very fun game !! The art style and music really sell it for me and I love the different shades of all the different characters, especially Manon. I loved getting to know them all.
The work sequences were very fun with just the right amount of difficulty! I loved how unique each customer, and day, felt.
I had alot of fun Playing Dead Plate. The game play and panicking that people were going to leave seemed too real for me. I really loved the story, art style and dialog. (Team Vince hehe)
Thank you to the production team for making this wonderful game! !
The story, game system, pixel illustrations, character illustrations, music, etc. were all great! !
I'm Japanese and don't understand English, but I managed to get the conversation going with Google Translate!
I love this game!
I'm not good at horror, but I saw this game on X (Twitter) and immediately decided to play it.
I especially liked the illustrations and character designs!
I especially like Vince as a character! ! !
I play a variety of games, so I have good gameplay skills. It was certainly a difficult game to operate, but after collecting the endings, I became good enough to complete the game on the last day.
I think buying items will lower the difficulty a little and make it easier to clear.
(I'm reporting a bug that occurred once when I failed the game on the 6th day and progressed without starting over.)
Please continue to make wonderful games! We are rooting for you! !
the controls r so confusing i cant press the marker between the door and window, im stuck on the tutorial. but even if i did press it and the food is like on the window i cant serve itt :(
i guess you shoulp press up arrow and z at the same time. Sometimes game wants you to use controls like that. Same for putting down the plates for serving. I pressed down arrow and z simultaneously. Still controls are pretty hard and tiring tho. I hope those help ovo
yall, this is a great game fs but rachel makes awesome other games as well and you guys should all give those ones love too frfr<3 (i recommend cold front the most but all of them are great)
I really love the graphics of the game!!! i heard the storyline is really good and I don't doubt it, and I love the overall aesthetic, but the game's controls are a little finicky. I didn't realize you had to click arrow keys at the same time as z to interact and that makes it really tricky during the levels. Also, the notification boxes are a bit distracting. I really want to play it, but I can't even get past the second day TT THe customer wait time seems a bit fast? especially when I've failed the shift and it hasn't even been halfway in according to the little timer. I think I'll come back to it eventually, but I don't think I can play it right now because it stresses me out a bit too much TT I will say it does get the stress of working in a restaurant right!!
Overall, the game is really cute, and if anything I'll watch the story through other playthroughs if I can't progress on my own. I love the art and music, and the sound effects also add a lot!!
i only had trouble in day 6 were i need to ignore the old people to keep the other 3 costumers. day 2 is super slow honestly, even though i agree controls are finicky
the game is on itch.io you can go on google and search up "deadplate" and it will show up or search it up on itch.io its free too all of her games are free
you should be able to extract it by pressing right click on the zipped folder and press extract all. Or you can view the "View option" above and press extract all.
well if you have win rar it is just opening it, clivking extract and selevting the folder you want to extract it to, or you can do like another person said in the comments
The game controls are a little hard to do. I've been pressing "z" over and over to confirm an order to the chefs, but it wont work. Which leads me to never get the day done. Am I doing something wrong or is the game buggy?
I saw this was the same person who made 'Elevator hitch' and lost my mind. I LOVE that game. And I love games where you can buy things, I haven't even played the darn thing yet and I'm hyped
id seen a ton of people play it and I love it for its story and graphics however:
The controls are incredibly hard to work. This was the first game I got on my pc but the move and click actions that need to be precise make it finicky and unable to do much if any gameplay.
Along with that, the waiting times the customers have seems much too short, especially when the controls aren't working for the computer.
overall this is a very fun game though and there's so much work that has been put into the game I just hope there might be a controls update soon!!
i got so used to the controls that it will make me confused XD. but the wait times are only short on day 6, mainly the old guys, they are super hard to keep there, i never managed to keep them and the other guys, allways loose one of the 4, even with the colone
tbh i don't really like gameplay (years ago I’m played time management mode from Dragon Raja, and after that i wasn’t wanna play any TM games again) , BUT i really like artstyle and story!
I honestly enjoyed the mechanic of serving people even if it was a little hard to get the hang of first. But, of course, the best part of the game happened to be Vince and Rody's interactions and all of the horrific stuff that happened. (I will say that I felt a little sad by the end, but I suppose that's only natural for a story like this. I like horror games that can make me feel emotions like that, though!)
I decided to look around the files for fun since they were already unzipped, and there is a file called icon in a folder called icon but you have to convert it to an .ico file to set it as the game's icon
FREE TUTORIAL FOR SETTING THE GAME'S ICON! (no idea if this is even necessary on mac this is purely windows. it might not properly match up with some computers ui's so sorry in advance i am just a guy on the internet. i'm running windows 11 so you might need to take different steps than me. sorry for that i am a windows 7 girlie through and through my laptop is just new. exceedingly thorough for no good reason but the autism)
1. Make sure that you have a shortcut to the game, since that's what we're setting the icon of! (read substeps to make a shortcut)
1a. Go to your file explorer and select downloads
1b. Open the folder named 'Dead Plate (19)' (make sure you select the unzipped one!)
1c. Right click on the file named 'Game' (NOT 'Game.exe')
1d. Select 'Create Shortcut' (if you can't see this initially select 'Show More Options' first!)
1e. Move the shortcut to your desktop (hold left-click on it and move it to the desktop section)
1f. To change the shortcut's name go to your desktop (see step six) or select the desktop section in your file explorer; find the shortcut, right-click it, select 'Rename', and input the name you want for it followed by the enter key; if you followed step six you might be able to double-click on the name to change it, and if you're in file explorer it might be bound to F2 (make sure you've clicked on the shortcut before pressing F2)
2. Find a website that will convert .png to .ico files (i used this because it was the first option i found)
3. Set the size to 128 x 128 pixels, since this is the original file's size
4. Choose your file
4a. When it opens your file explorer select downloads
4b. Open the folder named 'Dead Plate (19)' (make sure you select the unzipped one!)
4c. Open the folder named 'www'
4d. Open the folder named 'icon'
4e. Select the icon, it should be the only file in the folder
5. Download the converted file
5a. You don't need to put this with the game files in order to set it as the games icon!
6. Go to your desktop (minimize windows so it's visible)
7. Right-click on the shortcut
8. Select 'Properties'
9. There should be an option that says 'Change Icon', choose this
10. Click on the file directory at the top of the icon selection and set it to wherever you stored the .ico file
11. Select the correct file from the list (if there is one)
On the table in your apartment there should be something that looks like a magazine next to the phone, if you interact with it you'll be able to buy items.
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

