About the Game

Free Appetiser is a prologue for Diner at the End of the Galaxy, a management game where you run the only diner in a post-apocalyptic galaxy. Learn the basics of running an intergalactic diner, and see just how profitable (or non-profitable!) it can get!

Build grand dining halls, busy kitchens, and outdoor gardens where exotic crops thrive. Design a menu that caters to the diverse preferences of your alien clientele. Hire literally anyone who walks through your doors in order to staff your diner with the best cooks, gardeners, servers, and crafters in the Nusa star system.

Optimize your interior design to navigate rush hours and hungry guests. Decorate your Diner and sit back and watch your bustling creation come to life as customers pass through.

Making customers of different factions happy rewards you with Faction Points that can not only be used to request a visit from their traders, buy special objects and build special rooms - it also allows you to request a faction to invade a region of the galaxy. Earn monthly rewards for each successful invasion you fund!

So get started on your galactic diner today! You’ll have tons of tools at your disposal to make your own unique restaurant with your own uniquely weird menu.
