Egg Fried Rice
A downloadable game for Windows
It's the middle of the night.
You need to rest but your stomach is growling and
it's all you can think about.
You're never going to fall asleep like this, you can't
fight it. Is there any food in the house?
Something quick? Something easy?
Perhaps you will have to visit the local takeaway
and order some EGG FRIED RICE...

About:
Inspired by the sublime boil Noodles at Night!
This is my addition to one of my favourite
sub-genres of Itch horror:
"going-to-the-store-in-the-middle-of-the-night-
to-get-a-mundane-snack"
This game started out as a tongue-in-cheek homage
but evolved into a different beast entirely.
If you love these types of games too,

A note on
Multiple Endings:
This game is on the longer side of multi-ending
games here on Itch. My philosophy on multiple
endings
has always been that they exist so that
different
actions are rewarded or recognised by
the game, leading
to outcomes that differ based
on choices.
What I have found is that many players will pursue
EVERY ending one after the other.
By all means do this, but please be aware that the
game
is going to seem very repetitive if played
this way, in my opinion.
The design intent is not that you grind your way
to 100%
completion lol
Please play until you get bored! :)
Known Issues:
If you are having issues with a controller, please try
closing Steam or disabling the in-game overlay
as it can interfere with inputs!
On 2 occasions (out of HUNDREDS of playtests) I
have had the car clip through the ground at the
start of the game. If you cannot progress at the
beginning, and cannot find a car just restart the
game. I may have fixed this, but because it was
always so rare and hard to replicate, I have no idea.

Really enjoyed playing this, short but exciting to play with multiple endings.
P.S
I think the car needs new brakes 😆
I totally neglected to write this in the controls section, but LOTS of people have mentioned the terrible brakes, and well... You can press Spacebar to brake! Very few people seem to have naturally found this out XD
Maybe I should update the description...
You're telling me an egg fried this rice?
I had a lot of fun playing this with a friend!
Congrats to the dev on getting this to the top of the most played Itch games. Yes, it is horror. Yes,that is an oversaturated genre that appears everywhere here. Yes, this game has enough merit to stand out in a sea of seemingly similar titles. And the choice of title, 'Egg Fried Rice' is super weird but fortunately it isn't just about that.
It is a short narrative horror and it has some intriguing endings. It is unnerving and succeeds in leaning into a somewhat janky and low end look, making that actually fairly effective. Which is good.
For the devs of this game or any other indie creators stumbling onto this... if you want some more mobile type, PSX sort of low polycount 3d assets, maybe a giant library of textures to work from, note that I have thousands of assets on sale for under $2 right now.
That may prove useful to many of you, and there are a few little freebies there as well. If you miss this sale, also, recognize many US holidays have one day sales attached to them, So the next two, Labor Day and Halloween, for example, will have everything that's there now plus a lot of added updates. Keep an eye out for big new things there in the next few months. Thanks!

NOOO, MY FAVORITE EGG FRIED RICE!!!!
Impressive low-poly game, feels like i'm playing old games back in the 2000s LOL, A FOR YOU!
What a fun game! I had so much fun finding the different endings and seeing different outcomes. Great job, definitely one of my favorites.
Hey Grainwood! We played you're horror game on twitch with chat, and almighty was it scary! The panic within my soul when i read the fortune cookie i knew exactly what was gonna happen next xD Stay awesome and thank you for the game! ^^
Finally played this game and it was great! the only problem i had with it was that getting all the ending's took to long cuz of all the driving you have to do but i still enjoyed the game and got all the ending's!
▲GO WATCH▲Amazing!!!! This game is definitely one of my favorites.
ps: I really would like to know the song in the Chinese restaurant ♪( ´▽｀)
I LOVED the environment you made. Very well done, I really enjoyed this experience (I had to go get the other endings off camera I enjoyed it so much)
Definitely a great game, great atmosphere and story. Nice easter eggs including some lore from a previous game. There's multiple endings but as stated in the description, it wasn't intended for you to get every single one which I could start to realize after about the 3rd time playing. Other than that, beautiful work. I am a huge fan of Grainwood Games after this game and Ritual.
I softlocked by getting stuck on the rear corner of the car when it was parked in front of the Chinese restaurant
Imagine if Uncle Roger started playing this game
This game is very nice,but my old computer cah't run it,because it doesn't support Vulank😂.
I was pleasantly surprised by this game! The eerie atmosphere was incredibly immersive, and the humor added a delightful touch. I loved the level of interaction and the polished execution throughout. The multiple endings provide great replay ability making for a fun and extended experience. (I only Played 1 ending)
This was really really good! i was surprised. i loved how there was a good amount of interaction, and everything was well polished and i loved the game in general.
great game!
