This is a freeware game called "The Restaurant" set up as an
experiment by some people at MIT. You can play as a waitress or a
diner, and the game encourages you to play between 7-9 PM, because
while the restaurant is open 24-7, it's most crowded with other
[real] players.
Graphically, it's akin to what first-person shooters looked like four
years ago, or so, except you can't kill the cooks.
The file structure looks a bit odd for an OS X application; I'll bet
there are ports of it for other platforms, or maybe this is a port of
a game for another platform. Looks a little Linux-ey, actually, but
maybe there's some sort of client out there for Windozers.
