Food Decisions

Food Decisions

The main gameplay is to compare the values and select the food needed for the task. Generally speaking, this game is boring, but it taught me a lot of common sense. Let me realize the importance of healthy diet. With that in mind, I decided to give a good review.

Kitsune Kitchen

Kitsune Kitchen

Quite standard visual novel, it probably takes 1 hour to be 100% completed.

The novel itself is about a chef that has to create the perfect BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) sandwich and of course, it takes place in a kitchen.

The graphics overall are quite nice and there’s a lot of humour, although the game’s too short and yeah most of all one has to deal with the parodistic/humorous aspects of this all. There are no naked girls, couples to meet, romance or whatever else.. it’s way more down to earth.

My point of view on it - review

You know the phrase this was so bad it’s good?

That would apply here for me, although I didn’t consider it bad, just good.

It was so good that it was good!

For the little price fee this game has you can enjoy the humour of hitting on kitchenware with hilarious endings that includes decent music that you could get in dlc’s for free at the time of writing this review. Therefore I would recommend it, no matter how wrong it is, the humour and laughs are definitely worth it.

Recipe for Disaster

Recipe for Disaster

The game has been in E.A. for 10 days at the time of writing this review. After completing the campaign, I am sorry to say it’s a thumbs down.

It’s not because of some bugs (like the WASD keys not responding), some weird pathfinding (like your employees using the back door and running all around the building to sweep the front steps) or some data base missmatch (like the patrons who both love pork loin and hate pork loin) but because the core game mechanics are shallow.

In short:

  • The recipe/culinary creation part and the expectation/feedback from patrons is a joke.

I feel like this game is a good precedent of a very shallow Early Access game. I literally played all 5 scenarios and tutorials 3 times including the bonuses. There are many things wrong with the game:

  • Constant UI glitches (like so many)

  • There is only 1 disaster that happens 2-4 times a day (fire)

  • AI is too basic

  • UI/UX overall is terrible (when viewing menu there is always a window that you cannot close on the right hand side and gets in the way of seeing your full menu/prices). Constant spam of messages in game you cannot turn off to0. I don’t want to know if Osama is making bad food every single time.

Make the Burger

Make the Burger

Short version: Basically, this is a fun little game, and given how cheap it is you’re going to get a decent value for your money.

It’s not without it’s faults… And those faults can be annoying, but at the end of the day it’s fun, I enjoyed it for a while, it costs as much as a small snack and lasts way longer.

Something that’s interesting about this game is that your currency is happiness - there’s a money score but that’s just your high score. You buy things with happiness points. Which doesn’t make a lot of sense but is an interesting game mechanic I suppose.

I enjoy the game concept, and actually found myself a bit addicted to serving everyone and unlocking more ingredients. Everyone watching me play and myself couldn’t get over how fast customers walk up, order, sit down, and leave in 10 seconds. I understand wanting a layer of challenge, but we were all like “wow chill why you leaving?” I think if they added the option of a “zen” mode where it isn’t too crazy that would be nice. It becomes almost impossible to keep up. Also, i like having to remember the orders but if they could add maybe a notepad or tickets of the pending orders like a real food truck that would be both realistic and helpful. Hope they have an update soon. Otherwise just felt like a good mobile game on a PC.

Winter Survival Simulator

Winter Survival Simulator

What was supposed to be a nice winter hike in the Mount Washington State Park with friends, turned into a dire situation. You are left alone to fight for your survival. With only marginal supplies you have to fight off of the cold, the wildlife and find your way to an abandoned ranger station in hope to be able to call for help.

While you haven’t suffered any injuries during the fall, you lost your backpack and hence most of your gear and supplies. You will need to find shelter, find some food and rest. Then it’s about making your way to an old ranger station to call for rescue.

Sounds easy enough, doesn’t it? It is, except for the supplies you are going to need for the trip, the weather, the freezing cold, not to mention the wildlife. The goal of the game is to survive. To prepare enough to make the trip to the ranger station and to deal with all the surprises along the journey.

Hunt or be hunted. You have no rifle and there is no combat. If you encounter wolfs or even a bear, stay away and run. You won’t be able to kill a bear with a knife, it’s not the movies.

What you can do is be clever about the wildlife and set traps. You might even be able to find some traps hunters left behind and use them to maintain a safe perimeter or to hunt smaller animals for food. Tracking, establishing the best spot and being patient is what the hunt will be about.

Cold, thirst, hunger and exhaustion are the four major factors you have to worry about. It doesn’t however end there. Injuries are another one and there is the weather. Spending the night in the freezing cold without any shelter is akin to a death sentence and trying to go out in a snow storm isn’t any better either. Don’t forget, weather in the mountains changes quickly and is unpredictable. You have to be prepared at all times.

You are not the first one person in this area. There have been many before you. More than a century ago some even lived here. If you explore your surroundings there is a good chance they may have left something behind that will still be useful to you. And while building a shelter on your own is certainly an option, it is a lot better and safer to adapt something that already exists.

You could find an old hunter lodge and fix it up to offer decent shelter and a base of operations for you to prepare, gather supplies and food and even hunt. You are going to have a long trip ahead of you. The better you prepare, the less risky it will be.

The rescue isn’t going to be instant. Despite modern equipment and well trained mountain rescue personnel, you are far away and their helicopter can’t take off in any weather. Between you calling for help and help actually arriving might take even a couple of days. Additional time you have to survive in the bitter cold at Mount Washington.

Great game!! Easily one of the

! scariest games out there , in my opinion! I like how

! horrifying it manages to be without jumpscares , not a lot of games can do that. The sprites are amazingly well done, especially the

! nightmare sprites. . Though if I were to have one complaint, the ending, at least in the route I played, was pretty confusing to me. I wasn’t 100% sure what was happening. But still amazing game, i feel like a monster after playing this, i’m sorry Anatoly 😔

THIS IS NOT A GAME FOR KIDS. It looks cute and like a regular visual novel and it’s not at all.

Story: You play a mysterious 5th person who lives in an isolated cabin in the woods. 4 strangers come to stay with you, and you must build relationships with them and provide meals every day. A terrible storm floods the surrounding area and you can’t leave the cabin for supplies. Also there are some talking fruits and vegetables that “help” out sometimes. And what’s in the locked basement?

Gameplay: Like most visual novels you choose options that change your destiny. This game is meant for multiple play throughs. The achievements will guide you to unlock secrets, new paths, and dreams. You can fast forward the dialogue and change the speed in options. Space bar or left clicking progresses the dialogue.
