About
Mary is an 18-year-old girl who’s just moved out and taken a night-shift waitress job at a desolate roadside café on the edge of nowhere. Each night, the silence grows deeper. Customers grow stranger. And the feeling that someone is watching becomes impossible to ignore...
This is the first episode of the True Nightmare series — a psychological horror that feels disturbingly real.
An immersive first-person experience of working as a lone waitress in a remote roadside café.
Take orders, prepare meals, serve customers, and clean up — all by yourself.
Leave the café and uncover nearby locations filled with eerie details and hidden clues.
Discover unsettling sights as you piece together what’s really happening.
People talk. Some say too much. Others hide what you need to know.
Dialogue and overheard conversations may reveal more than you expect.
Not everything can be explained. But the more you see, the more you know something is wrong.
Something hides just outside the light. Don’t look too long — it might look back.

무난무난 쏘쏘 재밌음 스토리 킹쁘지 않음 크게 기대할정돈 아님
Очень простенький сюжет, атмосфера дешевого кино. Также в игре присутствуют куча багов, можно спокойно не делать то, что нужно делать по сюжету, и из за этого игра ломается и приходиться перезагружать сохранения, такое может произойти даже случайно, ведь там нет указаний что делать и куда идти. Короче, оценка 4/10, я ожидал большего.
Cool vibe! the odd glitch added to the uncanny feel :)

-Recommended 8/10- A true nightmare indeed! The storyline is well made from start to end, with a really good plot twist that I honestly didn't see coming. Everything wraps up nicely with no loose ends (except the part where she found a key in the diner's bathroom leading to another cabin near her home-maybe better if someone left it on the table or dropped on the floor to make it bit more realistic). I also love how the game gives you the freedom to explore. The part where you get to drive home and then travel back to work makes it feel more engaging, rather than having everything happen in just one location. Variety of interactions too. I just wish the game has better graphics with more colours. I know the game is mostly at night, but maybe mixing it with some daylight scene would be interesting.
Wirklich gut.
игра хороша тем, что над ней постарались как следует. красивые кат-сцены, прекрасная атмосфера, много контента за свои 200 рублей.) в некоторых моментах, как и подобает хоррору, реально страшно, напряжение передано на все 100%. раскрытие сюжетной линии, задумка - всё на высшем уровне. из минусов - локализация иногда подсасывает, и некоторые реплики не переведены. спасибо разрабам за страх.
Wer hätte gedacht, dass Burger-Braten so ein Nervenkitzel sein kann? 🍔💀 True Nightmare - Roadside Café hat mich gut unterhalten. Die Mischung aus dem stressigen Gastro-Alltag (Kunden bedienen, Bestellungen fertigmachen) und dem schleichenden Horror, der sich draußen in der Dunkelheit zusammenbraut, ist richtig gut gelungen. Die Jumpscares saßen an den richtigen Stellen und die Atmosphäre an dieser einsamen Raststätte ist durchgehend beklemmend und spannend. Es ist der perfekte Beweis dafür, dass man aus einer eigentlich alltäglichen Situation ein packendes Horror-Szenario basteln kann. Gerne mehr von dieser Art Spiele! Für mich ist das eine solide: 🧦 7 von 10 Socken! 🧦
It is ok.
BUENAS NOCHES, EL JUEGO MUY BUENO, NO ENTENDÍ EL FINAL, PERO BIEN. LO ÚNICO QUE SÍ PUEDO DECIRLES ES QUE LE PONGAN 5 PESITOS MÁS DE LUZ Y BRILLO, TUVE QUE PONERME UNOS LENTES SOBRE MIS LENTES PARA VER ALGO. LO DEMÁS BIEN. POSDATA: PROVECHO A LOS QUE ESTÁN CENANDO. POSDATA 2: ALEOWENS EN YOUTUBE. L0S TQM. <3
