Toss. Roll. Serve.
Gimbap Heaven is a restaurant management sim where everything is a card. Ingredients, cooking tools, customers, even fire — all are cards you can drag, drop, and throw. Survive 30 days without going bankrupt and run your own kimbap shop.
Cards = Everything
- Drag, Drop, Throw — Drop rice cards into the rice cooker, toss a fire card onto the burner to ignite it, and fling finished kimbap to your customers' tables
- Physics-Based Interactions — Hover a knife card over ingredients to slice vegetables, place a rolling mat card to roll your kimbap. Cook with just your mouse!
- 4 Interaction Types — Absorb (rice into cooker), Stack (pan on burner), Event (fire to ignite), Take (scoop rice with ladle)
Hands-On Cooking System
- Step-by-Step Cooking — Prep raw ingredients, heat-cook, and combine — every step done by your own hands
- Timing is Everything — Food on the heat goes through 4 stages: undercooked, perfect, overcooked, and burnt. Pull it off at just the right moment!
- Multiple Cooking Methods — Stir-fry, pan-fry, boil. Use frying pans, pots, and rice cookers for diverse dishes
- Event Card Cooking — Use chopstick cards while cooking and turn a fried egg into an egg sheet! Discover hidden recipe variations
- Roll Your Kimbap — Seaweed + rice, add fillings, roll with the mat. From basic kimbap to tuna, cheese, bulgogi, and tonkatsu varieties!
30-Day Survival Management
- Daily Fixed Costs — Pay rent and utilities every day. Sell kimbap to turn a profit
- 6 Customer Types — Students want cheap menus, foodies judge quality, and couples order two of the same dish
- Patience Management — Customers leave if they wait too long. Serve fast and earn tips!
- 30-Day Growth Curve — Start with basic kimbap, unlock tuna and egg varieties, upgrade equipment, face the final challenge
Different News Every Day, Different Strategy Every Day
- Weather — Rainy days reduce customers; heatwaves lower patience
- Economy — Payday brings a rush; recessions mean only budget orders
- Local Events — A festival means customer surges! Construction delays deliveries
- Food Trends — A TV feature sends orders for specific dishes through the roof
- News Combos — "Rain + Payday" = prepare warm premium dishes! Read the daily news and plan your strategy
Permanent Growth Through Relics
- Sharp Blade (prep amount +1), Lobby TV (patience +15s), Lucky Coin (tips +15%)
- Negate rain debuffs with a Sturdy Umbrella, extend the overcook window with Heat-Proof Gloves
- Collect relics and build your own winning strategy
6 Endings
- Grand Success, Success, Scraping By, Close Call, Bankruptcy... and a Hidden Ending that unlocks when you discover all secret recipes and max out your regulars!
- What will your Gimbap Heaven look like after 30 days?
