💔 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.

the game looks amazing, but I just can't get Vincent's call, I've played and replayed it thousands of times and even reinstalled it and tried again, followed the guides and everything, I wonder if I'm really stupid or if it's very difficult 😭
LOL that's crazy, I got it unintentionally both times I played 😭All I did was talk to him every day and go through all the dialogue options I could.
I guess this game just hates me then 😟 ( I will try again 😞
Beautiful game! I am so obsessed with your works. Keep up the awesome work!
i want vincent so bad i'd turn into a guy for him
but i'm normal abt him
amo dead plate, culpa da minha namorada e irmã
didn't know I could buy stuff the first time and did the whole game without any of the items lol. that was super hard and almost rage quit. the story is awesome and I love this game.
same thing happened to me!! I just barely got through a couple days lol
The amount of times I've replayed this game is ungodly. Keep makin stuff I can't survive without it!!! >w<
I originally watched someone play this on youtube and don't ask me why I also don't know but the first thought that came into my head when I saw the waiter and the chef was "there hot" and it made me have a mental breakdown because I have never thought those things in my entire life about anyone or anything
KYS
wow
Anytime i downloaded any studio investigrave game it says failed to load img/pictures😭Does anyone know whats the problem?
Do you plan to release yours on Steam in the future?
this game would be amazing if they added "WASD" as an option and made things more clear as to what you're supposed to do, tutorial for certain days, make it more polished up so you don't no clip. Basic, small clean ups would make this game more enjoyable. I liked the game over all, but dealing with the inability to use "WASD" as someone who cannot use arrow keys pisses me off a bit lol.
.
Also if many people are getting stuck/unable to beat certain sections then thats an issue that should have been fixed months ago. I have seen people upset about these things for months since the games come out and yet nothing has been fixed. I like the game, but as someone who physically cannot beat it due to the devs limitations and inability to fix certain things, I cannot play it.
it does have a serious learning curve, nobody told me I had to press up and space around the same time to interact with things.
that was in the game description here tbf :p

Hola, este juego, Dead Plate, es un exelente juego para pasar el tiempo, Realmente deberían lanzar una serie de Dead Plate 🍽️.
Pero me preguntaba si en un proyecto futuro podrían crear una versión móvil de Dead Plate para Android para aquellos de que no tenemos los dispositivos que requiere para descargarlo.
This was a good game. I liked the gameplay, story, and the characters were interesting. Rody was fun. I tripped upon getting the cutscenes because I kept running around trying to get orders and accidently entered the back kitchen. The only bug I encountered was when I completed a table on day 5 and 6, the customers didn't go the counter to pay, and just stood near the table until they left angry. Fortunately, I still got paid, it just threw me off a bit. Overall, fun game though!
Definitely going to write a review of it on my blog!
AME ESTE JUEGO LO ADORO LO AMARE X SIEMPREEE. Me encanto, me encariñe UN MONTONAZO CON LOS PERSONAJES. La historia esta BUENISIMA y es algo q te da un descanso del resto d juegos siento yo, se sintió muy autentico. Perdonenme pero Rody x Vince tiene química. Ya se que Vince le mordió la oreja blablablá pero es que esta fuerte el ship. Ame la historia, necesito mas KJADSLKD
Help I got stuck in day 6 and wasn't able to complete it :')
I loved running my cute restaurant. Good game to play for healing <3
its not a cute game...
r/whoosh
GRRR.. how dare they call game cute.. game is so scary!!!
facts
am I able to play this on my iPhone?
unless it's a mobile-friendly web game, no, you unfortunately can't! itch.io is mainly for downloadable pc games
actually, yes, you can! I play on my cell phone. you need to download 5 apps before you're able to play the windows version tho.
first you download "JoiPlay", "RPG Maker Plugin for JoiPlay", "Ren'Py Plugin for JoiPlay", "ZArchiver" and "RS File Manager". you will need to accept the conditions of "Ren'Py" and "RPG Maker" to play normally (just that boring thing you need to do everytime you install an app).
then you download the windows version of the game and, when the download is complete, you open the file on ZArchiver. from there you will click on "game name.zip" and extract it into an empty folder (it's better if you name it "game's name folder" so you won't get confused).
when you finish extracting, go to "RS File Manager" and click on the folder you created. inside it will be 'Game.exe': just click on this document and you will be able to play normally on your cell phone!
hope this helps <3
Hello,
My friends and I are doing a master's degree in Multimedia Translation in France. We are actually working on a game localization project and have to localize a video game in French. We are seeking for game developer and translate their game into French. If you are interested, let me know.

