Basic explaination of these games

By the way, if your wondering, yes i have played all these games and got all the endings but one.

Dead Plate

This game does have: Blood, mentions of cannibalism, cannibalism, mentions of death, death, eye contact, mentions of having a loss of tastebuds, and gore

The most popular visual novel of Studio Investigrave, this game is where you play as a waiter named Rody sometime in 1970's France. Rody is the ex boyfriend of a girl named Manon, she broke up with him because he was low on money and was destroying his life for her (please dont think shes bad I see so many people who do). Because of his and Manons break up, Rody takes up a job at a fancy bistro owned by Vincent, who lost his taste buds when he was young and is surprisingly secretive about his life.

Vincent is a chef who watches over the cooks he hired to make specific dish for his menu that changes every day. you play these days and try to serve the customers before they get impatient and leave the bistro. if you have time in the day you can go to the kitchen where Vincent(Rody calls him Vince) is and chat with him and just make some small talk and try to get to know your boss a little more, go home at the end of the day to a messy apartment that Rody refuses to clean. the pile of dirty dishes in his sink probally taller then most

this game has four endings that can happen based on your decisions and specific actions

Elevator Hitch

This game does have: blood, Gore, Death (lots of it), insanity, dopplegangers, and the concept of dying and then coming back like 30 minutes before and remebering that you died (please help I have no idea what thats called)

Elevator Hitch is a mix between a visual novel and a point and click escape room where you play as a unamed character (That everyone calls Protag because hes the protaginist) who is just trying to get his interview on the top floor when a future coworker (Also unnamed so he is just called Coworker) walks into the elevator too and needs to get to the top floor too for a meeting.

the elevator starts going up when after a few moments the lights flicker and stop. after that you have to go through each floor trying to get to the top floor and get your interview and hopefully escape the elevator. Going through the strange floors and getting to the top floor for your interveiw gets you to meet the interviewer (Yes he is also pretty much unnamed, I think, he has a few names, the most popular being "Normal Guy"). meeting him is a strange occurance and passing the interview is even stranger.

this game has fourteen deaths/endings that happen based on your decisions

Cold Front

This game does have: Minor blood, mentions of smoking, Mentions of death, Death, child death(Kinda?), halucinations, severe cold, platonic relationship issues and mental health issues

Cold Front is a visual novel where Augustine and Winnie have been friends since childhood. but when Winnie is gonna move away in a day because of college. So their parents make them spend the day together as a goodbye but what they didnt know is that they havent spoken since last winter because of a thing where Winnie fell down some stairs and broke his leg. when the two start to fight because of the small halucination Augustine had, they look out the car window to see that a lot of snow is coming down and pelting the car, starting to freeze it too.

but its currently July and snow shouldnt be coming down. expecially in this amount. When Augustine and Winnie get out of the car to investigate they realize their outfits had suddenly changed. Augustine was in outside clothes, keeping him warm for the sudden blizard, while Winnie was in indoor clothes and was extremely cold (the picture above/beside shows them in the clothes that they had on after they got out)

this game has two endings that can happen based on your decisions in the game

Elequent Countenance

This game does have: religion, cults, angels, blood, mentions of reserection and sacrifices

Eloquent Countenance is a visual novel just like the rest where Angelica has just lost her dear husband and has to go though with the funeral when she suddenly gets a nosebleed and ruins her guide card. when she goes to go to her spot in the funreal she suddenly meets the guardian angel Forcas. He goes through this whole speil explaining that he is her guardian angel and that she should be happy to have him and all that.

she didnt seem to care much until he tells her that she isnt his original responsibility and that he is technechly doing her a favor. she doesnt really beleive him and asks why he is even there. he tell her that he isnt there for much, but that he wants her to get through the funeral, from start to finish, and to "Never think about escaping, or helping someone. ignore them." and a bit more. Angelica agrees and can just go through the funral and listen to Forcas, or defy Forcas and find out what happens.

this game has two endings that can happen based on your decision to either go against Forcas or not to.
