Welcome to the unsettling universe of Scary Shawarma Kiosk: The Anomaly, a game that intertwines the familiar and the bizarre in a fun, yet highly unnerving experience. Set in a peculiar neighborhood, this game throws you into the role of a late-night shawarma vendor where the challenge isn’t just in serving food, but in navigating the treacherous waters of customer interaction. As you plunge into this experience, you might find yourself wondering whether it’s part of a larger anthology or a standalone tale. Either way, it certainly promises an unforgettable adventure.
Getting Started
You can readily access this game through its dedicated Roblox page or through the developer’s anthology game, Short Creepy Stories. If you’re eager for more spine-tingling fun, don’t forget to check out Short Creepy Stories: Night Shift On Route 90, which serves up its own brand of horror in the customer service realm.
How to Play Scary Shawarma Kiosk: The Anomaly
Starting off is easy, but survival is the real challenge. You’ll be manning a shawarma stand during night hours, and your primary responsibilities include serving customers and, more critically, identifying who’s a true customer versus who’s a malevolent entity in disguise.
The Basics
Your workflow in the kiosk is straightforward, involving only a few steps to prepare and serve shawarma:
- Take the lavash wrap.
- Add sauce from the ingredient tray.
- Layer on cheese and salad.
- Include the meat.
- Wrap it all up.
Running low on meat? No worries! Simply head to the grill, slice some more, and it will automatically transfer to your meat tray. Occasionally, you may experience odd requests; if a customer mentions, “You forgot something,” it’s a cue to fetch a soda from the cooler.
The Rules
Crucial for survival are the rules posted on the wall near your station. Pay close attention to them:
- If a smiling customer appears, serve him a soda.
- Any “wet moving bundle” he hands you has to be sealed and stored under the counter.
- Expect an inspection by a driverless car every Friday around 2 AM; exit out the back and avoid looking at the kiosk during this time.
- If the meat skewer starts pulsing, extinguish the flame and escape. The voices in the meat are enticing but dangerous.
- A faceless customer should be served cautiously—avoid eye contact.
- Close the order window if unsettling customers appear.
- Never open the door unless absolutely necessary.
Familiarizing yourself with these rules is vital; they are designed to keep you alive through the night shift.
Navigating Anomalies
A distinctive feature of Scary Shawarma Kiosk is the necessity of discerning between real customers and anomalies. Regular individuals will have mundane requirements, while the strange ones might exhibit unsettling characteristics.
Identifying Anomalous Customers
If you spot unusual traits—like white eyes, erratic movements, or nonsensical speech—this is your cue to act. Use the button to the left of the door to close the shutters and usher them away.
You should also keep an eye on the CCTV located to the left of your window. Utilize the night vision mode to catch critical signs of abnormality:
- Customers vanishing when the night vision is activated.
- Double images appearing on the back camera.
- Shadows clinging to customers.
Failing to notice anomalies may not result in immediate death, but allowing too many through can lead to malevolent consequences.
CCTV Monitoring
The CCTV system becomes your ally. It comprises two cameras: one for the front and one for the back, helping you identify potential threats:
- If a customer seems to disappear upon activating night vision.
- If you see a doppelgänger lurking behind them.
- If an ominous creature is clinging on to their back.
These red flags are critical; ignoring them might have dire repercussions.
Recognizing Confirmed Anomalies
Certain events have been confirmed as signs of anomalies that necessitate immediate shuttering:
- Customers whose behavior matches any CCTV red flags.
- An individual admitting they’ve been there before with a strangely ominous tone.
- Disturbing figures like wrinkled-faced women or twitching twins.
Dealing with Weird but Safe Customers
Not all unconventional customers signify danger. Some are simply odd, and to maintain your customer quota, you must serve them:
- A drunken man unable to pay.
- A karate enthusiast.
- A dancing lady.
Be wary of some, like a lady with an arm tapering to a point; results regarding her status can vary.
The Smiling Man
Expect to encounter the unsettling Smiling Man at some point. He will remain silent; when he appears, hand him a soda swiftly. He will offer you a wriggling envelope, which you must stow away under the counter. If served incorrectly, he may haunt your shift.
The Meat
Be cautious of the meat. If it starts to twitch or behave suspiciously, turn off the grill and make a hasty exit. Failing to do so can lead to chaos inside your kiosk.
The Inspection
The routine Inspection occurring at 2 AM is another strange ritual you’ll have to face. As your screen turns crimson and a car appears, rush to the back exit and ensure you turn away from your kiosk until the lights return to normal.
Encountering the Faceless Man
When the faceless customer appears, fulfill his order—while avoiding looking directly at him. This required the utmost caution as misplaced eye contact may lead to unexpected horrors.
Other Unsettling Events
Throughout your shift, you’ll likely witness an array of bizarre phenomena. If something feels off, closing the shutters momentarily can offer you respite. Just ensure you’re prepared to confront whatever is lurking inside if necessary.
In gearing up for your night shift at the Scary Shawarma Kiosk, remember that threat detection is just as, if not more, vital than mastering your culinary skills. Good luck in your oddball culinary adventure, and may you serve the right customers—if you can tell them apart!
