I was crying and suffering from loading errors, but I have solved the problem and share it with you.
This loading error is caused by the ZIP file of this game being compressed in MAC and decompressed in Windows, which incorrectly converts the file name between Shift-JIS and UTF-8, which is resolved when decompressed in UTF-8.
First download the Windows version of this game from the download page here.
Then you will get the ZIP file of this game. Do not unzip it at this point yet.
Next, install a free decompression tool from the Internet that can decompress the ZIP file in UTF-8.
(7Zip or something like that might be famous? I used CubeIce).
Note that the decompression tool that comes with Windows (such as Lhaplus) will decompress the file in Shift-JIF, so the file name will be changed. This is the cause of this loading error.
Use the decompression tool that you installed that can decompress in UTF-8 to decompress the ZIP file of this game.
Now the game will start normally because the file name can be converted correctly. (It is normal if the first cannibalism alert proceeds without clicking)
I am translating Japanese and it may not translate well. I hope you will be able to play this great hot game.
I tried to do it with CubeIce, but somehow there wasn't any Utf-8 option, sadly. I couldn't find it at last. I hope you don't mind, but could you maybe explain a little more detailed what you did?
This is so good. Seriously. I played in one long sitting today, mostly with the company of a friend. I have theories and ideas that came to mind while I was playing that I can't wait to share with him when he wakes up since his ass went to bed before we could finish together. There's so much to talk about in the environmental storytelling and what it says about Vincent. I actually think you learn more about Vincent while playing than you do Rody, even though Rody is the POV. That somehow makes it even cooler.
Played on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7. Installed on HDD that isn't my main drive and ran it with no problems. No errors, bugs, or missing files as some users have mentioned having.
I have very little negative to note but for QOL purposes:
Audio - Can't change the audio volume from the main menu and since I play on Mac without routing all my sounds through a mixer it ended up blasting my ears when I first opened it. Had to get through the tutorial to lower volume. The volume setting also is not universal to the game itself, it seems? You have to save a file in which you change the volume first for it to stick? I'm not 100% sure.
Hit-boxes on serving objects. - I've seen comments from other users mentioning that they think the tables or cleaning aren't working when they try to serve guests at the restaurant. I noticed this with one of the two-top tables and how you had to clean it from its lower side, and how specific your location relative to guests has to be to interact with them.
When you take an order while holding a plate, if the plate matches that order type, it automatically gives the plate to the guest. There isn't a note of this, you kinda just find out by accident.
Controls are a little awkward. This might be because of my setup and the size of my keyboard. I don't hold that against the game itself. It's short enough and straightforward enough that one shouldn't have to change their keybindings.
Really, really loved this. So much. I got a very satisfying and complete experience that also left me wanting more.
I had the same problem they had and i even followed the guide without messing up but it still didnt show up. Ive been waiting an actual hour now for it to come. I dont know if i was supposed to chat with the Vinc about anything else on either of the days ypur meant to talk to him but i did since there wasnt really a way to know if i could or not.
heyy! i had the exact same problem.. but i then realized the call is on day 6 and not 5. so maybe wait another day and see if you get it. yea i hope this helps!
Is it possible to download on Mac air? Ive tried but it says smt like that it does not recognize the creator or idk. Is there a way to fix it or is my Mac not good for this?
The game is really good! Main issue is that sometimes the interact key just...wont? I'll be pressing it 20 times, right up against the thing I need, and it just WONT let me grab it.
When I start the game, I get this error message. It is possible to progress by pressing retry, but the same message appears with each click.
I have found several comments with the same symptoms, so I would like to know if anyone has been able to get rid of the error message from this situation.
I am using Windows 10.
I already have my fanart ready to go but I am suffering and crying because of this error.
does anyone know why my game keeps unexpectedly crashing but when it does work and when it gets to the show up at shift at 5am (tutorial) like part it gives me an error.. I play on a Mac so I understand it might just be a Mac problem but I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this
i had this problem to and after a bit of digging in the comments i found that if you open the game in your finder then drag the game itself (the Minecraft block thingy) to applications then open it it'll probably work
hey uh, I've downloaded the game and I open it... it works for a few moments but then shuts down saying unknown error, I've tried it a number of times does anyone know what to do?
I LOVE THIS GAME SM!! The control were a little hard to get used to (I prefer the ASWD format) but it only took me a few runs to familiarize myself with it! Took me a while to get all the ending and sooo worth it!! Everything from the music, game play and the characters themselves were awesome! And imagine my surprise when i fed the rat (⊙_⊙)
This game’s aesthetics, visuals, and character designs are fantastic. I love the setting and dynamic between the leads. Which is why I’m so torn about finding the rest of the game lacking. The janky gameplay controls being frustrating is the most severe drawback. Other than fixing the controls, I think adding an easy mode or a hint regarding the catalogue would help alleviate this.
I like what I see of the story so far but I think there could be just… more. When I saw the endings, I could only think, “That’s it?” I was expecting some world building or characterization and relationship development, then ended up finding everything superficial. The homoerotic cannibalism drew me in, especially after playing a similar game, so it’s a little disappointing that their story felt incomplete at the end. Rody and Vince’s relationship is easily the most compelling aspect of this game, so more content of them would be appreciated.
