The Unexpected Start: A Roblox Horror?
The journey begins with the player's surprise realization that this visually impressive horror game is, in fact, built on Roblox. The loading screen provides a chilling update log, highlighting new anomalous customers, events, and even a 'new screamer.' This immediately sets a dark tone, hinting that this isn't your average cooking game.
Night Shift Orientation: Rules for Survival
Upon entering the grim-looking shawarma kiosk, the tutorial kicks in, guiding the player through basic operations like turning on the grill and opening the window. More importantly, a set of 'safety rules' is presented. These rules are crucial, hinting at the anomalies: serve smiling customers soda, keep wet packages sealed, escape via the back door during Friday 2 AM inspections, and never look directly at the shawarma stand during inspections. Most ominously, it warns about meat pulsating and groaning, voices in the meat, men without faces, and the need to close the window on certain customers. Every error, the rules suggest, can summon the 'inspector.'
First Customers: Normal Orders, Abnormal Vibes
The first customer arrives, requesting two shawarmas without grill. The player, still learning the ropes, makes the orders, realizing a soda was also requested, and collects the payment. So far, so normal, despite the cryptic rules.
The First Jumpscare & The 'Third Eye' Customer
Things take a turn when a loud, startling noise accompanies a figure appearing outside the window, only to vanish. The player checks the security cameras, finding nothing unusual. Soon after, a new customer appears, demanding 'Shawarma now!' and 'Soda too, don't bother.' This customer is noticed to have what appears to be a 'third eye' or an unusual growth on their head. The game then simulates a 'disconnection' as part of the anomaly.
Internet Troubles & Growing Anomalies
The game disconnects twice more, a deliberate in-game event by the 'third eye' customer. During this time, the monster in the fridge continues to grow, becoming more detailed and menacing. The player observes it through the open fridge door, and it slowly takes on a more defined, monstrous form.
Confronting the Inspector & Fatal Mistakes
The increasing number of errors (serving anomalous customers) eventually triggers the appearance of the 'Inspector'—a grotesque, large-headed creature. The player, despite the explicit rules about anomalies, continued to serve all customers, leading to the inspection. The game abruptly ends with a message: 'MÚLTIPLAS ANOMALIAS DETECTADAS, LIMITE ACEITÁVEL EXCEDIDO. INSPETOR DESIGNADO PARA CORREÇÃO. CONTATO VERIFICADO. FUNCIONÁRIO NEUTRALIZADO. TURNO FINALIZADO. ESTADO: ELIMINADO.'
Conclusion
Shawarma Kiosk: Anomalies successfully blends mundane task management with terrifying horror. The game cleverly uses jump scares, unsettling creature designs, and escalating tension to keep players on edge. While the narrative is shrouded in mystery, the core gameplay revolves around strictly adhering to the obscure 'safety rules' to survive the night. Failing to identify and properly handle anomalous customers leads to dire consequences, as our protagonist learned the hard way. It's a unique and fun experience that proves Roblox can deliver genuinely chilling moments!
