About the Game

About This Game

You have inherited a late-night diner that is slowly being forgotten.

During the day, you can go fishing, gather ingredients, and research new recipes.
At night, you open the doors, serve warm meals to your customers, and gradually get to know the people living on this street.

Some people just want a drink after work.
Some look troublesome, but only want a place to sit for a while.
Some always seem cheerful, while hiding their real exhaustion behind a smile.
And some people stand on stage where everyone can see them, yet still live with the fear of being misunderstood.

This diner is only a small place.
It is not a miracle that can solve every problem.

But as long as the lights are still on, someone will push open the door, sit down, eat, and finally catch their breath.

šŸ³ Run Your Late-Night Diner

In this game, you will run a warm little restaurant.

Collect ingredients, cook dishes, serve customers, and help this worn-down diner slowly come back to life.
Food will also become a way for you to build relationships with the characters.

A plate of fried rice.
A bowl of hot soup.

Sometimes, that may be enough to change someone’s night.

šŸŽ£ Fishing, Cooking, and Everyday Life

Besides running the diner, you can also go fishing during the day to gather different ingredients for the night’s service.

The fish you catch can be used in your cooking.
And one certain dish might become the beginning of a conversation, a character event, or a small change in someone’s life.

This is a story about waiting, living, and slowly spending time with someone.

šŸ’¬ Meet and Romance Different Characters

You will meet all kinds of characters.

A genius chef so calm she almost seems mechanical.
A cheerful streamer girl who is already exhausted deep down.
An underground idol who sings at a live house while being pulled between the internet and reality.
And a staff member who looks a little dangerous with a knife, but turns out to be surprisingly reliable.

They all seem different.
But maybe, each of them is only looking for a place where they can finally sit down and be themselves.

šŸŒ™ A Small Diner, Some Quiet Nights, and People Slowly Growing Closer

This is not a story about saving the world.
And this diner cannot heal every wound.

It is simply open late at night.

There is warm food.
There is light.
Some people come in.
Some people choose to stay.

And your job is to keep this little diner running.
