In Kiosk, you step into the role of a night worker running a roadside fast food stand. Your predecessor mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind a quiet kitchen and unanswered questions. As you begin your nightly duties—grilling meat, pouring drinks, and slicing ingredients—unusual events start to unfold. Through dim lights and passing customers, something feels off. The mystery slowly seeps in with each interaction, pulling you deeper into the story behind the missing employee.
Managing Orders and Watching the Shadows
The gameplay revolves around preparing and serving orders to late-night visitors who appear at your window. Every shift demands attention to detail, quick reactions, and multitasking. Orders can range from burgers to beer to hot coffee, and mistakes affect your score. At first, it’s all routine, but then things change—strange noises, odd behavior from customers, and cryptic comments start to interfere with the normal pace. These subtle disruptions build tension as you juggle food preparation with the creeping realization that something isn’t right.
Three Game Modes to Explore
Kiosk offers three unique modes, allowing for different types of play:
- Story Mode: unravel the mystery through shifts that include narrative clues and character dialogue
- Endless Mode: focus on efficiency, speed, and customer satisfaction to climb the leaderboard
- Relax Mode: enjoy the mechanics without pressure, ideal for players seeking a calmer experience
Each mode provides a distinct take on the game’s systems, whether you’re chasing high scores or piecing together the storyline.
Uncovering Clues While Staying on Task
Clues about the former worker’s fate are hidden in plain sight—within customer conversations, eerie audio glitches, and items scattered around the kiosk. The duality of the game is in balancing your food service responsibilities while staying alert to what doesn’t belong. The quiet tension never fully breaks, and players who pay attention may find deeper layers in the seemingly ordinary tasks. What you choose to investigate—or ignore—can affect how much of the story you reveal.
Beyond the Grill
Kiosk is more than just a food service simulation. It presents an atmospheric experience where routine actions are disrupted by something sinister beneath the surface. The gameplay loop keeps players active while the slow drip of unease creates a backdrop for discovery. Whether you’re in it for the challenge, the mystery, or just the rhythm of the night shift, the game invites you to pay close attention—and maybe question what’s real in the glow of the kiosk window.