you should be able to extract it by pressing right click on the zipped folder and press extract all. Or you can view the "View option" above and press extract all.

This game it’s CRAZY I LOVED IT
Honestly, when I first started playing it, the controls were a little difficult for me to play. But then you get used to it.
Great game! ^^
The game controls are a little hard to do. I've been pressing "z" over and over to confirm an order to the chefs, but it wont work. Which leads me to never get the day done. Am I doing something wrong or is the game buggy?
Hit the "up" directional button and then hit the "z" key (or while you're hitting the "z" key). That's what worked for me!
I found that using the spacebar worked a lot better!
I saw this was the same person who made 'Elevator hitch' and lost my mind. I LOVE that game. And I love games where you can buy things, I haven't even played the darn thing yet and I'm hyped
id seen a ton of people play it and I love it for its story and graphics however:

also your game is absouletly amazing i loved it
I got the first ending without knowing that you could buy stuff from the catalogue HAHHAHAHA THAT WAS HaaaAARD!!!!
Okay but after getting all of the endings, the story is SO good. Great game, great bgm and the art is so so cool. I suffered but it was fun.
(kinda spoiler)
they should've kissed while fighting lol.
WHAT CATALOUGE? WHERE
On the table in your apartment there should be something that looks like a magazine next to the phone, if you interact with it you'll be able to buy items.
spoilers??you also need to use it to get all the endingsTYSM
i got the ending 1 without knowing that too, day 6 is soo hard
