The art is nice. Same with the music. The gameplay really give me the nostalgia for dinner dash. Usually in these typecoon game you just need to point and click, I feel like the keyboard control make it tedious in this game. I do think the difficulty scaling is pretty well done.
I really like the subtle story telling through the enviroment and character's action. It's kind of interesting to see how both of the main characters getting desperate yet both doesn't know what they truely want. Vincent's seems obvious. Rody's isn't at all. It feels like I spent the whole game trying to understand him, went through every dialogue opion, yet in the end I still berely know him, maybe it's because he's also lost. The story is short, but I really like these two characters and I wish there's more.
im not sure if this is just a problem with me but i had something to do so i saved and closed the game and by the time i came back home i went on my computer and found out that all the save slots were empty, i knew for a fact that i have saved since it was only a few hours ago, so i retried it a few times still didnt save, i really need to save cause i cant beat day 5 still. and unfortunately i cant really play all day, even so the art is really nice and i would love to continue playing this game. again dont know this is just a problem with me.
Same issue here:( Idk if it's because I don't have a shortcut to the game and open it from the exe file. It restarts everything. I tried making a shortcut but it won't work
very interesting game! reminds me of diner dash. Of course, it's different because it has an interesting story and lots of endings. I like it... Looking forward to your next project... :)
I had a lot of fun playing through the game, learning about all the paintings in Vincent's apartment, and theorizing his backstory and a kinda out there theory about someone else in the game!
This game was so cool, I loved all the characters ;; someone needs to explain to Vince how tastebuds work, to Rody how breakups work, and to the customers patience!! lol very fun~!
Really great game, but i keep getting the same exact bug on the first day of work no matter what i do and i cant play :/ The screen just freezes and i cant move or do anything.
As stated in the download instruction page, you need to put the entire zip folder in Desktop, unzip, then drag only the Game app outside the folder to Desktop. If the screen turns to pitch black, close and restart. Keep trying to launch and eventually it will let you!
loved the game!! I got the first ending my first try, just got the rest of them. Great game, was surprised about the phone call bc I was trying to figure out what would lead me to another ending without looking at the guide
i dunno if im doing something wrong but im failing to go to next day as when im almost finished to end the day when the costumers are gonna pay they stay next to their table and i cant interect with them, which is making they go away and i cant finish the day and have to restart all over :( is there a way to fix it or am i just dumb lol. but i really loved the game thats why i want to keep playing :<
saw the announcement on twitter and was so excited to play since i loved elevator hitch! as expected, this game was awesome! i loved piecing things together through achieving all the endings (ending 3 def made everything make sense LOL) vince and rody r very loveable characters. wanna put them in my mouth.
it's a little buggy on mac, but you eventually get used to the controls as you play through. the art is gorgeous as always and i cant wait to see more from studio investigrave <3
Whisking away our own lives, meatly put together, as were frozen than stuffed into the meat grinder..
Who knows where our love is, and what this mysterious chef wants with us!

This game was very well made and should be fully developed and put onto steam. From the sound design to the graphics of the restaurant. Gave me my earlier childhood when I would play Diner Dash on the DS.
I Enjoyed the story development, and the characters implemented. The branching arch and the secrets of needing that freezer key in order to gain the other 3 endings.

