Dead Plate

Dead Plate is a short 2D restaurant tycoon RPG horror game set in 1960s France. Players take the role of Rody Lamoree, a waiter working a single week at La Gueule de Saturne, a bistro owned by the unsettling chef Vincent Charbonneau. The game blends restaurant service, visual-novel dialogue and point-and-click exploration into an atmospheric narrative experience.

The game is distributed by its creators, STUDIO INVESTIGRAVE, through itch.io as a name-your-own-price download, meaning it can be played for free or supported with an optional payment. The download here directs to the official itch.io release page rather than a rehosted copy.

Across seven in-game days players seat guests, take orders, serve courses and clear tables while the story unfolds toward one of four possible endings. The game includes more than seventy CGs, eight hand-drawn maps and an original soundtrack, with mature themes running through its horror-tinged storyline.

Dead Plate is available for Windows and macOS and runs locally as a standalone game without requiring an account or an online connection. Because it carries a mature content rating, it is intended for older players who are comfortable with horror themes.
