About Diner in the Storm
Diner in the Storm is a thrilling escape game where you take shelter in a diner from a sudden storm. You are safe for now, but its not long before you realize theres something dangerous outside the thin diner walls. Leaving is easy, but convincing everyone else to come with you might not be.
How to play Diner in the Storm
Nothing here needs explaining twice. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.
