December 2025 Update - Night 4 & 5, Christmas Event, Skins System Complete Guide

Double Night Release

For the first time in Road-Side Shawarma history, the developers released TWO new nights simultaneously. This unexpected surprise doubles the main story content and takes the horror to new levels.

What We Know So Far

Night 4:

• Builds upon all previous mechanics from Nights 1-3
• Introduces new survival challenges
• Features the mysterious new character
• More complex customer orders and patterns
• Enhanced horror atmosphere

Night 5:

• The story's continuation beyond Night 4
• Even more intense horror elements
• Advanced mechanics combining all previous nights
• Deeper lore revelations
• Likely the current "final" night before Endless Mode

New Character & Lore

The update description specifically mentions:

"Encounter new character and investigate lore behind them"

What This Means:

• A completely new entity/customer type
• Backstory that ties into the game's mysterious "Object Experiment" lore
• Investigation mechanics - players must piece together the story
• Likely connected to the phone guy or the organization running the experiment

Community Speculation:

• Could this be the "Phone Guy" finally revealed?
• Is this character connected to the trash bag man or siblings?
• Does this explain the "no exit" ending from Night 3?

See our Game Theories & Lore article for detailed speculation.

Difficulty Expectations

Based on the progression pattern:

Developer Warning:

"Would warn you, you might experience some bugs and something like that, since I nearly had time to test and polish out things."

Expect challenging gameplay with potential rough edges that will be polished in future patches.

Brand New Feature: Skins

"Introducing skins! Earn cash by playing Endless mode or playing Main Game"

Road-Side Shawarma now has a permanent progression system beyond just completing nights.

How Skins Work

Earning Currency:

1. Endless Mode:

   • Every 5 customers served = $25
   • Continuous farming potential
   • Best way to grind currency

2. Main Game (Nights 1-5):

   • Earn cash for completing nights
   • Bonus for perfect runs
   • One-time earnings per night completion

Purchasing Skins:

• Visit the Skins Shop (likely in lobby)
• Browse available skin options
• Purchase with earned in-game currency
• Equip your favorite skins

What Can Be Customized?

Likely Skin Options:

• 👕 Character outfits - Different chef uniforms
• 🍖 Meat Trompo skins - Themed spinning meat decorations
• 🥙 Lavash/Wrap skins - Different bread colors/patterns
• 🪟 Window decorations - Customize service window appearance
• 🔦 Flashlight skins - Different light colors/styles
• 🎨 Kitchen themes - Overall visual style changes

Rarity Tiers (Speculation):

• Common skins: $100-500
• Rare skins: $500-1,500
• Epic skins: $1,500-5,000
• Legendary skins: $5,000+

Endless Mode Economy Changes

New Earning System:

"Every 5 customers serve you get 25$"

What This Means:

• Endless Mode is now the best way to farm currency
• Long survival runs = big payouts
• Incentivizes mastering the game mechanics
• Creates a reason to play beyond story completion

Combined with Christmas Event:

During Christmas, Endless Mode gives you:

1. $25 every 5 customers (Skins currency)
2. Christmas presents (Event currency for gamepasses)
3. Multiplayer bonuses (Extra presents per friend)

Optimal Strategy: Play Endless Mode with friends during the event to maximize both currencies simultaneously!
