💔 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 game is really fantastic. I love the artstyle, the music and storytelling. I also tried playing this game on android with the help of joyplay and it is phenomenal experience
This game was really good!! I love the artstyle, the music and storytelling. Controls are a lil bit anoying but besides that it is awsome. Also i think i found a bug: In day 5 after some of the guest leave and i am serving the 4 ppl in the same table everytime i put some dish order for the cooks it also puts an apetizer even tho noone ordered it:( If u need more explanation i can probably film my screen.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST VN I HAVE PLAYEDDDD!!! I adored the art and the story!!! <333333
Hi racheldrawsthis, Rix, STUDIO INVESTIGRAVE, I'd love to help you bring dead plate to Arabic gamers for free! If you're interested in an Arabic translation, please let me know your email or contact me at urbgamesplatform@gmail.com
There's no Android version.. :( Brazilian Portuguese
when i download the fire there isnt a game option only game.exe or game.exe.exe
Wish I could play 😔
for some reason it keeps freezing them :
is there a possibility to allow movement through wasd? I don't have arrow keys since I have a 70% keyboard. I really want to play this game though :(
is this game inspire by penguin diner?
couldn't even play the tutorial, shame :(
the gameplay, controls and storytelling are horrendous even by rpg maker standards. I really liked the art and music though
i recently did know that there's a spanish version, tysm for it
As a French person, the game makes me think of actual France, of course old France
it doesn't open for mine. help me!!!
0/1O, they should have kissed.
Seriously, this game is so peak <33
😭
SO FIREEE, lowkey I struggled because I didn't know I could buy stuff to help me with the days until I searched up the endings but it was pretty sick :3, I'm not good at the restaurant type gameplay lol
This game was a delight to play.
I played it a few months after it released but i only just now made an itch.io account so i replayed it and i'm finally commenting.
I think the art and music are really good, and the gameplay of it was pretty simple but fun.
It's plot twist i feel honestly works.
and although this game has a bug and flaw or two i still think it's an amazing experience i've even recommended to friends!!

Thanks for making it, it was a lot of fun!
This was the first game i ever played from y'all and honestly i still think it's a good introduction :3
one thing i will say tho, was that a pretty funny bug that happened during the last scene and for some reason there where two Rodys.
my headcanon is they kissed after the game was over /j
i imagine this game is great, but i can only imagine, as the controls and coding are genuinely held together by hopes and dreams, and ive found it near impossible to even get past the tutorial because of this. please hire someone who actually knows what theyre doing, i imagine this game would be much more enjoyable if that were the case.
peakkk game i love it so much i looove it peak will always recommend to a friend i cant stop talking abt this game
I decided to replay dead plate and this happened, idk the reason but i thought it was funny, i couldn't interact with the npc at all ^^;
what's with the control , it genuinely so inconvenient and it doesn't work at all
Quiero jugarlo en Android 😭😭 o mínimo por en navegador
I play it on Android 🥹
wait how?? i can't download it
I played it with an emulator, Joiplay to be specific
I tried that out and it worked, tyy

Por que el día 5 es tan dificil? 😭
Ya llevo como 6 intentos en pasármelo pero los clientes pierden la paciencia rapidísimo, incluso pasa despues de compre objetos de ayuda, alguien me explica.
Yo suelo usar el perfume y los siento cerca de donde sale la comida, así les llega antes.
i cant get the game to run both game files dont work pls help
It's really comforting when you're viewing the endings guide to see other people (anonymous) doing so as well
i played this game completely blind and finished it just now and HOLYY WAS IT AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! i would love to see more content of these guys! especially rody, i love his character sm i wish him the best in life
did you get all the endings? i was trying to get an ending other than ending 1 just now and failed somehow qwq
i've gotta replay now but at least i'll have some stuff already purchased (thumbs up emoji)
edit: I have gotten back into the game (i get busy)!!!! i have now gotten other endings :3 i was trying to get the 4th ending and somehow trapped myself in a corner;; also i was unsure where i was supposed to go but i'll figure it out (thumbs up emoji)
