I do recommend this, the only problem is the controls. Sometimes I have to double click and with the time limit, it makes the came extremely frustrating. Plot and characters are perfect, but the controls make me angry. I would also prefer the WASD keys instead of the arrow keys too, definitely not use to this kind of gameplay, but its still fun. Been spending awhile on shift 6...
So, you can only place at a certain angle, aka from above or on top of the table, and you have to click up or down depending on which table and press Z.
I dowloaded the game for Mac but it won't let me continue past the choosing when to come in screen (5:30 for tutorial, 6:00 for skip and sleep in for auto progress) it just says "UnknownError: Error: EROFS: read-only file system, mkdir" and then some more stuff I don't get,
is there sm I can do to get it to work? thank you!
tried playing it on Mac - it either immediately shuts down, or when I get in, it says an image hasn't loaded and I can't even step further than the control tutorial page.
Anybody else had issues with this, or know how to help fix this? I really want to play..
raahhh bdfsun9uncivnd the best game ever.. always loved their games and it gets even better every time i play one of their games, it's always so interesting!
Does anyone else have problems with the game not launching? I wanted to play it on my Steam Deck, I have played other Itch.io games on Steam Deck without a problem, but no matter what I do, the game won't launch. I tried playing it on my laptop today and had the same problem.
Been a fan of Studio Investigrave since Eloquent Countenance so you can imagine how thrilled I was to recognize the art style when this game began getting popular after release. Aside from a few control issues, Dead Plate is a pure DELIGHT to play !!! Ended up doing a full playthrough over night, lost track of time, and STILL don't regret the accidental all-nighter because of the storyline :]] I'm super excited to see what the next project will be and if anyone is reading this, HIGHLY suggest playing the game and supporting the creators !! :DD
Very interesting game! I can't wait to see more. I am currently playing it and only just started, but I'll update my review here the further I continue playing. So far, I love the art style and the overall vibe :)))
HALLOOOOOOO. so quick question... i just downloaded the game and looked over the controls and im trying to complete the tuto, yet the Z button doesn't really work. i have to click it AGGRESSIVELY to finally get what i need..
I love the story and the game is well made. The horror was not what made me cry. I was sobbing and apologizing to pixel customers because I am but one man trying to serve them all fast enough. I was failing miserably. I am very much not good at this. That is a personal skill issue. The game is 10/10.
I usually don't leave comments on games I've played.. BUT SERIOUSLY, HOW COULD I NOT?? The characters were fleshed out, the soundtrack was a banger, and the overall gameplay mechanic was addicting.. After I finished the game I was seriously second guessing in deleting it since I haven't had that much enjoyment in a such a short indie game. Absolutely wonderful game, devs!
i have this issue where sometimes once the clients are done and are ready to pay, they just stand beside their table and I'm unable to check them out or interact with them in any way, so they end up leaving without tipping. Has this happened to anyone else? Or am I just doing something wrong lol
I installed the game a couple of says before and i've had issues with interacting with customers, orders and tables :( I think it's a problem related to the gam
I had the same problem, if you find it hard to interact with the tables and such, press the up button (the button on your keyboard with an arrow pointing up) and then click the space bar and it should let you. If this doesnt work you're probably pressing in the wrong area and not lined up properly with the thing you want to interact with. Hope this helps! (also ik this post was months ago but also for newer players
so like.... exactly what should i do when im trying to give the chefs an order? Bc like, im playin the tut, and it the tut, it wont really allow me to turn in the orders at all, AND I HAVE WANTED TO PLAY IS SB BUT IT WONT LET ME TURN IN ORDERS-
not sure how you're trying to give the chefs the orders, but the way that you're meant to do it is to interact with the lever looking thing by the shelf with curtains. if it doesn't work you might need to press the up arrow then the interact key so the game knows what you're trying to interact with.
if you've been doing all that i have no advice for you lol
Absolutely LOVE this game. The art, characters, story, and the game play is so much fun. I love diner style games and the horror elements were wonderful!
Main issues I have tho, really need that bug fixed where you can't interact with stuff unless ur like, cornered to them. makes interacting with tables and people really hard/tedious/waste seconds trying to find the sweet spot.
Second, the keyboard controls are, in my opinion, awful. Maybe it's because I'm used to WASD and any right sided buttons being the interact buttons, but arrow keys for movement, then Z,X, and left shift for sprint for the left hand? Totally made everything more challenging than necessary... I recommend letting players re-map buttons for comfort if possible. Also controller compatibility would absolutely MAKE this game for me <3
Im playing with controller cause my arrow kys are BROKEN.. but its ABSOLUTELY KILLING THE SHIT OUT OF MY NERVES HOW I CANNOT INTERACT WITH ANYTHING IN DAY 3.. I retried playing this day at least 7 times.. but still... NOTHING WORKS... I.. I need the devs of this game to fix this issue cause.. I just can't do anything at this point..
FINISHING ALL THE ENDINGS AND COMPLETING IT HAS LEFT A VOID IN MY HEART THAT I CANNOT FILL AND THEREFORE I SHALL ACTUALLY GO INTO MY CLOSET AND NEVER LEAVE AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR THE MASTERPIECE.
adored this game, fully completed it in one sitting i was that hooked! amazing visuals and soundtrack and really fun characters! tycoon gameplay was a good level of challenging too imo- totally recommend !!! <3
i dont get the call?.. i did all the actions required up until day 5 unknowingly in my first playthrough and got the first ending, i re-did the game from zero in a seperate file just to make sure, re-did all the actions claimed as needed in the official guide, currently on day 7 and i cannot enter the freezer.
I need help, I don't know if i'm just dumb but I downloaded the game and when I get to the tutorial I can't walk. My WASD Keys aren't doing anything, the only key that works is the X
They're prob left-handed? which is more weird how they didn't add a left-handed part in setting and the game is pretty glitchy like either enter or z when interacting barely works the game developer really needs to fix that fr
I am in love with this game! Unfortunately, I'm unable to equip anything when heading into a shift so the later days are extremely difficult and hard to complete. Reloaded multiple saves and still no change and no idea if it's me or maybe a bug :(
I've already played this game on PC, it's super cool, but I have an important question: will there be an Android version?😅i just really enjoyed this game so i wonder if i can play it on my android someday
The game can be clunky at times and the controls took some time to get used to, but I enjoyed this game! I highly recommend playing it without watching any gameplay beforehand! The game isn't TERRIFYING but it can be jarring and leave you feeling anxious or cold.
Honestly..! This game is great! It takes some time to get used to the controls though because I mainly play games with the WASD mechanic but its great. I've played it for a while but only got the steak ending... I'll watch a few tutorials and see where it leads me :D
I can only interact (such as talking), but not clicking. (such as putting the orders and picking up the plates, it worked at the first time but ONLY putting the orders)