Still, I look forward to your future works due to the interesting concepts and top-notch art.
Does anyone know how long customers wait until leaving? I can't beat day 2 bc they keep leaving too quick for me :( Or do u guys have any tips on how to manage the customers for day 2 (Im lit so bad at this game 😭)
anybody know why this keeps crashing? im playing on a mac which usually has issues like this with other games, if anybody knows how to fix this it'd b greatly appreciated
Please make an easier mode! The colliders are super confusing, but I love this game I just can't play it, it's so hard, and I waste time by missing to click on the right spot.
AHHH I REALLY LOVE THIS GAME!! Even though I had to play 7hours to finish the entire game IT WAS WORHT ITTT!! (I forget that I have sprint on shift and I didn't realize that this catalogue was interactable and I could buy upgrades so i played this 7 days without sprint and buffs BUT I MADE IT EVEN SO (after second run I realize that I have sprint and buffs so it came faster to get 2nd, 3rd and 4th ending) but yeah!!! I love this story and hope for more!!!!!
i really want to ask if the bug with object interaction is gonna be fixed cuz i really love the artstyle, story but the gameplay makes me flustrated when im trying to interacts with the surroundings and it just doesnt work :'(((
This CG/easter egg is not a part of the official game and it doesn't exist, we didn't work on this art. I've realized some videos on Youtube say it's a part of the game but it's misinformation and they shouldn't be trusted.
ive run into a glitch where once the costumers are ready to pay, instead of standing up at the cash register, they just stand up where they were sitting. this makes me unable to take their money and after a little bit they leave due to me taking too long. my friend said that the same thing has been happening for them too.
The BL lover in me is currently dreaming for a way to date Vincent. Maybe to get an ending like this you would have to eat the leftover that you get every day and tell Vincent your thoughts. By being the perfect employee and asking Vincent more about himself then on the 6/7th day Vincent would invite you over just for the sake of inviting you over. You both are currently sitting down, eating a meal that Vincent prepared. After excusing yourself from the table you decide to go and be nosy and look around Vincent’s room. When you look out the window you see your “Ex Girlfriend”. Being spooked by this you talk to Vincent a bit more about her. As you sit back down at the table Vincent stands up and starts to fix the mcs hair and clothes while the questions he starts to ask the MC about himself, his ex girlfriend and cooking become more personal. I can imagine an ending where Vincent shows some of the Ex girlfriend love letter note and frames her in an awful light. “She used me as a rebound and now she’s onto the next guy” and Vincent gets to be the amazing shoulder to cry on while the mc bawls his eyes out. This ending could be “Ignorance is bliss” and you get this by believing everything that Vincent says. I think this ending would end in a kiss 😘 my goodness I have issues and read too much Bl
This is a cool concept and all but I can't possibly imagine this being implemented due to this game being a horror/psychological (+strategy?) game rather than a dating/romance simulator. This would more so be a concept for a fan-game or fanfic than the actual canon itself. No hate, of course, I like this concept a lot and I myself like the Rody and Vincent pairing, but its just not very realistic
Oh definitely, that paragraph was mainly my fan fiction reading brain going “……..what if……”. I’m also kind of a sucker for romance stories that have horror or darker aspects. Logically in the time the story is set there’s a pretty low chance the couple would work, pair that with murder and eating people and yeah…BUT a girl can dream of a spin off or fan fiction with different endings and romance
ok what the fuck is this absolute horse manure. youre gonna tell me you want a BL ENDING TO THIS and YOURE A WOMAN who READS TOO MUCH BL. nah. THIS IS TOO FAR. I am smelling FETISHIZER and you need to go outside immediately and rub up on some grass. do you realize how fucking insane you sound talking about a romantical storyline with a fucking cannibalistic murderer. and talkint anout jow comforting he would be, when he displays ABSOLUTELY NO COMFORTING QUALITIES and he is DRY AS FUCK in conversation. he does not care about ANYONE, honestly, especially people who make mistakes BECAUSE HE ALMOST BURNED A COOKS FACE OFF BECAUSE HE MADE A MISTAKE, AND JUST BECAUSE YOY FIND OUT HES CANONICALLY GAY YOU COME UP IN HERE WITH THIS NASTY FUCKING FETISHY COMMENT. THIS IS A HORROR GAME NOT SOMETHING TO FULFILL YOUR WEIRD FANTASIES.AND ANOTHER THING why are all of you creepy fucks talking about shipping rody and vince WHEN NEITHER OF THEM DISPLAY ANY SIGN OF BEING ROMANTICALLY INTERESTED IN ONE ANOTHER, let alone being PLATONICALLY, like they are not even friends!!!??? youre telling me you want them to be in a romantic relationship even after knowing that vince murdered rody’s ex girlfriend and tried to feed her remains to him in order to gain his sense of taste back after also WANTING TO MURDER RODY AND COOK AND EAT HIM. HE BIT OFF HIS FUCKING EAR AND RODY WAS ANDOLUTRLY FINISHED HE WAS REPULSED BY THIS MAN, HE STABBED HIM IN THE NECK WITH A FUCKING BOTTLE AND SET HIM ON FIRE AND YOU WANT THEM TO KISS AND GO ON CUTE LITTLE DATES LIKE THATS A FUCKING NORMALCTHING TO WANT??? NO!!! THATS DISGUSTING AND ALL OF YOU SHOULD BE DEEPLY ASHAMED TO YOUR CORE. i swear, in games like these, theres always these fucks who see two men and immediately want them to fall in love SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE MEN and this is MOSTLY WOMEN WHO WANT THIS because THEYRE FUCKING FETISHIZERS who dont give a FUCK about the actual story.
whoa buddy chill...im a guy too and i found the pairing of what if they got together intriguing. ofc it wont be realistic and if it had to happen it'll be a very twisted ending like rody is in ignorance while vincent prolly did kill the ex...which is not a good outcome either but relax ofc i get the fetishisation part but i dont think the op meant it that way.

