Summary
Highlights
The player introduces the game "Shawarma Kiosk Anomalies" where the objective is to make shawarma for customers, but also to identify whether they are normal humans or anomalous creatures. He emphasizes the need to figure out who to serve and who to avoid to survive the night shift.
The game's rules are laid out, detailing how to handle customers. Key rules include closing the window for anomalous customers, serving normal ones, not looking directly at a faceless man's face while serving him, and specific instructions for an inspector's arrival every Friday at 2 AM, which involves exiting through the back door without looking at the shawarma stand. The player also notes strange occurrences like the meat pulsating and voices coming from it.
The player serves his first few customers, learning the mechanics of making a shawarma. He encounters a customer with very long nails and a woman with a disturbingly wide mouth, which scares him. He then serves a faceless man, carefully avoiding looking at his face as per the rules. The player expresses concern about various anomalies appearing, including a man dancing naked in the street.
The game progresses with more unsettling encounters. The player faces a customer whose shadow seems odd, and another who appears to be a 'doppelganger' mimicking the karate master. He nearly misses closing the window on a suspicious customer and encounters a horrifying figure trying to kick down the door. The player is particularly disturbed by a customer who enters with a cat on his back, with the cat supposedly having a face that kills anyone who stares at it.
The player experiences various jump scares and unsettling events, including lights flickering and figures appearing and disappearing. He fails the inspection by accidentally looking at the shawarma stand, leading to a 'non-compliance detected' ending where his character is replaced. Determined to get a good ending, he decides to restart the game.
In his second attempt, the player aims for a better ending by strictly following the rules. He makes sure to chop meat for customers and is more cautious about who he serves, often checking the cameras for anomalies. He encounters a customer with peculiar bloodstains or dirt, and another with a cat on their back, reiterating the rule about not looking at the cat's demonic face.
The player successfully handles a 'smiling customer' by giving him a soda and placing the 'wet moving bundle' under the counter, as instructed. He continues to navigate through the night, serving legitimate customers and fending off anomalies, all while the environment grows increasingly eerie. He notes the time, anxious for the sun to rise and the shift to end, narrowly avoiding a final pulsating meat anomaly.
