times atleast, and ive been doing that since sunday because my moron brain forgot laptop password and i had to reset it, anyways, i also tried copying and pasting the game into my screen but that did NOT work. Like 3 friends tried to help and couldnt. I JUST WANNA PLAY MZ FAV GAME GFGGFFRGF. Ok anyways, Happy Easter to anyone that celebrates cuz i dont.
are you trying to run the compressed(zipped) file or the file folder?
You mean, when you open it after the menu? It happened with me too (I kinda panicked lol). Are you immediately putting it in full scree? try not to put it, helped for em at least
Unfortunately I can't finish the game after the day 4 because is too frutrating between : Approximate detection, trash too far for dead plate, delay too short even with the watch, etc... It's a shame because I liked the atmosphere weirder and weirder with the mix between "restaurant game" and psychological horror.
A
just played this to completion and got all the endings and holy shit I like this so much, I love horror games so I decided to try this one and i wasn't disappointed
I suck so much at articulating what specifically I like about things but I'm such a sucker for psychologically unsettling villains who kill and eat (debatable in vince's case but still) people
Does the app 'Game' have malware on it? It says it can't verify it doesn't
based on your system search on google how to verify it. It' s because since its a game from a small app creator your pc cant identify the author to make sure its safe. A lot of itch.io games will require u to do that. if u're on mac lemme know and ill help you.
I am on a mac, and this the first time I've encountered this problem, more information would be helpful. Thank you.
Okay so, first u go to the apple icon on the top left of your screen, after you go to settings, should be the 2nd voice from the top, after you click on privacy and security, the name might not be completely the same but im translating from my italian pc, then once u clicked on that you scroll completely until you find a voice that will say something like: this game was blocked from opening because of... open anyways? and you will have a button saying open anyways. you click that and then there you have it. make sure that before you do all this you have opened the file and it told u that it couldn't be opened because ur pc cant verify it. If you have any more questions let me know.
I that Mathew from utgl in your pfp
yea! i started reading it when s1 was still updating and then waited for 2 years for a season 2 that was promised the past year in July. 😰 Just to find out season 2 is full of normalised r*pe
