Hello everyone! What kind of game is Taste of the Wind?
When you were a child, you grew up helping in your parents' restaurant. Life wasn't exactly luxurious, but it was carefree. One day, however, the restaurant was framed, and your parents passed away. You had no choice but to work various jobs to make ends meet. You thought life would continue like this forever, until one day, your long-lost childhood friend suddenly reappears... and she brings along a 1 million debt?! Your fate is about to be rewritten.
The once silent Taste of the Wind is about to see a new dawn, but the shadows of the past have not fully disappeared… Bearing heavy burdens, will you move forward with your companions? While rebuilding your family business, can you uncover the truth?
🌟Main Gameplay🌟
As the restaurant owner, your most important task is to determine the management strategy for your restaurant. You’ll choose the monthly menu, set the price for each dish, decide whether to renovate or expand the shop, and determine whether to provide top-notch service to customers or cut costs to increase revenue. Do you spend a lot on staff training or set a meager 2,000 monthly salary with 90-hour work weeks? These decisions… are all in your hands!
Of course, the most important thing is to survive. If your cash flow is negative for two months in a row—welcome to the bankruptcy bad ending :)
🌟Fun Mini-Games🌟
Cooking, cleaning, checking bill errors, handling customer complaints… from 6 AM to 10 PM every day, there are many tasks to be done! Come and experience the daily management routine!
🌟Sweet Moments? Learning? Visiting the Temple Fair? Enjoy the daily life of Stone Town🌟
The childhood friend who bought you your family restaurent, the childhood companion with whom you used to get into trouble, the mysterious girl with a fiery temper… Taste of the Wind features many unique characters. Get to know their past stories and grow closer to them through sweet moments.
Maybe someone would say, no sweet moments, I only want to work and study! In Taste of the Wind, you can also learn the exclusive knowledge of your employees. Want to know what table turnover rate means? Have you noticed the little tricks on the menu that grab attention? Which knife should you use first when chopping vegetables? Why do you add salt last when stir-frying veggies? How can you tell if an egg is still usable? Plus, there's Karate, fortune-telling with Bazi, and Purple Star astrology... If you're interested in these, chat with the employees and learn more! Knowledge isn't just numbers; it's practical tips, and one of the branches leading to different endings!
🌟Many CGs and endings?🌟
In Taste of the Wind, while you have the goal of paying off the one million loan in five years, your choices will lead to different endings. Will you be the boss who pushes employees but makes a fortune, or will you choose to be more ethical? Will you opt for a chain store strategy and expand aggressively, opening a large restaurant, or go for a Michelin-starred restaurant? Or perhaps... even though the restaurant is your main business, you’re more into investing, fishing, and games of chance?
All these choices will lead to your own unique ending.
