I've played this game since it was released as a demo and I LOVED IT. I eventually bought the game and I love the story of this pizzeria. It was unique, it was awesome and the characters/combat are awesome. Spent a good 2 days or so playing this game because I was so into the story of the place. Although, I'm kinda stuck with the endoskeleton thing where I couldn't find the glasses 😅 really liked some tips for that tho
But overall, this game is awesome and I will replay it again just so I can experience it with the other characters (since I used Mascot, Security Guard and Attendant for my first playthrough)
got the glasses from the old wheelchair lady. idk how i triggered it, but after getting everything else, including the XXL Cheezy bar events, i talked to her and she gave them to me before dying
Update: I've been able to play the game recently for 1 hour+ stretches of time without issue. The issue seems to occur if I maximize or resize the window. Too bad, be nice to reliably play in a full-screen style mode, but I'm happy it's working.
I have everything to put on the skeleton guy, except for the glasses. I read in the comments here that when the old lady dies i take hers, but when will that happen?
This game is pure joy, but, I got a little issue; even got it recorded and can upload if needed. Was fighting a present mimic in the Birthday Event Wrong Turn from the video, and died after more than 20 turns of missing, healing, and even magic marker-ing the target several times, miss miss miss miss miss miss, using attacks, skills, and items.
Update : Problem is not so much solved, as bypassed by the issue eventually not happening. I lost 4 or 5 characters to the recurring miss miss miss miss issue, happening both with the gift mimics, and the Birthday Entity, but, never when fighting balloons. Once footage renders and is uploaded, will link my evidence.
Really liked it! I play and have seen a lot of horror games, but this one was exceptional! The tension was held high and the visuals were better than mediocre. The first hour or two was a blast to experience, never have I thought that a RPG Maker game could be thrilling.
However, I am totally stuck right now. I got the obiously bad security room ending. I have beaten all but two WRONG TURNS (Where are they? I got the Ball Pit, Kitchen, Arcade, Streets and the backstage), I got some key items that I can't find an use for and there are characters that are still surrounded by mistery. I can't help the crying child, nor the red guy. I can't get access to the final collector's statue. I've touchhhed every interactable thing.
Love the game and I would really like for someone to point me in the right direction.
Not sure if you're still having trouble but I was in the same boat.
What I had initially missed was: In the room with the endoskeleton, there is actually a staircase just to the right of him. It's very faded so I missed seeing it initially. There's at least one key item here. Hope that helps!
hey, i'm having the same issue! i'm at the exact same spot, but what "room with the endoskeleton" do you mean? if it's the room with the crying kid, i've scoured it up and down, to no avail
Have you unlocked the Sledge Hammer yet? The Endoskeleton room is located in the Showtime Stage section after breaking open the wall on the right side.
I agree that it was confusing at the start but it was a relief to know that it didn't become tiresome after I adjusted into the gimmicks. The enemy designs are fun and creative. I especially like the backstage creature silhouettes.
I thought the game was aware how RPG maker pixel games can't be the most scary visuals around but it goes so far by knowing that 🙏 I also have massive respect on the decision to add little to no jump scares and instead relying on the mood and context for the horror.
Compliments aside, I encountered some mild bugs I achieved by pressing the confirm button quickly and repeatedly. Like opening the status menu while standing by an area with something interactable triggers both the status box and the option text box to show up. Another is the fade screen in the arcade game being stuck on a certain frame, I couldn't see where I was going till I loaded the arcade game again. Both of which I think is a usual problem in RPG maker games.
Hope to see more of your stuff soon!
edit: it's not all sunshines and rainbows, I didn't realize making a new game would auto save in the top most save file. 5 hours down the drain 😢
it gives off fnaf vibes, even though the games have completely different gameplay mechanics its obvious, there is chica and freddy posters ingame and the idea of a chuck e cheese horror game is very similar, i love this game
Please may i ask you for an alternate option to buy your game? (Steam would do nicely)
It's just to the fact that itch.io only accepts dollars and while i can pay for the converted ammount in my own money, i do not possess an international credit card.
Paypal doesn't let me pay with my own currency, it seems. At the end it still asks me for an international card. I'll see if i can find someone i can do a trade by buying them something on steam with the same price.
Gotcha pal! Since you really want to go out of your way to play this game, I will too, so let me help you with that. Any way we could privately message each other?
Oh yes definetly! My prefferable way would be Steam, you can add me here. Too bad Itchio doesn't have a DM system and i rather not put my email in a public comment to avoid spam.
But if it's too problematic for you to reach me on Steam, i could also use Telegram or Facebook.
The game is not saving for me. Continue is always greyed out. I have a pc. I unzipped the game into a folder in my programs folder. I launch the game from the game file. No matter what I can never continue. Has anyone else had this problem? I REALLY want to play this game. I also checked, i don't have a www/save folder. I made one then I get an error to go into that folder I made and check configure.rpgsave
**** FIXED XXXX
Turns out my computer is only letting me make files in the programs directory! I just moved the game to my desktop. If anyone else has this issue you should look into this
Yes, depending on the computer, certain file locations cannot be written to. Placing or extracting the game's folder on Desktop or Documents may be better. (basically any place users may write, edit, and execute from)
