Dead Plate puts players in the shoes of Rody, a waiter trying to make a name for himself in a high-end French bistro. The setting blends busy restaurant management with dark undertones hidden beneath the elegant dining room. Each shift challenges players to balance taking orders, serving dishes, and keeping customers satisfied while racing against the clock to meet daily earning goals.
Decisions Beyond the Menu
Between shifts, Rody interacts with Chef Vince, the kitchen staff, and even a mysterious figure connected to the restaurant’s past. Players choose dialogue options that shape Rody’s relationships and influence what happens after hours. Conversations reveal hints about the true nature of the bistro, and every interaction leaves subtle clues that something sinister may be simmering beneath the surface.

While Dead Plate looks like a restaurant simulator at first glance, players soon realize there’s more to uncover. Strange incidents begin to disrupt the smooth flow of service. Plates go missing, odd ingredients appear in the kitchen, and eerie noises come from behind closed doors. The game blends visual novel storytelling with unsettling discoveries, slowly peeling back the refined surface to show what’s really happening after dark.
Every Shift Brings Players Closer to the Truth
The choices made during each day influence Rody’s fate, pushing players to decide whether they’ll focus on earning money, pleasing Chef Vince, or unraveling the unsettling secrets hiding in the walls of the bistro. With its combination of restaurant management, dialogue choices, and horror elements, Dead Plate turns an ordinary workweek into something much more disturbing.
