💔 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.

I may or may not know a lot ab this game cus i found a (gay) video on capcut w em and i tried to find the game and then saw a video of smokeebee playing it and then found it here and now im happy
smokeebee mention
Yup:)
It was so fun! I usually don't replay games after completion but I'm planning to replay because it was too fun to deliver the dishes (day 6 becomes managable after completing it once lol). Dead Plate may be a short game, but it takes a lot of space in my brain.
Also, I love the artstyle! It inspired me to draw more cartoonishly(?) that I overcame my persistent art block lol
loved this game so so much, I had a lot of fun with the gameplay!! Even though the controls were a bit hard to get used to at first and sadly the game did bug a few times, the character building and storytelling were done so well i forgot all about the little hiccups xx
definitly has a lot of replay value + will make you want to check out the creators other games too!!!!!
will there be a port for Linux as I would like to have a portable dead plate console I would probably port it to bazzite distro first.
Day 6 is making me crash out so hard help
The game is interesting, although for me it was more funny than intense. I couldn't figure out the controls for a long time, but here's a tip for those starting out: press the up arrow and z (if the object you want to interact with is at the top).
kinda stressful but i still liked the story and the characters
I NEED YAOI ENDINFEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEAE
the game seems really fun when I watch it online but for some reason, it won't let me take the peoples orders, so I can't progress. Someone please tell me if I'm doing something wrong, whenever I walk around them their "!" goes away and I can't take their order.
Try moving closer to the visitor or going around them from the other side. Hold down the arrow key and then press z. That's what I did))
loved the game!
BRO PLEASE PUT AN EASY MODE FOR THIS IM LITERALLY SOBBING AFTER FAILING DAY SIX FAR TOO MANY TIMES
i would love for a wasd option
Arrow key movement is a bit inconvenient on my laptop, so I’d really like it if there was a Controls/Keybinds plugin for the game so I can set my own controls ;v;
I love this soooo much!BUT it's a bit challenging for those with less dexterous fingers~(like me,haha!
PLEASE make a linux version and my life shall be yours studio investigrave
dead plate is my absolute favorite, it is indeed PEAK. I love the art style, so much, this goes for all of the other games the author has made!!!
This is probably my favorite horror game of all time
I love this game so much and felt bad for Rody in ALL ENDINGS! ^-^ (P.D: was there some BL ending that didn't get released? Just asking because I heard it somewhere and want someone to confirm it, thank you!).
Please make an Andriod Version if you ca
does anyone know why the customers always get stucked/bugged when theyre trying to pay?? I keep failing day 6 cuz of that
very good role play game!
Loving the game! The music and gamplay is very entertaining!
I got all endings! I followed your guide <3
NOW, after getting the whole story, this is an AMAZING game. Love Rody! 11/10. I wont spoil anything but this was such a fun and twisty ride!You make some of the best visual novels ❤️🥰 Cant wait for more!!
very good boy!

Eu achei que tinha um romance entre o pessonagem do jogo

MacOs 15.6.1 the game crashes with "Unknown Error EROFS: read-only file system" making a directory ..../Game.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/save/
POR FAVOR PONGALO PARA ANDROID SE LOS RUEGO 😿😿
This is why I would rather clean nursery toilets than work in food service.

For those stuckyou have to use the z/spacebar WHILE HOLDING the directional keys like up/down/left/right or WASD
There are no other versions of this game do not trust those bot links in the comments.

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!!
