Welcome, streamers, video content creators, and let's-players of all stripes! If you'd like to play The Edutainment Vortex Diner for your audience, here are some tips and tricks that may help you.
Up front, let's be clear that we have no restrictions on creating let's play content of this game. Our music will not result in DMCA strikes, and we have no concerns about 'spoiling' the story for people by showing off big plot reveals and late-game content. There's no 'wrong' way to play it and we want you to come at this in whatever manner you're comfy with.
This game is intended for a mature audience that's comfortable with some level of political discussion, dealing with bigotry and other heavy real-world social issues. The "horror" aspect of the game doesn't stem from graphic nudity, gore, or jumpscares; it's the cruel horror we face in everyday reality. We recommend you provide a link to our content warnings to your audience, so they can review as needed based on their comfort levels. The game itself will provide the URL on-screen when you first start playing as well.
We recommend your facecam be placed in the lower left or lower right position. The upper left frequently has pop-up indicators.
In the options menu, you can select your font -- by default it uses pixel-accurate fonts, but if you find it hard to read, you can switch to a basic sans-serif font. For maximum accessibility, you can use the OpenDyslexia font. This will change the font in your recipe book interface as well.
Depending on your streaming setup you may find the music to be too loud, particularly during voiced scenes. You can turn down various sound elements independently in the options menu -- music, sound effects, and voice.
At any time, you can use your mouse wheel to scroll back and forth in time and change decisions. This can allow you to back up if you aren't happy with a choice.
You can save at any time using the save button on the lower right corner of the screen, or by hitting the Escape key to bring up the menu. This can be done even during choices.
If you'd like to take a screenshot, use the S key.
No spoilers, don't worry! But we should explain the basic structure of the game...
It's not possible to "lose" the game. You may not get the ending you want, but you'll always get all the way through the game and to an ending -- there are no premature game overs, even picking options that look risky.
The two things that drive your ending are your grade with each of the teachers, and how many "Sharing and Caring" moments you have with each. Being bratty or a good student will change the outcome for each character.
Your ultimate ending depends on a decision made in the final scene, which is not restricted by prior decisions.