Struggling with getting Vincent to call me! I've been through lots of guides on how to get it to happen but he just isn't calling me. Any help?? Thanks
i think this is how -
1. On day three, take out the trash
2. On day four, talk to Lemon Boy (Vince) and ask first "Can you give me a raise?" and then "Do you like your job?"
3. After talking to Vince, continue working, walk back into the kitchen at a specific minute mark (after 2:30 PM)
4. After the cutscene, go talk to Vince at the back door (if you can I cant remember or not)
5. On day five, talk with Vince again and ask "What's your favorite food?" Then when it's after-hours, go to Vince's office and interact with the trash can
6. After your shift and when you go home, I THINK you should receive a phonecall from Vincent
IM LIKE 95% SURE BUT I MIGHT BE WRONG
Thank you so much! I'll try this!
Does anyone know the controls for the game? I love this game but the controls trip me up and I having them in writing would help!
You use the arrow keys to walk.
Z is to interact with things, but sometimes you will have to click the arrow keys in the direction of the thing you want to interact with and then click z, like with collecting dishes and giving the orders in.
There are some things you can click though, like when you interact with the catalogue on Rody's table, you can click to read through it and buy stuff.
Hope this helps and if you need anything else just reply <3
How to adjust the language?
Es un juego genial, no sé si solo es en la versión de español que pasa pero, en el turno 4 cuando tengo que llevar a otra mesa a los segundos clientes que llegan, no me aparece la opción para dejarlos en la mesa entonces no logro completar la cuota, por ende, pierdo el turno porque se van, llevo un tiempo intentando e incluso inicié una nueva partida desde el tutorial para ver si mejoraba, pero sigue igual, creo que podría ser un bug; necesito ayuda, no quiero abandonar la historia así :(
me pasa lo mismo! supongo que es un bug :')
Hola! Me ha pasado lo mismo en el día 4; es un error de traducción, en vez de ser una mesa para dos personas, son para cuatro personas. Me imagino que ya lo sabías por el tiempo de tu comentario, pero aún así, no esta de más contestar. Que tengas un bonito día / noche :)
Me gustaría descargar este juego pero no tengo el dispositivo necesario para descargarlo y me preguntaba si podría ponerlo a disposición para dispositivos móviles Android en el futuro.
can someone help me please? I have been trying to play this game but I can't even get past anything, it tells me that there's an error and I've been restarting it multiple times with no success (im on Mac btw)
When you download the zip file, you need to extract the zip file into a folder- and when you open the folder, drag the "game" file (only the game file not the entire folder) out from that folder and into your applications folder. Once you get the game file in the applications folder, try to open the game file there- if it doesn't open continue clicking until it does and it'll eventually let it run. If you did this the right way then your game'll be able to save and let the game run/progress normally! Try redownloading and follow those steps again? Hope this was helpful!! (this is written by creator, I also can not open it on Mac after I try this it was work)
literally unplayable. the controls doesnt work and has a lot of bugs
Not working for me.
my favorite game :3
game is unplayable, the controls are not working on PC
my game wont start on mac it said "game cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified" i just want to play i've been dying trying tofind a way !!
After getting this pop up, go to system settings -> privacy and security. In the security part, on the bottom, you will see the app. Click "open anyway". This applied to pretty munch every game I downloaded from itch.io on mac and they normally work fine after that.
Unfortunately, even after doing so, the game doesn't seem to work on mac currently, based on my experience and other comments here :( Even if I manage to open the game, nothing happens for me.
oh my god thank you for your help! But i cant opened other games like this after i opened this one
You mean you can't open other games ? That's strange. I'm sorry, I don't know what's happening :(
BRO THIS IS THE MOST GAY GAME EVER
Doesn't work on Mac
I've been wanting to play this game for a while and I loved it!
The style, the atmosphere and the story is beautiful, quickly one of my favorite games ><
Hi Rachel! For some reason when i extracted the zip i couldn't find the program named "Game" that you said in the guide. I only see "Game.exe" and "Game.exe.exe" i need assistance
It might be the .exe one. Saw another comment that said that the exe.exe is the .exe one and the .exe is actually just the game
(Im short .exe is probably the game)
i tried it. But my Z key wasn't working in the game and the customers kept disappearing every time i exit the kitchen.
and btw how long do you have to wait for when Vincent calls on the night of day 6? im trying to get that ending.
I have no clue, try checking Youtube
The Mac build doesn't work, you should probably rebuild it and then re upload it again. But the windows version works good 😄