had a lot of fun playing this game! i was hesitant at first bc i'm a scaredy cat, but i'm really glad i played this! combat at the start was tricky for me, but eventually i got the hang of it and cleared most of the game with one employee and got my 100%! kind of tempted to go back and explore the other employees, if only just so i can sit in the wonderfully unsettling ambience in this game. i appreciate that there weren't many jumpscares, and instead there is a creeping sense of dread that builds as you find out more about this establishment and it's occupants. i also had a lot of fun finding out that there was more behind this game actually. check out the promotional website, and take a good look around!
overall a very fun game, every part was wonderfully executed, the artwork, the music, the weird stuff that happens when you're in certain places, etc. equal parts funny and creepy, i really enjoyed this game, thank you!
I love this game's mix of horror and humour. I ended up sinking 6 hours into this to get 100% and really enjoyed it. Now I can move on...unlike certain greasy souls...
This is quite fun!! I haven't beaten it yet (if there IS an endgame), but so far I'm enjoying playing it. I was afraid it might be a FNAF copycat because it's in a pizzeria during the night shift and all, but I'm glad I was wrong--the setting is literally the only similarity imo. The rest of the game is unique and really interesting! I like that you roll a new character after each death rather than just replaying the same person with the same stats. Also, THANK you for making the screen flickering element a toggle option. My chronic headaches appreciate it. Will keep playing this for sure!
You may have saved the game's folder in your documents directory. Once you find the game's folder, open it and click on the Game file to run it. Also make sure you have unzipped the game's folder as well.
Amazing game! I will say I quit at first because it felt poorly balanced in the beginning. I missed 5-6 hits in a row and got demolished, and I had found one of the possible party members but never got the chance to summon him, so I was grossly unmatched against bosses. I decided to retry it because the game felt so fun when I made progress, and after I started to be able to summon party members, it got MUCH better and the rest of the game felt more fair.
I 100% the game and all of the endings were great. The story telling is really creative and I love the atmosphere. There are still a couple of unanswered questions but I think that might be intentional. The music is great, it feels good to play, and it was super fun.
One technical issue: when doing the final boss for the "Survival" ending, mine and my party members' HP bar was not showing any changes when we took damage or were healed, and it did not show status effects for the entire battle. One of my party members died and I had no idea.
Aside from that, everything was extremely polished!
I can't put into words the amount of fun that me and my partner have gotten from playing this game. We were sucked in right from the beginning. The story is wild and fun to try and follow as you proceed down every wrong turn. The art and animations are incredible and honestly, it's probably one of the best rpgs I've played in a long time.
After playing this for a few hours I had to play everything Oates has done. I highly suggest playing One Night at the Steeze! Once you've 100%'d this game (Which is absolutely worth it)
This is an absolutely INCREDIBLE game. the playstyle is really fun and creative, the setting is appropriately spooky and tongue in cheek at the same time, and I thoroughly enjoyed 100%-ing it, which is not something I would ever usually do with a game!
I cannot recommend this enough - there always seemed to be something new to uncover, something spooky going on in the periphery or something to puzzle out. I absolutely loved it.
just FYI for something I was stuck on, if you're having trouble with the big fat cat, take another look at the room with the skeleton :)
Fun little weird game! I really enjoy that different employees have different skills which require you to make selections on how you use the items. I'm currently stuck at the arcade wrong turn, but I'm excited to see the game progress!
Hi Oates! Nice game, really well polished. I'm having an issue with the Mac version though. Saving doesn't work on the mac version. I think this is a known issue with RPG Maker MV.
I just finsihed the game i think and all the endings (that i know of) But can someone tell me what Im supposed to do with the Wig, sneakers, uniform, etc. Ive walked around for a while and I cant really find anything. Also was there a reason for destroying the cameras or was it more storyline based? Love the game!! WOuld reccomend to a friend
Once the older employee dies, grab her glasses and use it on the animatronic thats sitting in the hallway leading to the oven. You'll be able to summon "The Kid" to help with the boss in the oven.
I didn't discover "The Kid" until I had already painfully toughed out the oven battle. Felt a bit like an idiot for having my Waitress take it out on her own, pff.
I love this game but I'm struggling with something. It seems that after a while of fighting a boss my accuracy suddenly tanks out of the blue, every single shot misses no matter what I do. Is thid a mechanic I'm misunderstanding?
Nothing in the game requires being quick. Combat is turn-based and nothing chases you in the overworld. There is one point that could be considered a jumpscare, but it's mildly startling at best.
I'm a total wimp and I loved this game. It creeped me out without scaring me, if that makes sense? It's an RPG first and a horror game second.
Hi there! I got this game through the massive itch.io bundle and took a chance playing it. I really ... okay "enjoyed" isn't the right word, but I was creeped out the entire time, and it was a legit challenge. I was really impressed with the game, the AR elements, and the results of said AR work.
Well done on making a horror game that doesn't depend strictly on gross visuals or jump scares. Kept me on edge the entire time.
Finished the game but had a question, is there any point to collecting the wigs, glasses, etc. or are they just there as items that don't have any use?
They are used on the Employee of The Month requirements, and every item must be collected and put on the character in the room where the plaque listing the requirements is.
Alright, stick with me here. This is a procedurally generated CRPG Pizza Simulator roguelike adventure horror game with plenty mechanics and 6 different endings to explore. You may now blink again. The dev tried something pretty unique and interesting here, which largely... and much to my surprise, actually worked out. This is a game I really need to play more of to get any decent impression, but I implore everyone to check this out, because this is probably one of the best and original RPG maker takes I've come across in a long time. 3,5/5

