Now looming over the characters is the catastrophic threat of the end of the world. At the diner, some of your customers seem to ignore it, blinded by their own problems they play the whole thing down or even refuse to believe it. Others welcome it as punishment for what they have done in their life. As you wait inside the diner, listen to their stories and offer them food for thought.

Will you convince your customers to run for shelter, or will they stay at the diner, waiting for the end?

incredible story. hope you guys cook up more games like this.
even though this gaame is soo short i loved it gives me a fresh perspective on games going forward into 2026
This game feels like someone turned my weird dreams into a game.
good game. definetly give it a shot. it is short but it does a good job in telling characters stories and making you get invested into their backgrounds. the old-style graphic + the soundtrack create cozy but also, I would say melancholic atmosphere. ignore the 'horror' tag. imho, the only horror in this game is unpredictability of life that forces your to make a desicion. my only complaint is that gloves do not stay on character's hands and I have to put them on every single time :D
The autosave triggering after too much time is not just obnoxious, it's a black cat on meth clawing at your scrotum.
A hauntingly beautiful indie gem that will stay with me for a long time.
