You create a Japanese-style restaurant in an afterlife setting, welcoming departed souls and spirit-like visitors as its owner.
Design and furnish the restaurant with themed decor, arrange tables, choose dishes to offer, and seat and serve customers. You can handle service yourself or switch on automation and focus on building.
Customer visits bring in coins, while leveling up unlocks more items. The game also includes guest conversations and personal stories, alongside a free-build option.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its calm atmosphere, visuals, music, and the freedom to shape a cozy restaurant at their own pace. Optional automation lets them concentrate on decorating, while some appreciate the short guest stories and characters.