Ouhhhhhh
Thanks dude! ^w^
Game freezes after a few minutes of gameplay. It's the only app open, Java 8 up to date. WIN10 x64 version 2004. Any suggestions?
Check for the following
Hope this helps

where did you find the wig?
I believe she dies after you complete the wrong turn in that room. I am also curious where you found the wig.
To find the wig go back to the Alleys Wrong Turn (the location where you're first employee dies at the very beginning.)
sorry to necropost but I'm pretty sure she dies if you watch channel 13 on the TV
This game is great! A fun game with some horror. I love the entire game

Have you unlocked the Sledge Hammer yet? The Endoskeleton room is located in the Showtime Stage section after breaking open the wall on the right side.
Not sure if you still needed help, but I think you need to check the Restroom starting location again with your sledgehammer.
This game is great!

This game was rad. I think I did everything?
Either way, followed and now I'm off to buy Nobody's Home.

Loved this game! It's got a great mix of horror and humor, and there's a lot of interesting lore.
is this game based on mother/earthbound game?
no, more fnaf

That issue is really exclusive to the final battle only; it can't really be replicated anywhere else.
Fun game until you start missing your attacks 3, 4, 5 times in a row constantly and get killed right away.
Yes, random mechanics are a terrible fit for resource management gameplay.
that was fun! it took me around 4.5 hours to unlock all the endings. the artwork is really nice!

one of my favorite games hands down! im sad that im almost done! Just gotta find the wig and how to get into the security office.
honestly the game is so underrated! where are all the big youtubers on this? where's all the analysis guys? like holy crap
The filter is nice, but too strong. It is aesthetically too strong, I wish that I could have it but have it be less of an extreme filter.
Really interesting little game! Love the references. Surreal and strange! Great work :)
Fun little weird game! I really enjoy that different employees have different skills which require you to make selections on how you use the items. I'm currently stuck at the arcade wrong turn, but I'm excited to see the game progress!

Crashes before opening.
Mac
yeah, been having that problem too :/
awesome game! but is anyone else having the problem of the game not saving at all on Mac?
Seems to be a problem on most older mac OS versions (not saving + runtime issues)
This largely has to do with both development being intended for Windows and having no reliable mac to export on
So Mac people only have the choice to either not play it at all or play it all in one major sitting. Neato.
I was! Turns out there's a really easy workaround for it -- if you download and launch it from the itch.io app, it works fine.
On a macbook 2012, whenever i open the game it just crashes :(
same here! :(
yep!!
