Getting Started: Setup and Core Rules
The game begins with an introduction to the player's night shift at Shawarma Kiosk. Initial tasks involve turning on the grill and opening the kiosk window, preparing for the night's customers. Crucially, a list of rules is provided, detailing how to handle various customer types and anomalous events. These rules include specific actions for smiling customers (soda), suspicious bundles (seal under counter), 2 AM inspections (exit immediately, avoid looking at the shawarma stand), moaning meat (kill fire, leave), faceless customers (serve, don't look), and certain customers who must not be served (close window immediately). Security cameras are highlighted for checking anomalous customers.
Serving the First Customers
The first customer, a man in a suit, orders a shawarma without grill or onions. The player prepares it by taking lavash, adding sauce, cheese, salad, and meat, then rolling it. A soda is requested, which the player initially forgets but quickly provides. The transaction is successful, adding 150 to the income. A 'Corruption Shop' briefly pops up, offering special abilities related to anomalies, although the player does not interact with it.
The First Anomaly: A Hidden Intruder
A second customer orders two shawarmas. While the player is preparing the first one, a grotesque, bald creature with long arms is seen peeking from under the counter, matching the description of the 'wet, moving bundle' anomaly from the rules. Despite this, the player continues to prepare and serve both shawarmas, with the creature remaining visible under the counter throughout the process. The second customer makes a comment about getting the 'bigger one' from the first.
Conflicting Rules and Increasing Tension
A third customer, a man in a black t-shirt, orders one shawarma. The player checks the security camera, which shows a normal-looking man, then serves him. The customer unexpectedly accuses the player of farting in his food, though he still eats it. Later, another woman orders a shawarma and asks about the bathroom. The player closes the window, causing the woman to become agitated and leave. Simultaneously, the meat on the grill begins to pulse and moan, and a black liquid appears on the floor, indicating a critical rule breach: the player should have killed the fire and left immediately. An unsettling dancing anomaly then appears outside the window.
Fourth Wall Break and Another Anomaly
Despite the moaning meat and visible dancing anomaly, the player remains at the kiosk. A tired woman orders a shawarma and soda, mentioning a long shift. The player closes the window again, leading to another customer complaining about being ready to pay. The dancing anomaly remains outside. Another customer, a man in a grey shirt, arrives and surprisingly addresses the player by their Roblox username. He jokingly threatens to 'cut your internet,' which is immediately followed by a simulated game disconnection, a clear breaking of the fourth wall. The customer then quips, 'Just kidding,' emphasizing the surreal nature of the shift.
The Final Descent: Disregard for Protocol
Following the 'internet breaker' incident, the player continues serving. Another customer, seemingly a martial artist, orders a shawarma, emphasizing 'training is nothing without food.' The player serves him, and then a final customer orders two shawarmas and a soda, specifically requesting 'not grilled.' The player prepares the order, but the meat on the grill begins to pulse and moan even more intensely, with blood-like splatters appearing around it. Despite the rule to 'kill the fire and leave,' the player attempts to exit through the back door. However, an unseen force drags the player character back inside. An inspection car with no driver appears, signaling the inevitable. The screen flashes with a 'TERMINATED' message, indicating the player's non-compliance. A final system notice explains: 'YOUR PRESENCE WAS NOT AUTHORIZED REALITY PROTOCOL INITIATED STATUS: ERASED. NOBODY REMEMBERS YOU EVER WORKED HERE. THE GRILL KEEPS SIZZLING – BUT THERE'S NO ONE BEHIND THE COUNTER.' This grim ending confirms the player's failure to adhere to the bizarre rules of the kiosk, leading to their erasure from reality.
Conclusion
"Night Shift at Shawarma Kiosk" is a clever blend of mundane simulation and psychological horror. Success hinges not just on speed, but on strict adherence to obscure rules that govern an increasingly hostile reality. The player's repeated failure to follow critical safety protocols regarding anomalous customers and paranormal events leads to a swift and chilling end, emphasizing that in this kiosk, some rules are simply non-negotiable for survival. This walkthrough serves as a cautionary tale: always follow the rules, no matter how strange, if you wish to see another sunrise.
