The controls are really wonky and I've encountered a few game breaking bugs along the way (like disappearing sprites).
The way through which you get the phone call is very organic, I like that the game rewards you for snooping around. The story is good, I like that the narrative is self-contained and easy to follow, but it’s rather one-note and predictable. It really left me with more questions than I’d started with, especially about everything pertaining to Vince.
I’ve considered playing it again and finding all of the easter eggs, connecting the dots and whatnot, but unless there’s some secret fifth ‘true’ ending, it doesn’t seem worth the effort.
I had the same issue but for me personally I just had to update my mac system cause I had an update I missed- after that it still closed on its own a few times but no more errors, so I just had to open it over and over few times until it worked, hope that can be bit helpful, fuck mac bro 🙏😭
i keep missing the daily quota because i spend most of my time spamming Z to pick up the dishes - is there a fix for this?? i keep having to walk back and forth and keep clicking z before it does anything
I loved seeing streamers playing this but for the life of me... I CANNOT INTERACT WITH THE THING THAT TAKES ORDER. It sometimes works but most of the time, even though I am right in front of it, It wont take it ... I'm sad...
i LOVED this game, fast paced and the controls were easy to figure out after some time, better on PC, other then that its a great game with great characters and graphics. recommend 100%
the gameplay is criticized a lot but for some reason i really enjoy how repetitive and clunky it is. working to get all the endings so far and it's been pretty fun!
If you can't tell by my name.. I LOVE THIS GAME!!!
It is hard to actually play (controls, not being able to pick things up/interact with things and people). HOWEVERRRRR.. the story draws you in, and makes you want to see what happens next! I personally love games like that.
Basically if you like stories that are more disturbing rather then "scary", you should play other games made by the developer as well. (I LOVED THEM ALL!!)
Y'all idk if its just me but I cannot, for the life of me, FIGURE OUT WHAT BUTTON TO CLICK FOR THE QTEs?? I genuinely went through to get the "Best Served Hot" ending, and not a single one worked. That might just be me, but I had to watch a play through to see the ending.
On a better note, this was fun! I loved the story. I was so invested, I played the entire game, got all endings [and up to the points accessible to me] and interacted with everything I could. Characters? Epic. Story? Rad. And I love arrow keys, that was pretty great!! I will say that I found the gameplay, like... really fun. It got a bit buggy at time, but it was preventable if I sat customers quick enough. It was fun having to rush back and fourth, haha! I, unfortunately, didn't figure out about the catalogue until I had played through every ending and just needed the matches. i got pretty good, though, so I didn't end up needing them, anyways! Fun game, man. loved it.
The game is absolutely raw. If you want to tell an interesting story with pictures, draw a comic or write a visual novel. Buttons do not activate, characters are glitchy and impossible to interact with. Moreover, the developer created a large number of beautiful cg, but was too lazy to draw additional sprites of how Rody turns sideways or backwards (which is NECESSARY in games of this genre). This is simply unthinkable and very, very bad. I'm happy with the aesthetics, the characters, the story, but it's a game first and foremost. It loses all meaning if you don't play it properly. I'm upset. Save your nerves, please
I don't know why, but every time I closed the game my save files would get deleted. I got through the game just fine, but I feel like this may be a bit of a problem.
overall though, I loved it a lot and especially the characters. definitely one of my favourites now <3
i want so badly to enjoy this game but i genuinely cannot get past day one :( i try to put the ticket up and it won't respond, i try to pick up the plate and it won't respond, i try to take people's order and it won't respond (on occasion it does, but only if I'm standing either behind their chair or behind their sprite, and whichever one works changes based on their seating placement) i've heard so much about the story and wanted to play it on my own but i physically cannot </3
try holding the arrow of the direction you are aiming towards and then press z! for example, keep holding the up arrow and then press z when you want to put up the ticket.
(side-note, if anyones reading this before playing the game, save on multiple slots, use tip jar during early-game for the free money. and use cologne mid to late-game. doing these things will make getting other endings a lot easier)
ill start with the upgrades system. I love upgrades, progression systems, etc... this one sucks. I never really felt any need to use anything but the roller-skates, cologne, or the tip jar. most of the upgrades were incredibly situational and weren't really required.
it would help a lot if I could use more than one upgrade. thats really my main issue with the system, a lot of the upgrades (trash can in particular) should be just permanent upgrades that don't have to be equipped. I think a good compromise is to make some items equippable, and make others permanent upgrades.
also why isn't there an upgrade for maximum orders being cooked and chefs cooking speed???
on a different topic, the game is very particular on where you can interact. want to talk to the customer? go behind his chair. want to grab the plates on the table? go to the back side of the table.
this gets pretty annoying when you have to micro-manage like 8 different customers late game. (cologne on top)
final big issue... kinda just got very boring after day 4. thats it. story/dialogue kept me playing though. i have a few nitpicks/other small issues but these are just the main ones dont wanna bloat the comment too much more

