Balatro but with an ikemen lol

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

Where do I even begin?

I was mindlessly finding games to play when one day I stumbled upon yours. I thought it looked cute and simple, so I was clicked on this expecting to fight monsters and stuff. 

I honestly didn't expect myself to well up in so much emotions near the end. I really felt my heart heavy with terror and repeating "no,no,no" in my head. I couldn't face the screen when the girl walked closer to Meowmie's grave, it was too much and I actually had to let out a good cry. Y'see, I lost one of my cat in a housefire just recently. He was my little best friend and I really cried so much when I finally realized what the end of it meant. I don't think I'll ever finish grieving over my little friend, but deep down I feel really glad there are games like this that can show how the grieving process looks like.

I love the option of holding the cat when you go to sleep. That was my most favorite part :)
