Silence Ending Guide

Curiosity consumes - The forbidden envelope

This is a bad ending triggered mid-shift by interacting with the Smiling Man anomaly, serving him a soda, taking the envelope he offers, and then opening the envelope instead of placing it under the counter.

Violating the specific rule not to open the envelope results in immediate teleportation to another dimension and death by consumption, bypassing general error counts.

Unlock Conditions

Encounter Smiling Man
The Smiling Customer anomaly arrives during shift: wide unsettling grin, no speech, orders only soda. This encounter can lead to the Silence Ending if mishandled.
Rule Violation
Follow the Smiling Man rule exactly—give soda, take envelope with E key, place under counter without opening. The Silence Ending triggers when you deliberately open it.
Error Bypass
Not applicable to general error counts. The Silence Ending is a specific rule violation that overrides normal error accumulation—curiosity costs everything.
Difficulty
Medium difficulty—uncommon as most players learn quickly. The Silence Ending is a one-time learning experience for most who encounter it.

Tips & Strategy

Recognition

Learn to identify the Smiling Man: wide unsettling grin, no speech, orders only soda. Serve soda but never open what he gives.

Critical Rule

After giving soda, take the envelope by holding E, then PLACE IT UNDER THE COUNTER. Never open it, no matter what.

Storage Location

Place the envelope underneath the table in the kiosk. It must stay there, unopened, for the rest of your shift.

Temptation Resistance

The game may tempt you with visual or audio cues suggesting you should open the envelope. Resist all temptation—this is a trap.

Practice

Most players trigger the Silence Ending once out of curiosity. Learn from this experience and never repeat the mistake to avoid the Silence Ending again.

Game Rules

General Rules
  • Only serve shawarma to confirmed human customers.
  • Use security cameras before opening the door.
  • Check both CCTV cameras (Cam 1 front, Cam 2 back) and toggle night vision for every customer.
  • Do NOT serve anomalous customers. Mistakes add +1 error.
Specific Anomaly Rules
Smiling Customer

Give the customer a can of soda. Take the paper bundle from the customer by holding the E key. Place the bundle underneath the table in the kiosk. No matter what happens, do not open the bundle.

Faceless Man

Whenever he arrives, do not look at his face for too long and simply prepare his order. Closing the shutter on this anomaly is considered a mistake.

Inspector

When the Inspector's car arrives, do not look at it or close the shutter. Do not look at the monitor or the shawarma during the inspection. Exit the kiosk quickly and hide behind the trash can. Only return when sure inspection is complete.

Meat-pulsing Event

Turn off the power button for the shawarma stand. Exit the kiosk immediately and return only when the noises have subsided.

Fog Event

Close the shutter and remain inside the kiosk. Close the exit door to prevent any fog from entering the building.

Old Man

Close the shutter multiple times, and the anomaly will disappear (gets closer but harmless).

Masked Man

Close the shutter when the masked man arrives. Keep the exit door closed. Do not serve him food and ignore him like other anomalies.
