Why is it always a restaurant ? lol So dangerous !!
This game is really good . I do wish the game saved in places so I didnt have to go and do the beginning all over again just to get the 2nd ending but overall really cool game ! Oh also the flash light took me forever to find lol
Fourth and final in the line up. Boy howdy. A little liminal, a little work sim. And a lot of wait what. Was that? Oh glob. Good build, not much in the way of jank. The multiple endings feel interesting. The cyclical aspects fun to think about. I really like how the liminal section play with tension, and dial up the weird slowly. Good Job, I'll have to dig into your other games some time.
This game was a blast. I couldn't really figure out the lore the game was trying to present, I guess the character killed a kid or something. I also didn't know how to achieve the second ending, but I think it may be unlocked after playing the game a few times. Great game, very well done!
So I've run into a sort of problem. I saw this game on this website, and thought it would be a cool game to record for my youtube channel. I love this type of slow build horror, doors closing on their own, lights flickering, odd voices in the dark, sounds. So, I have a Macbook Pro laptop. I downloaded the game, but when I opened it it brings up this pop up saying: "This application Lakefront Restaurant" cannot be opend." It was really annoying. I even double clicked, went into the package contents to the physical file, tried opening, and still same message. I tried using terminal to boot it up, permissions, system preferences and still says the same thing. Is there a way that I can just open it and play it?
This was a bar above the usual 'tidy away the trash' restaurant/convenience store type indie games out there - there was a subtle yet slow-build feel to proceedings, with a narrative that felt impactful to the player.
The mundane task of cleaning dishes with the occasional eerie phenomena occurring really kept the pace going - ratcheting up the tension.
The story itself was a little ambiguous to me - with the radio announcement I wasn't entirely sure whether a) the owner of the restaurant had some nefarious entanglement in proceedings. If so, would have been nice to see some notes from the owner as the game progressed. b) The main character killed the girl and had a second chance of redemption by saving the baby in the second playthrough? c) It was all in his head and his regret of losing a friend caused him to hallucinate the things happening in the restaurant.
Either way, I enjoyed my time at Lakefront Restaurant and hope you get a kick out of the vid ;)
Hey cole, thank you for checking out the game! I've been seeing a few comments related to Mac support. I'm currently looking into compiling a separate build for Mac users so everyone can play!
As always doesn't need the PSX-Filter, it takes a row in the "walking Sim, do normal stuff, until scary thing happens". It has good pacing and atmosphere.
But i'm very confused about the Story, he killed someone (the Owner?) and the man is his mind/regrets haunting him?
A fun little game. it would be great to add more than just a few spooks, as this has potential! I enjoyed it, and the first spook or 2 got me in the mood for the rest of it.
Hello, I played this game and I liked it, but it needs work, adding sprint option would be neat and I don't know if I got the ending or not, the game kept restarting which is intentional I think, but it made it really confusing, also the doors weren't opening properly, it just got really confusing after a while, also, so I really hope stuff like that gets fixed hopefully, over all, I enjoyed it, good work :)
Apart from the house bug with doors closing & needing to restart. I thought this was interesting & quite enjoyed it. I am looking forward to see what more comes from you! Here is my playthrough, with my final thoughts at the end?

this ihop has very the gender neutral bathrooms so far away, they really want them to rethink their choices before becoming gender neutral
I loved the setting. The story gave me some thought but I believe I understood the concept. Good job bud!
i guess that’s what we get for picking up a shift. 👀
This was pretty good and creepy, awesome job!

We need more serious horror game like this on 'itch.io'. I love retro-style kind of games and this is one of them!
you're cool
Hey thanks appreciate that :D
Actually really enjoyed this one, would love to see it expanded into at least a couple of hours that I could really sink my teeth into.
Covered as the first game in "4 Scary Games Episode 25" here:
Was originally streamed live on Twitch.tv/SebastianVolkov
yeah, so it supports mac? where's the .app.

Love the game. Great work and the atmosphere was good! The game is the in the beginning if the video !
wont work on mac
if you install it through the Itch.io app, it will launch fine.
great atmosphere!

Nice game. I like the more subtle spooks at the beginning. The dish washing part may need a bit of a tweak, feels like actually being a dishwasher xD
Super creepy game. I look forward seeing more from you. I followed
Not as scary as i was epecting (mind you I thought it'd have scares at every turn) but the game is amazing. The scares are so sophisticated!
Now stop making people run at me when I can't see them cuz I hate it
