Description

Scary Shawarma Kiosk: The Anomaly gives you the night shift at a small shawarma stand and one decision per customer: serve them, or turn them away.

Almost everyone who walks up is ordinary. The rest are not, and they are not obvious about it. What gives them away is small — a face that is slightly wrong, a sentence phrased the way nobody phrases it, an order placed with a beat of hesitation in the wrong place. Noticing that is the entire job.

Both errors cost you. Serving something that should have been refused is the dangerous mistake, but sending away a real customer because you were nervous is a mistake too, and the second kind is the one that makes the third and fourth judgment harder.

The stall itself stops being reliable as the night goes on. Details shift when you are not looking directly at them, which turns the routine of preparing food into something you keep checking. There is little here in the way of jump scares — the pressure comes from having to decide, again, with a customer waiting.