can we pleaseeee get an ending with rody and vince dating????????????????????
if cannibal why hot
Real-
I'm playing right now, and it's super good, but the Day 6 difficulty spike makes me cry uncontrollably.
This is so good. Seriously. I played in one long sitting today, mostly with the company of a friend.

GOOD LIRD!!!! such a good game!!
hello, when you do all the things instructed in day five, you will get a call afterwards in your apartment.
I had the same problem they had and i even followed the guide without messing up but it still didnt show up. Ive been waiting an actual hour now for it to come. I dont know if i was supposed to chat with the Vinc about anything else on either of the days ypur meant to talk to him but i did since there wasnt really a way to know if i could or not.

Is it possible to download on Mac air? Ive tried but it says smt like that it does not recognize the creator or idk. Is there a way to fix it or is my Mac not good for this?
Right-click on the .app and choose “open” from the menu. MacOS does this for applications that aren’t from the App Store.
thanks, it says smt that its a risk opening which is kinda terrifying, but your tip worked even tho I think I've tried it.
It says that about any download of a game that isn't from the app store lol
oh okay lol, thanks I didn't know
oh okay lol, thanks I didn't know
good game but for some reason in the tutorial it won't let me clean the table
i love this game so much, its literally my new hyperfixation 😭
literally, im addicted
I cannot stop thinking about it, its crazy
The game is really good! Main issue is that sometimes the interact key just...wont? I'll be pressing it 20 times, right up against the thing I need, and it just WONT let me grab it.
I think there might be a problem with the game... a lot of people are getter errors and I am too :(
please let me know when it's fixed
I have found several comments with the same symptoms, so I would like to know if anyone has been able to get rid of the error message from this situation.
I am using Windows 10.
I already have my fanart ready to go but I am suffering and crying because of this error.
I keep on getting this error, what can I do? (Mac)
im a mac user, you have to put the game into the applications area of the finder application i think, idk
Игра очень интересная и необычная по рисовке, но для меня сложновато)))
Does it also work with the W,A,S,D keys?
One of my arrows is broken
No it doesnt, when i first got the game i immediately tried to use them but it didnt work.
dang-
does anyone know why my game keeps unexpectedly crashing but when it does work and when it gets to the show up at shift at 5am (tutorial) like part it gives me an error.. I play on a Mac so I understand it might just be a Mac problem but I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this

nvm i figured it out this is a great game

Real
The game got me to scream and everything. Also, I love Rody and fuck Vince

Does anyone know how long customers wait until leaving? I can't beat day 2 bc they keep leaving too quick for me :( Or do u guys have any tips on how to manage the customers for day 2 (Im lit so bad at this game 😭)
I recommend equipping the cologne, it makes the customers stay for a bit longer! and when you move hold down shift to sprint. :D
it wont let me pick up the food
anybody know why this keeps crashing? im playing on a mac which usually has issues like this with other games, if anybody knows how to fix this it'd b greatly appreciated

Does anyone know how to get the easter egg after shift on day 3 ? This one:
This CG/easter egg is not a part of the official game and it doesn't exist, we didn't work on this art. I've realized some videos on Youtube say it's a part of the game but it's misinformation and they shouldn't be trusted.
Oh! Thank you for that info! :)
ive run into a glitch where once the costumers are ready to pay, instead of standing up at the cash register, they just stand up where they were sitting. this makes me unable to take their money and after a little bit they leave due to me taking too long. my friend said that the same thing has been happening for them too.
the same was been happening to me, i just closed the game and then booted it back up and it was working again
what was used to make this game? i'm a little new to game development, but my guess is some form of python(or made in rpg maker)
i think it's made in rpg maker. the game executables icon is the icon of rpg maker mv
