just came back to this page after replaying the game one more time this is one of my favorite games in this free psx horror genre so far! i love the art consistency and, somehow, it has a great replay value that is some good stuff :) keep it up
This scared the shit out of me even though I KNEW it was coming hahaha. I managed to get two different endings. This was truly a blast to play and I'll definitely be checking out your other games! Here's my gameplay:
Tengo la suerte de haber jugado ya tres juegos de Grainwood Games y debo decir que esta es su obra maestra. Aunque los otros no son malos.
En Egg Fried Rice (el juego, no la comida) el protagonista se encuentra con un conflicto interno con el que todos nos hemos topado en algún momento y esto define realmente quiénes somos como persona:
¿Regreso al restaurante por la cerveza gratis que me gané como el maldito gordo atascado que soy? o mejor ¿me quedo a echarme mi arrocito frito en la comodidad de mi casa ya que soy un haragán de primera y no quiero volver a salir de mi casa?
Cada vertiente de este cuestionamiento existencial tiene sus propias ramificaciones llenas de aventuras.
Solo me queda recomendarles jugar este gran juego y a partir de ahora decidir qué hacer con sus vidas. Yo ya lo he hecho.
This game is freaking good, i like your dedication to details. I don't know how many endings this game has, but i got five(including the ending, where i was pursuing him when we met on the walking trail). So go on, it's really amazing!
This is very generous for a free game. So many possible endings. I wish there was a checkpoint so that we don't have to start at the beginning to see alternate endings. Overall, this game is amazing!
I've played this game before but only now realized that I had never actually commented here, so I came back to play it again and review it this time. I'll start off with the only problem I have with this game, the FOV, it's understandable to have a preferred FOV in mind from a developer stand point but at least make it a changeable setting y'know? The game is of course still playable and enjoyable don't get me wrong, but the FOV is just really uncomfortable at times and just leaves me wanting to set it to my preferred setting so I can see more of the world and enjoy it even more. Anyways with my only complaint out of the way, time for the stuff I liked (which was everything else). The environments in this game are so cool to explore, so many things to see and admire, the assets all look great and really tell a story, like the backpack and maps in the players bedroom hints at them doing a lot of traveling. The style of this game is also something unique to me because despite it fitting the retro look that a lot of games nowadays seem to be going for, it has its own style in the way it portrays it's world which really stand out to me, probably because with most retro horror games I can look at them and relate with being similar to another game or developer, but with Eggs Fried Rice and Grainwood Games in general I can't do that, This style is so specific to Grainwood Games that I wouldn't even compare it to the likes of Puppet Combo, and I mean that in a good way! The animations are superb as well, specifically the ones that stood out to me were the trash from the alley way blowing out in front of you, the takeaway menu flying off the counter onto the ground, and the Eggs Fried Rice being thrown at your car (though it was kinda hard to miss that last one), these little things give the game so much character that I don't really see anyone else in this genre doing. Speaking of character, the writing in this game is also very interesting, the story is very boiler plate sure, you play as a character that gets creeped on by a dude, very standard very scary, but their also exists some very small but not very obscure narrative elements that give a little back story to our character, that also seem to carry a very sad tone, the calls from the house phone and to the ex-partner from the phone booth both support this as well as the description to the "sleepless night" ending shows that there isn't a lot of love for the character we play as in universe and I love to see things like that happen in games like these, not letting the player character be a blank slate and instead giving them a real life with emotions and personality, it almost feels like a hidden side story or something like that which adds so much more to the game itself and doesn't impede or overshadow the overall story the game is trying to tell, putting it simply: I love to see character given to characters that don't need it, it makes the world feel that much more alive. To talk about the dialogue a little more, again yes, it is boiler plate stuff, but you can still write boiler plate story and dialogue well and this game proves it, the writer clearly had good ideas for this game and it really shines through in the previously mentioned extra lore bits and just general dialogue that this game had to offer. Sorry for the rambling, I just love to share my thoughts on great games like this, I find that I myself love a good commenter to get really specific with what they liked and, more importantly, didn't like about my games so I try to do that myself. Great work and great game and I'll absolutely be looking forward to more from Grainwood Games! (time to play reindeer games again...)
I LOVED THIS! Literally got scared by rice lol. The tedium of having to start from the beginning was worth it to experience all of the endings. Excellent job!
Fantastic writing! I was enjoying every bit of it! I even think the scares were effective! Especially as I've grown more desensitized to horror. The horror worked! 11/10

There's a strange graphics bug throughout the game. Is anyone else experiencing this?
A lovely experience of choice making, it was quite worthwhile to find all the endings and see the whole experience, no regrets.
I really enjoyed this game!
fix a bug where the flashlight lighting is just bugged after you restart the game
btw good game (couldnt figure out how do u get secret endings, trying to get 4th ending rn)
Good Game 👍
💬 Hey! I have a question about the radio music in the game.
The music that plays on the radio — do you know the name of that track?
Is it an original composition or from somewhere else?
I’d love to know the title or source of that music! 🎧🙂
It's an original Phonograph recording of "Daisy Bell"
The version in game is almost entirely unedited so it no doubt came from this Youtube video.Sabroso!!!!!

This was honestly a fun play. Good job man. Keep up the good work.
This game fucking rules. I played through all the endings and it took me a few hours.
The second ending took forever and was so satisfying to figure out but my fuck was this fun. Good job! <3
This game honestly had a nice little story to it. The jumpescares were great, I loved it, Very good job.

Buen juego aunque el auto se me quedaba bug a cada rato xD. (Pueden ver le juego en español con todos los finales en mi canal de YT. Gracias :p).

Loved everything about this game! Short, creepy, and a great story!
Happy To Have My First YouTube video In This Game!
SUPER solid for a 3 scary games series, or even it's own video like this!
It's Suth A Crappy Game That It's Not Fun At All. I Want Odaken And Kamimura To Play It.
Included this in my 3 game horror series. Second game. See my playthrough here:
this game was really good but stalker made me write a song abt him
Absolute peak
I LOVED THIS! Literally got scared by rice lol. The tedium of having to start from the beginning was worth it to experience all of the endings. Excellent job!
This was definitely a W game! Scared the hell out me and my homeboys, definitely recommend 10/10!
Very enjoyable game! I had fun and got spooked a few times. W game, W Dev
Nice job! Spooky, runs well, had a blast getting scared as heck. Keep up the great work!
Wow, I didn't expect this. The name looks ridiculous but it was very good!!! 10/10. + Interesting endings.
I love me some egg fried rice. Preferably without murder, though.
Amazing and funny horror game!! 🔥
