This game is not going to be anything crazy, but it's managed to scratch that itch in the back of my mind that hasn't really been felt since I played BOTW back in 2019
I've been going through a rough patch and this game has been something I eagerly look forward to everyday. This is less so a review to base your buying choice off of and more as a thank you to the devs for making something that's made me feel happy in a time when I've felt like I need it.

Edit:
One thing I don't really like though is the boobs on the girl characters, it feels kind of tasteless having 99% of your girl characters have these massive boobs with full cleavage showing. If it was one or two girls it'd be fine, but it's almost every single one. It's not even really a thing of 'Big boob bad' It's that everyone has full cleavage. My favorite outfit of Mitrielle so far is when she's wearing the black and orange chef outfit where her tits are covered up

I was pleasantly surprised at this game. From the start, it's clear that the game was made by a small team and not incredibly polished. However, a lot of love was still put into the game, especially with the characters, dialogue and gameplay mechanics.

The overall gameplay loop is fun: Grow crops and raise animals for ingredients, and then use these ingredients to cook better food and defeat other chefs in competition. Where the game really shines is the story and dialogue. It's clever and witty, and the cast of characters are all very likeable. It's a shame this game isn't more popular, but I understand that the lack of polish can be a turn off for many people. It's definitely worth trying and goes on sale for $2 quite frequently.

Great game, A lot of love has been put into the dialogue, its hilarious. Gameplay is really good too, my only gripe is that sometimes it feels a little railroaded in terms of unlocks, you are forced to play the story in order to unlock many of the new items which feels like it gives less agency to the player to do what you want. This is the same with exploring and being able to buy new items.