Loved it, I finished all four endings and enjoyed them!
Please can we make a web version
did all the pre requesits to receive the phone call and I STILL DIDN'T GET IT please help...i need to see the other 3 endings...
I can´t get past day 3 because one costumer won´t let me sit them down and I don´t know what to do :(
Loving this. I used to play those restaurant sort of games and it's nostalgic for me. The story is also great, and the artstyle.
I have trouble playing this because Mac hates me but can anyone please help?-
I had the same issue but for me personally I just had to update my mac system cause I had an update I missed- after that it still closed on its own a few times but no more errors, so I just had to open it over and over few times until it worked, hope that can be bit helpful, fuck mac bro 🙏😭
i love this game so far. is there a way to change the key bind? like changing the movement key to wasd
i keep missing the daily quota because i spend most of my time spamming Z to pick up the dishes - is there a fix for this?? i keep having to walk back and forth and keep clicking z before it does anything
same thing happened to me :’)

I have an idea, maybe you could do a part two where Vincent managed to survive
Does it work on an iPhone? Cuz I downloaded it on my phone and am patiently waiting for it to download
You can play it on mobile if you download joiplay and the rpgmaker plugin for joiplay

This game is giving me the fanart itch..

Yeah i thought the game keys things was just happening to me
BROOO THIS GAME IS SO GOOD
It actually looks so good but my stupid computer is not downloading it 😭
it glitches so much i actually am so stressed
story seems interesting, but gameplay feels too redundant and inconvenient, which outweighs the story and visuals for me
I want merch, this game was gorgeous! (gore-geous?)
the arrow controls are killing me help
Do NOT get a laptop with a big right and left keys with small little baby up and down keys 😭😭
I don't know why, but every time I closed the game my save files would get deleted. I got through the game just fine, but I feel like this may be a bit of a problem.
overall though, I loved it a lot and especially the characters. definitely one of my favourites now <3
i've been dealing with this problem too, idk how to fix it 😭
really wanna play this but i can NOT deal w the arrow key movement
i want so badly to enjoy this game but i genuinely cannot get past day one :( i try to put the ticket up and it won't respond, i try to pick up the plate and it won't respond, i try to take people's order and it won't respond (on occasion it does, but only if I'm standing either behind their chair or behind their sprite, and whichever one works changes based on their seating placement) i've heard so much about the story and wanted to play it on my own but i physically cannot </3

thanks so much!! it works with that, but it also doesn’t hurt that I have shift held down with a weight lol
whenever im walking sideways and have to interact with something it wont work :(
YALL KM USING MOBILE AND IT WON'T WORRRKKKK😭
they're gay
Definitely.
The writer(s) must have know all the homo-coded subtext they put in, all that can't be an accident.
ikrr!!! cannibalism is used as a metaphor for love in media too. ain't no way they're hetero
cant we have w a s d in the movement😭😭‼️‼️🗣️🗣️ what about us keybaord users without any arrows keys
I loved this game :)
3.5/5.
story? good. dialogue? good. gameplay? ... uhhh...
