oh my god this game is FANTASTIC, the visuals are beautifully compelling and i love the main characters. super interesting. reminds me of the movie the menu, which i loved, so i loved this equally!!! such a cool story and i adore rody, would love to see more of him.
the game description mentions secrets. i dont know if i got them and didn't realize or didn't get them at all but i cannot figure out what they are!! did stealing from the register do anything??!
im not sure if this is a bug but, when i reached day 6, i finished the shift and got to rody's apartment, normally you are supposed to get a call from vincent to either accept to go to the party or decline. instead when i got there i didnt get the call, which i found weird, but i decided to continue the next day (day 7). Once it was over i had automatically gotten ending one. I had tried going back to my save file of day 6 to see if it maybe was just a glitch but it still didnt work. i even went as far as deleting the game and downloading it again, and i still cant get the call. so i dunno what to do to possibly fix it.. asides from that this game is amazing, the characters and the setting are very well made, great job rachel and ekrix!!
That was my first playthrough. You don't get the call if you don't talk to Vincent on every previous occasion (days 2-5 I think). He's only gone on the day after Rory stays after hours and overhears noises from the freezer, on every other day he's free to be pestered lol. Hope this helps :>
A very fun game with nice art, character dynamics, characterization, and an aesthetic that is so beautiful it contrasts the horror perfectly!
My only complaint is that I have some troubles with the controls. I play PC and in order to interact with anything you have to be very carefully lined up with in and then walk in the vertical direction of the object, so even if you look directly on the spot, you still have to walk up or down to be able to interact. It took me a while to figure out and it would be nice if the feature was fixed or at least mentioned (beyond the bugs page).
Other than that, I really enjoyed the experience and I'm a big fan of the developer. My first game from the developer was elevator hitch, which I also recommend. I look forward to future games from racheldrawsthis!
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.

the art style is amazing!! And I love the vibes. Wish there was more with the characters since they're so cute.
My only complaint is since it's ideal to hold shift to run, my pinkie was killing me after finishing the game. an option for auto-run would help
Another banger <3 It can’t be said enough how much I love your artstyle!
A very fun game with nice art, character dynamics, characterization, and an aesthetic that is so beautiful it contrasts the horror perfectly!

it's...... so............... good................................................
Can I get the other endings once I got the first ending? :0 Do I have to restart?
Awesome game as usual!
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!
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
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~!
Love this one! I didn't get the other endings though, even with the guide lol,
LOVE THIS GAME SM
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.
I just knew that this game is gonna be as fun as the your other games
Won't run :( I wonder if I did something wrong. Playing on Mac. Error code attached.
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!
🤍AMAZING GAME🖤

Another great game. That twist at the end came as a surprise.
i loved this game so much and i really really hope i see more content on it because OH MY GOD i need more

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 :<

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?