Thank you Investigrave Studio and Racheldrawsthis for the game!
Wonderful game! I love the art style and personally the restaurant theme as a whole! Great dialogue and the gameplay made it super enjoyable even if stressful lol. Best of luck on your next games!
I absolutely love this game! It's a little glitchy and sometimes the maps wouldn't load and I'd have to quit and I struggled for a while before I realized you have to keep running into the item you're trying to interact with but other than that it was amazing. The plot line is super interesting and I really loved the art style and the chibi pixel art for the serving mini-game. The contrast between a sweet restaurant serving game to "Oh god that man is insane," makes for an interesting contrast. Anyway, 10/10 would recommend you play this immediately.
Wraaah new game from y'all!!! I like games set in the 1940~60s, so this was obviously fit to my taste, along with the horror aspects in some of your games :D ty to studio investigrave for the good art, music, and overall game :)
Aaaaaa there's so much to say about this!!! This game was thought out so thoroughly and is so story rich - both in dialogue and in the actual mechanics!! Love how many interactive objects there are, and how they each add a dimension to the narrative: the different dishes as an end-card! the dialogue getting more comfortable as the days progress! the newspaper with the waiter critique crossed out! love how the difficulty is scaled, it adds a sense of responsibility for a visual novel type game without feeling "mini-gamey," extremely well balanced and smart to introduce that restaurant tycoon style in the beginning. the haptics and change in sound atmosphere added to an increasingly tension filled story. got spooked a couple times for sure. visually, a feast as well. the art and music were super engaging and well thought out! loved the sprites of each customer and the clothing designs to fit the era. the dialogue fit each character so well, and I love how it subverts a narrative to create something really rather unique story-wise. sorry for the long blurb, very much enjoyed the game and deeply sad I finished it so fast!
Is there a way to save? Played through first day, then when I looked in the fridge, I clicked everything and pressed x/y but there was no way to stop looking at it so I quit.
Enjoying the art and dialogue! 28 jobs in 7 years is impressive. Would be great to have different directions for the sprite and a greater radius for picking certain things up, feels like I'm so wide but I can't pick things unless I'm directly in front of it. Maybe an indicator when something can be selected
The fridge page is clickable so you were supposed to click the X on the top right side of the page. You can save by interacting with the couch in Rody's apartment- first it'll give you an "lie down" or "look out the window" option. Choose to lie down then there will be a pop up that let you either save or end the day which would progress you to the next day.
As stated in the download instruction page, you need to put the entire zip folder in Desktop, unzip, then drag only the Game app outside the folder to Desktop. If the screen turns to pitch black, close and restart. Keep trying to launch and eventually it will let you.
I have a question, will the game have another language in the future? The game looks interesting but I don't know much English because I'm Spanish, and that's why I ask because I would really like to play it.
I really enjoyed the game. The art is great and gameplay is fun, though frustrating sometimes with the few bugs but nothing major in the end. Getting to know Rody and Vince through in-between shift conversations is such a smart idea which makes you want to explore and do well in the serving part so you can have extra time for looking around. The build-up towards the end was also great and the clues scattered about was enough for me to decipher the mystery. Though some of my expectations were subverted, it was a great story nonetheless. Overall, really fun game which I would recommend for anyone wanting a short but sweet experience. Also, I just really enjoyed the restaurant tycoon part a lot, despite the few bugs. Awesome game all around.

Awesome game as usual!

Best rpg game ever I love it a lot, the story is great too and I had a lot of fun chatting with the chef

My lack of a computer is my current weakness, but the second I have it back I'm downloading this
I'll update y'all then
we'll be waiting
it is downloaded
Side note my computer refused to download it for like an hour
The universe wants to take games from me but I'm stronger
Just found this, so excited to find out it was made by the Elevator Shaft dev!! Can't wait to see more dudes get horribly traumatized
Oh my god I just finished it and your games are always such bangers, these losers are going to occupy my thoughts for at least the next week
I,, played the game but I don't think I can find the freezer in game,,,
There's two entry ways shown on the left side of the map when you walk in the kitchen. The above leads to the freezer!
want to play this when i have time ^^
which version of rpgmaker was used to make this?
The game was created using RPG Maker MV!
y cant i download it?
and its says i dont got permision to play or download LIKE WHAT?!?!
You have to press the directional button corresponding to the item/character you want to interact with and simultaneously press Z!
I absolutely love this game!

Ooh okay thanks, I think I thought the x meant press x since its a main control button 🤦♀️
Is there a way to skip what’s already been played through?
