Diner in the Storm
You enter a road-side diner to take shelter from a sudden storm. You are safe for now, but it doesn't take long to realize that there's something more than just rain outside the thin diner walls.

Ive gotten endings: -1#, 1#, 6#, 5#, and #4. I may have gotten others, i cant remember. Also i love the art style!
Hey, great game by the way. Oh also, for me it won't let me refuse the sandwiches. The only options are take the sandwiches or "but if you stay here you'll die!" I did get ending 5 from taking the sandwiches, but I still want Maggie to come. I've seen other game plays refusing the sandwiches but its not an option when I play. Is it a bug? Or is it just because I've said slightly different things?
Sad about Casper :(
Also the entity kinda looks like a squid is that just me
the 7 ending got me crying fr
rip (spoiler i will not tell who
that good game and i got 5 Ending.
I got all of the endings the game is great. the story telling is fantastic. and I love how Casper tells you everything you need to do to achieve the best ending to the game.
i once got casper to stand up and get to the backdoor
if u then get a sandwich and leave u will get the last supper ending 4#
Beware the temptation of the sandwich.
i realy thought i was going to escape then
Isnt it ending 5# last supper?
No 4 is the last supper
Ohhh ok. I thought ending 4 was bare minimum 😅
so far i only got ending 2 and 6
How many endings are there? I got to about 3.
7
Beautiful and longing game, I loved it! Even the music fits this feeling. A sweet apocalypse with stickman characters, simple graphics and a mysterious setting. You created characters with their personality and story background with no effort in a short game, which is a trait I admire. I loved the story of the diner's owner and her husband.
BTW, the downloadable version has a bug. Ending 7 never pops up, it keeps giving Ending 4 instead. Even if I never got mention of Hope Springs. The online version is fine, though.
Oops, the downloadable version was out of date. Got it updated to the latest version.
It looks simple, but it has a really good plot! I love it
I saw this on a whim and the title got me. Tried it out and I loved it. Still trying to get the other endings though. Also, I thought maybe that thing was a big alien but my gut was telling me that it's one of those eldritch horrors and yes my gut was right lol (I didn't look at the tags until after playing). It's short but pretty good.
Really good, if you wanna play something for 10-15 minutes i'd reccomen
one of the best games I've played in a while and is exactly what I come to itch.io for. definitely following to see what you'll do in the future! Also, Casper's little wave goodbye had me in a chokehold :)
fr me got crying
Me gustaría tener de foto de perfil la imagen de Gaspar de "el mejor final" talvez le tome captura de pantalla pero uno de los mejores juegos de esta página perfecto para matar una tarde aburrida
HOW DO YOU BRING MAGGIE ALONG?? I TRIED AND I BRING EVERYONE BUT MAGGIE INSISTS THAT THERE'S STILL CUSTOMERS? WDID
Maggie considers everyone, even the dog, as a customer.
I did but Casper won't come and Maggie still won't budge
You have to talk to Caspar about Maggie before convincing Maggie.
SPOILER AHEAD

Refuse the sammiches if you want Maggie to tag along.
OOOOH TYSM
how did you convince casper also i can never get ethan and the girl in on game bc they always fight
you cant get caspar... but you can get magie in this will make caspar hapy btw you can get ethan and the gurl in you can do that by: 1 say to enthan that she shoudl apologize 2 times... or 2 say to the girl that hes a good guy... or idk do this booth
okay thanks
i have noticed some things with the endings
ending spoilers:
ending -1 or negative 1 is staying at the diner (in which you are not supposed to do which is why its negative 1
ending 1 is leaving alone, self explanitory
ending 2, idk yet probably with juan?
ending 3, devoured, not having ethan in the party but having at least 1 more person with you grants this ending
ending 4, idk yet probably with ethan and no specific route (bruna)
ending 5, woohoo the whole gangs here
tips:
in the tv is on dialogue, the bad trip increases her and the whats it showing increases ethan
bringing ethan: can avoid the otherworldly abomination
bringing bruna: charting route without getting lost
bringing juan: idk yet so will experiment with that
bringing maggie: woohoo food
bringing caspar: "nuh uh" *returns to grave*
ending 6: take Juan and the dog with you
Apparently there's an ending 7 (?) once you get everyone to tag along. What's that all about?
Yeah, just did ending 7 today. It's when you are able to bring everyone, including the dog and maggie.
So that's ending 7? I already got that but watching the credits, it told me of a new ending. Strange...
I mean they are multiple endings, but on the game it says ending 7 is the best one so this one is the main ending
Absolutley loved the game, the best ending was trully the best, i enjoyed so much getting all endings; keep up the good work!!!<3
Nice
Loved that ending! Sad about casper though :(
I got the best end and the honeymoon song got me sobbing also is Casper her late husband??
Also I want to know the songs that were playing on the radio and the end scene so is it possible to listen to it?? The soundtrack(?) also best game ever played!!
incredibly nostalgic but nevertheless amazingly polished! great work :)
I really enjoyed this game & played several times in a row to experience different endings.
this game is fun but its hard for me i cant get ending 1
You leave without anyone! That's how I got it.
thank you ill try it!
This was actually way better than I thought it was gonna be.
that was cool
Amazing game :) here's my video:
Can't go wrong with cute stick figure artstyle!
Short, stick figures, cute and nice story, I loved it!
Also, the All Alone ending and You Stayed, both shows as #1 ending, was that intended?
There's ending 1, and there's ending -1 (though i probably could rename -1 to ending 0)
This game looks simple, but greatly exceeded my expectations. I got really invested towards the end. 10/10
Thank you for the playthrough and video!
You're Welcome :)
Walkthrough for the best ending (text walkthrough in description):
Possible bug? Juan says he’s ready to leave with me, but clicking the door says I’ll be leaving with myself only.
Edit: This was my first run where I recruited him but nobody else.
Finished the game! The format of this point and click game reminds me of Don’t Escape and Club Penguin PSA spy missions, as well as VNs where you have to pick the right conversation options to increase relationship points.
The wire puzzle reminded me of the arm pulling from Exhibit of Sorrows… hehe…
Thanks for finding that bug. Going to get a patch out shortly.
Very fun exploring the different endings based on the conversation choices with each person 😎
Awesome game! I've crafted a captivating video on my YouTube channel, and it would be truly rad if you could hit that subscribe button.

Thanks for trying out my game!
How many endings are there
There are endings #1-5, but also a few more endings aside from those.
If Homer Simpson was my news anchor I'd move states.
Noah never did like TV.
(Un?)fortunately you get to break it later on!
wheres the game link? 😯
The game is playable in the browser! But I also added a downloadable playable version just now.
