- If you can't seem to interact with objects, make sure you're pressing the correct direction (press arrow keys first) before pressing [Z]. 

- If you can't seem to clean up a table,
 try pressing [Z] from the bottom right side of the table.

- There is a very inconsistent body double glitch where sometimes two protagonist sprites show up rather than one at the very end of one of the endings. If this ocrrus, please ignore.

我喜欢这个游戏

This was genuinely a fun play! Although, i did feel frustrated with the waiter minigame. Only handling one plate and putting in the orders one at a time with short-fused customers did not make me look forward for the other days lol. but i digress, story wise it's incredible and I'm instantly in love with Vince's off-putting personality and Rody's silly himbo brain.  Some parts genuinely gave me a scare and the part where you have to act quick after escaping made me have a heart attack (I KNEW THE SPRINT EFFECT HAD A PURPOSE. I DREADED THAT)

Annnnnnd okay okay, I barely see anyone talk about the characters here. Anyways, my take on Vince is that he actually does "care" about Rody? Maybe using the word "care" is pushing it, but he does seem to favor Rody more based on the dinner party dialogue. I think it's sweet of Vince to shield Rody from the truth about his service getting criticized in the news article (and upon further inspection in Vince's office, even his details get erased by Vince in the newspaper. ) But at the same time Vince is just sooo blunt and often rude when speaking like poor Rody hahahah. That's gotta be rough. But compared to how brutal he was towards his line cooks, Rody's treated more "better" if that even counts. Love that Vince secretly does care about Rody, and yet expresses it in the worst way possible. I hope we can get an ending where Rody and him get into an understanding and date each other (in a very toxic way).

Anyways love love loove this game sm! The art is so pretty! And the music horrifying. It made me remember why I love RPG game likes these. Thank you for creating Dead Plate <3

I like the style of painting which is so cute, and the bad endings also made me a little down.

Hola buenas, disculpenme pero como le hicieron para pasar el dia 4 :c yo no puedo, aparece una clienta queriendo una mesa para dos y no puedo elegir la mesa. Asi que solo me queda una pareja, y con ella no alcanzo la meta :c

guys how the black veil brides can i run the game i tried everything, NOTHING worked everytime i click on the game file only EXTRACT ALL and RUN pops up. i extracted it and redownloaded maybe like 7 times atleast, and ive been doing that since sunday because my moron brain forgot laptop password and i had to reset it, anyways, i also tried copying and pasting the game into my screen but that did NOT work. Like 3 friends tried to help and couldnt. I JUST WANNA PLAY MZ FAV GAME GFGGFFRGF. Ok anyways, Happy Easter to anyone that celebrates cuz i dont.

are you trying to run the compressed(zipped) file or the file folder?

Unfortunately I can't finish the game after the day 4 because is too frutrating between : Approximate detection,  trash too far for dead plate, delay too short even with the watch, etc... It's a shame because I liked the atmosphere weirder and weirder with the mix between "restaurant game" and psychological horror.

just played this to completion and got all the endings and holy shit I like this so much, I love horror games so I decided to try this one and i wasn't disappointed

I suck so much at articulating what specifically I like about things but I'm such a sucker for psychologically unsettling villains who kill and eat (debatable in vince's case but still) people

Does the app 'Game' have malware on it? It says it can't verify it doesn't

based on your system search on google how to verify it. It' s  because since its a game from a small app creator your pc cant identify the author to make sure its safe. A lot of itch.io games will require u to do that. if u're on mac lemme know and ill help you.

I am on a mac, and this the first time I've encountered this problem, more information would be helpful. Thank you.

Okay so, first u go to the apple icon on the top left of your screen, after you go to settings, should be the 2nd voice from the top, after you click on privacy and security, the name might not be completely the same but im translating from my italian pc, then once u clicked on that you scroll completely until you find a voice that will say something like:  this game was blocked from opening because of... open anyways? and you will have a button saying open anyways. you click that and then there you have it. make sure that before you do all this you have opened the file and it told u that it couldn't be opened because ur pc cant verify it. If you have any more questions let me know.

RAHH- IDK WHAT OM DOING WRONG, I EXTRACTED IT BIT THERE'S NOTHING CALLED "GAME" ONLY "GAME.EXE" AND "GAME.EXE.EXE" AND THERE IS A BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF THAT I HIGHLY DOUBT IS RELATED TO DEAD PLATE SEND HELP </3

I love a good horror and everything I've seen is really interesting! I'm a big fan of the art style and color palette too.
But I'm really sad to say that some bugs in the game make it unplayable for me, which is why the game doesn't let me progress past day 6.
E.g. Customer not standing in front of register and not being able to make them pay the bill to customers leaving SUPER early, even if I play with my shift key hijacked.

The exact positioning to give plates to customers or to clean up plates also annoys me a little.

THIS IS THE BEST GAME ON ITCH.IO!!! I LOVE VINCE SOOO MUCH AND RODY IS SOOOOO SILLY!!! also got my bestie to play this!! <333

For some reason, when I try to open the game after downloading it, it just won't open. I followed the steps but it's just not working. I'm not getting any errors or warnings; the game isn't opening at all.

did you ever get it to open if so how bcs I can't get it open 

No I sadly never did

ah nvm! I just did, I didn't realize I still had s mode on. I'm using a brand-new computer and I'm still getting the hang of it. If you have a windows computer, you just have to turn off s mode and it'll work

How do I find that? lol

This is one of the first few games I’ve played from itch.io, and it really set the standard for me. It’s a perfect blend of storytelling, horror, and grotesque elements. The animation is great, the gameplay is neat, and I absolutely loved the escape game. The storyline truly popped off! Kudos to the team!

Dead Plate es un buen juego después de mucho tiempo por fin pude conseguir un dispositivo para poderlo jugarlo.


Pero la verdad se que no me aparecen las opciones de cambio de idioma si tengo entendido se puede cambiar el idioma.


Pero aún así me lo pase bien jugandolo pero me gustaría que más adelante pudieran sacar una versión para móviles Android para aquellos que no posen los dispositivos requerido y que pueden jugar esté juego.
