Grabbed this on a complete whim not even knowin that there was heaps of ppl whining about it being overrated online,
i mean i dont think its the BEST rpgmaker game ive ever played but it's cool!
lets take it from the top, this is like a restaraunt bistro rpg where you take customers orders, get them to tables, clean the plates, take out the garbage and etc etc with all the strings attached that comes from hectic food industry type games requiring you to go quick and such

This immediately had me HOOKED because I like to think im decent at these, though it took me a few more tries than id like to admit to see everything the game had to offer.. there's an equipment buff system in this game you can get with your accumulated money and it stacks between new runs too but im gonna be real i dont think you really need to get All of these things to really Get Dead Plate like.. you could be fine shootin for the tip jar or roller skates for a bit and then usin the match sticks when you feel like youll be in a tight spot aha aha.. ohoho! aha.. yea. but you dont need to do all that bullshit
I like the thought behind them! but really the game is not that difficult where you need to buff yourself like that

The ACTUAL flaws with this game lay from how sometimes the tiles where you can pick up plates from or interact arent entirely clear at first, i think this is partially due to your main character not really having a backsprite so oftentimes deducing your direction is a game of mashing which is really funny until you miss one plate, the trash is full and its AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL fucked

Its chill though, i think the story itself is also.. FINE.. like i think this game actually does have some things to say about love and an interesting take on love in consumption and love in actual passion in both the coldest and warmest detriment to people..

It's just also this game fuckin hits you with a bus of information by the end whereas before the hints that some shit is up aint even encompass everything LMFAO like oh my god especially for Ending 3
there's so much dialogue in that it may as well be the "canon" ending especially for what comes at the end
buuuuuuuuuuuuut yeah
go play it if you wanna
it's a very Specific kinda game! so i dont think itll be for everyone but I liked it enough to tell you the premise was cool and it aint rly feel like a waste of time, definitely couldve been giving you More story moments
but its a shortgame that encourages visual novel esque replays i mean EHHHHHHHHHHHHH it already says everything it needs to say in each of the endings so i think it does a fine job

I guess if i had a nitpick its the tile detection with some things, some abilities feelin kinda just Whatever and the fact tht pretty much all the clientelle you get is predictable in subsequent playthroughs.. it never really feels it gets that much harder if you want higher challenge
but this already is cool enough to me that some diner-dash typa shit can exist in rpgmaker
it's just dont come here lookin for TOP of the line gameplay in that genre since this is an rpg with story beats and not really a purely arcadey thing pftftft

this devilman cooking show is kinda mid
