12 itemsAbout the Game
When the sun sets over Bali, your izakaya opens its doors. From dusk, people from all walks of life come through your door. Most just want food and someplace to spend the quiet night. Others carry grief for someone they've lost. And some nights, the ones they're grieving find their way to you too.
The izakaya belonged to your parents once. Now it's just yours.
Features
Manage your own Izakaya from the top to the bottom. Decorate them with items from the shop or mementos from your patrons. Stock your ingredients from the local market and drinks from both the liquor store and nearby supermarket.
Serve all kinds of skewers to your patrons. Choose the right seasonings to tailor the dish according to your patron's order. Keep serving them their orders and they will be back for more.
Get to know fun and interesting characters, such as: A human-dog hybrid waiting for his fiancée from shopping, a high school student struggling with achieving her dream, and a human-fennec hybrid detective in charge of a case in Sanur, and more! Listen to their stories and help them connect with others.
Set in Sanur, a quiet coastal district in alternate future 2106 Bali where technology and magic coexist with each other. Explore the area, connect with various vendors and help develop the local community.
Take your time to serve the patrons and vibe to the chill music.
