Welcome to The Diner:

A side-scrolling anomaly horror trapped in a looping 1950s American diner. Over 14 relentless mornings, scour every vinyl-clad booth, shadowed corner, and faded painting. Within hides 15 anomalies. Start the day, then choose: retreat if something feels wrong, or continue if it seems normal. Survive all 14 loops to break free… if you can?

We’re expanding The Diner into a full narrative experience - if this game receives positive engagement and feedback!

Your insights will guide us as we build better levels, introduce dozens more unsettling anomalies, and expand the rich, atmospheric lore this looping nightmare demands.
