Egg Fried Rice
A downloadable game for Windows
It's the middle of the night.
You need to rest but your stomach is growling and
it's all you can think about.
You're never going to fall asleep like this, you can't
fight it. Is there any food in the house?
Something quick? Something easy?
Perhaps you will have to visit the local takeaway
and order some EGG FRIED RICE...

Tense, sinister horror experience

About:
Inspired by the sublime boil Noodles at Night!
This is my addition to one of my favourite
sub-genres of Itch horror:
"going-to-the-store-in-the-middle-of-the-night-
to-get-a-mundane-snack"
This game started out as a tongue-in-cheek homage
but evolved into a different beast entirely.
If you love these types of games too,

A note on
Multiple Endings:
This game is on the longer side of multi-ending
games here on Itch. My philosophy on multiple
endings
has always been that they exist so that
different
actions are rewarded or recognised by
the game, leading
to outcomes that differ based
on choices.
What I have found is that many players will pursue
EVERY ending one after the other.
By all means do this, but please be aware that the
game
is going to seem very repetitive if played
this way, in my opinion.
The design intent is not that you grind your way
to 100%
completion lol
Please play until you get bored! :)
Known Issues:
If you are having issues with a controller, please try
closing Steam or disabling the in-game overlay
as it can interfere with inputs!
On 2 occasions (out of HUNDREDS of playtests) I
have had the car clip through the ground at the
start of the game. If you cannot progress at the
beginning, and cannot find a car just restart the
game. I may have fixed this, but because it was
always so rare and hard to replicate, I have no idea.

Hmm, looks like Dante's fried rice
I'll be sure to play then!
I enjoyed this game maybe too much! Let's Go!
This JumpScare was very camazing
This was a fire game, a couple of them scares had me levitating
Questo è un gioco horror breve che mi ha fatto prendere un po' di spavento! Per essere un gioco ispirato a un altro grande gioco horror, ha un sacco di originalità che lo rende davvero unico di per sé.
l'unica cosa degna di nota è che potrebbe essere una buona idea dare al giocatore un po' di indicazioni quando cerca di raccogliere i suoi gadget "gratuiti"
non vedo l'ora di vedere cosa succederà dopo!
This game is not only funny, but so good. the detail of choices and the little stuff makes it so amazing. The one thing i dislike about horror stuff sometimes is that the main protag is so stupid. but in this one the people in the game felt so real and well written dispite such little dialogue. This is my first ever time writing a comment for in itch.io game, but this game was so good and made me feel so satisfied. It left a big smile on my face. 11/10
This was more complex than I was expecting, and so very fun! Thank you for sharing your work with us, can't wait to see more!
Here's my playthrough in case anyone wants to see:
silly egg fried rice
Who would have thought getting some late-night egg fried rice would be so dangerous! Great game!
What a great game, I really enjoyed it, the atmosphere and the plot of the game, seems simply enough but at the same time really well thought out in my opinion, great work!

Hello, and thank you for your response!
We are truly delighted to receive your positive feedback on our proposal!
Can I use the screenshots to decorate the exhibition booth?
Loved getting all the endings and finding stuff.
Hi forgot I uploaded a playthrough a couple days ago I really enjoyed the game, and will probably do a 2nd video doing the other ending.
This is an egg-cellant (sorry) short horror game that got an honest few scares out of me! For a game inspired by another great horror game, it has a ton of originality that really makes it unique in its own right.
As far as constructive feedback goes, the only point worth mentioning is that it might be a good idea to give the player a bit of direction when they attempt to collect their "free" goodies, such as a line stating "I can use the hiking trail across from my house to get there quickly".
One final point: the title screen showcases 4 possible ending unlocks, but there is one more possible ending that players can achieve. Not sure if that's intentional or meant to be a secret ending.
Very much looking forward to what comes next!
great game and I hope to see more
This game is really fun to play, got all 4 endings, but i just wanted to eat my egg fried rice and drink a good beer :(
Played this amazing work of art and was not disappointed. I got 3/4 endings so far and I can't wait to get the 4th.
This was a fun little game with some cool little details!

I got to say this game had me scared the crap out of me and creeped me out the WHOLE time I was playing it.
Definitely a great game, great atmosphere and story.
I love the easter eggs you added too and the multiple endings but as stated in the description, it wasn't intended for you to get every single one which I could start to realize after about the 3rd time playing.
Other than that, beautiful work.
The name of the game sounds goofy but it's actually a wonderful experience
here is a video about it and how I discovered the game
the free beers got me like always
Game was a treat to play and I would appreciate if you could watch my video to see me crud my pants! :(
THANKS!!GOOD SHIII!!, i played the easy rout hope to do a part 2 for my channel where i make other decisions to see what happens, CAN't WAIT
This game was fantastic and one of the few games where I actually had fun getting the endings! I typically don't shoot for all the endings but this was just such a joy to play!
cool game
good continuation

one of the best indie horror games I ever played great work
Good👌
I died over some egg fried rice bruh😢
This game is literally fun. The character's looks nice but the thing is I can't take the free from takeaway, get in car says "walk" while walking there's a restricted area barrier. I can't help-
