💔 KNOWN BUG S 💔

- 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.

The gameplay is so unique, it reminds me of all those flash restaurant games from back then! It's been decades since I've played those so I was definitely rusty. Still loved it! Wish I had gotten the true ending(s?) instead of the first two ones but I'll probably come back to this at some point, I need to know what happens! Thanks for this game!

i love this game, it's so stressful because there is a lot to keep track of and the customers leave if they aren't served in 30 seconds. high stakes and captivating. I would give a piece of advice dev, please add a back to the server so the player can actally tell which way they're facing, instead of guessing. Great job on the game nontheless

In Mac the game open but no show on the screen the game, that is happening in my case with all your game, I don´t know if is my computer or is a error for the download, Someone know?

I love this game so much, I used to play it on my old PC but... I had an extremely large number of pictures from the game on my PC, like really all the pictures that were in the game, more than thousands of photos... is that normal...?

My first game from this studio! Spent a little over 2.5 hrs to get all the endings, the controls and button areas are wonky but manageable! For a short game and short story it was worth it. Surprised when its only 7 days, but that packed narrative makes it good! 

I see there's no Indonesian translation yet, may I contribute to it?

This was the first Studio Investigrave game I played, and since then I've been obsessed with all of Rachel's games, haha.  The atmosphere is incredible, the story is even better, and the characters are very cute and well-developed. I'm completely in love with all of Rachel's games now.

I may or may not know a lot ab this game cus i found a (gay) video on capcut w em and i tried to find the game and then saw a video of smokeebee playing it and then found it here and now im happy

(+1)

smokeebee mention

Yup:)

It was so fun! I usually don't replay games after completion but I'm planning to replay because it was too fun to deliver the dishes (day 6 becomes managable after completing it once lol). Dead Plate may be a short game, but it takes a lot of space in my brain.

Also, I love the artstyle! It inspired me to draw more cartoonishly(?) that I overcame my persistent art block lol

(1 edit) (+1)

loved this game so so much, I had a lot of fun with the gameplay!! Even though the controls were a bit hard to get used to at first and sadly the game did bug a few times, the character building and storytelling were done so well i forgot all about the little hiccups xx 

definitly has a lot of replay value + will make you want to check out the creators other games too!!!!!

will there be a port for Linux as I would like to have a portable dead plate console I would probably port it to bazzite distro first.

(+1)

Day 6 is making me crash out so hard help

The game is interesting, although for me it was more funny than intense. I couldn't figure out the controls for a long time, but here's a tip for those starting out: press the up arrow and z (if the object you want to interact with is at the top).

kinda stressful but i still liked the story and the characters

(+7)

I NEED YAOI  ENDINFEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEAE

(+2)

the game seems really fun when I watch it online but for some reason, it won't let me take the peoples orders, so I can't progress.  Someone please tell me if I'm doing something wrong, whenever I walk around them their "!" goes away and I can't take their order.

Try moving closer to the visitor or going around them from the other side. Hold down the arrow key and then press z. That's what I did))

loved the game! 

(+7)

BRO PLEASE PUT AN EASY MODE FOR THIS IM LITERALLY SOBBING AFTER FAILING DAY SIX FAR TOO MANY TIMES

(+7)

i would love for a wasd option

(+6)

Arrow key movement is a bit inconvenient on my laptop, so I’d really like it if there was a Controls/Keybinds plugin for the game so I can set my own controls ;v;

(+1)

I love this soooo much!BUT it's a bit challenging for those with less dexterous fingers~(like me,haha!

(+1)

This is probably my favorite horror game of all time

(+3)(-2)

I love this game so much and felt bad for Rody in ALL ENDINGS! ^-^ (P.D: was there some BL ending that didn't get released? Just asking because I heard it somewhere and want someone to confirm it, thank you!).
