About the Game

90s Turkey, your father owns a toast shop in a desolate rural area stopover. He has given you the duty of keeping the business running while he is away. Mysterious events unfold while you prepare toasts based on the customers' requests... 

In Tostchu, you assume the role of a temporary manager of a toast buffet and you have to manage this buffet during a series of late evenings when the toast shop receives the most customers. You are confined to the buffet throughout the game, which consists of a small living area, a walk-in refrigerator, and a service area. Every day open the shop's shutter and prepare toasts for the customers, earn money, close the shutter, and order new ingredients for the next day with your hard-earned money. It is as simple as that!

During the game, you may witness some mysterious happenings surrounding the buffet and its local, through the conversations with the customers, through your humble radio and television, or with your own eyes.

  • Retro PS1-inspired visuals

  • Randomized events and customer orders

  • Detailed toast-making system with temperature and rot

  • Management of the shop with a sell-buy cycle, and cleaning

  • Exotic, unique, and intriguing storyline