Same problem as the Leifer person,

Yes I've been having this problem too! I tried following what they suggested but that didnt do anything either.

Vincent may have been the one named Vincent but he sure Vincent van gogh'd Rody's ear(This Post will be updated more in future)
HALLOOOOOOO. so quick question... i just downloaded the game and looked over the controls and im trying to complete the tuto, yet the Z button doesn't really work. i have to click it AGGRESSIVELY to finally get what i need..
is this a personal problem or a lag? :')
but i am superrr excited to play
Same, it's not working. I can't seat anyone in the tutorial l. :(
samee ;(

Yeah not defaulting to WASD for movement always just boggles my mind. My poor right wrist was cramped by day two, couldn't keep playing. :\
Im playing with controller cause my arrow kys are BROKEN.. but its ABSOLUTELY KILLING THE SHIT OUT OF MY NERVES HOW I CANNOT INTERACT WITH ANYTHING IN DAY 3.. I retried playing this day at least 7 times.. but still... NOTHING WORKS... I.. I need the devs of this game to fix this issue cause.. I just can't do anything at this point..
Why did I write "kys" instead of "keys" LMFSO
FINISHING ALL THE ENDINGS AND COMPLETING IT HAS LEFT A VOID IN MY HEART THAT I CANNOT FILL AND THEREFORE I SHALL ACTUALLY GO INTO MY CLOSET AND NEVER LEAVE AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR THE MASTERPIECE.
adored this game, fully completed it in one sitting i was that hooked! amazing visuals and soundtrack and really fun characters! tycoon gameplay was a good level of challenging too imo- totally recommend !!! <3
spoiler for the endings?? but ive got an issue..
i dont get the call?.. i did all the actions required up until day 5 unknowingly in my first playthrough and got the first ending, i re-did the game from zero in a seperate file just to make sure, re-did all the actions claimed as needed in the official guide, currently on day 7 and i cannot enter the freezer.
help
I love this game so much.
I need help, I don't know if i'm just dumb but I downloaded the game and when I get to the tutorial I can't walk. My WASD Keys aren't doing anything, the only key that works is the X
you use the arrow keys my dawg :p
They're prob left-handed? which is more weird how they didn't add a left-handed part in setting and the game is pretty glitchy like either enter or z when interacting barely works the game developer really needs to fix that fr
I LOVE THIS GAME SM!!!!!!!!!!!
I am in love with this game! Unfortunately, I'm unable to equip anything when heading into a shift so the later days are extremely difficult and hard to complete. Reloaded multiple saves and still no change and no idea if it's me or maybe a bug :(
u need to buy the items first, u can buy them from the magazine on rodys table in his apartment when you finish a shift!
Oh! Thank you! I had no idea the magazine was interactable, lmao
I've already played this game on PC, it's super cool, but I have an important question: will there be an Android version?😅i just really enjoyed this game so i wonder if i can play it on my android someday
You can, with joyplay
literally cannot get past day 1 - the two first customers that come in leave immediately, cannot take orders fast enough for them. its awful
The game can be clunky at times and the controls took some time to get used to, but I enjoyed this game! I highly recommend playing it without watching any gameplay beforehand! The game isn't TERRIFYING but it can be jarring and leave you feeling anxious or cold.

I can only interact (such as talking), but not clicking. (such as putting the orders and picking up the plates, it worked at the first time but ONLY putting the orders)
Please fix this problem, ty. <3
i had a troblem thorough the game and the tutorial where i wasnt able to pick up the dishes and it kept making me unable to play it
Hey. You need to point rody's head at the plate (cover the plate), and then press and hold the up arrow and interact with z!
Game is so fun and story is amazing... I wish there was an infinite mode of some sort to just keep serving
WAIT... you mean to tell me there is not an ending where they are passionately making out ???
HELP??
Uninstalled ToT (jkjk)
where is the like comment button? LOL
when i try to start the tutorial i get an "UnknownError" "Error: EROFS: read-only file system, mkdir." i am on mac
Me too, I don't know if its to do with playing on mac
Wait so were the love letters in vinces trash can from manon ? So she liked him but he didn't care ??? Was that him in the photo with manon 😭
Yes. Vincent dated Manon some time before Rody got hired as his waiter. And that was Manon in the picture with him, it's why Rody was so shocked
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH THE ARTSTYLE IS SO COOL AND ALL THE ENDINGS ARE FUN AND THE WAITER MINI GAME IS ALSO SUPER DUPER FUN
