A brand new pixel art restaurant simulator based on the Touhou Project! Play as Mystia, the owner of a small izakaya. Collect ingredients by day, cater to the customers by night, learn recipes from familiar characters, and become the best izakaya owner in all of Gensokyo!
The game divides gameplay into two distinct phases - a day phase where you gather ingredients and prepare for the evening, and a night phase where you operate your restaurant and serve customers. During the day, you must carefully manage your limited time slots to forage for ingredients, purchase supplies from shops, and complete side quests from Touhou characters. This strategic resource gathering sets you up for the frantic night phase. In the evening, you spring into action to serve a growing number of customers, each with their own unique food and drink preferences. You must quickly prepare the right dishes, serve them to customers, and collect payment - all while the crowd steadily increases. Successfully fulfilling orders earns tips, which are essential for expanding and upgrading your restaurant.
As you progress, the game rewards you with new recipes, equipment upgrades, and the ability to hire helper characters. These systems create a sense of growth and mastery, as you gradually optimize your workflow to handle the increasing complexity. The integration of Touhou characters is a highlight - by developing relationships with them, you unlock special "reward spell cards" that provide powerful bonuses. This creates an engaging meta-game of strategically using these spell cards to boost your profits.
An additional layer of depth comes from the game's rhythmic minigame. By serving customers in time with the background music, you can earn extra tips and special bonuses. This rhythmic element adds an engaging, skill-based component to the core time management gameplay.
Reviewers consistently praise the addictive and satisfying nature of the gameplay loop. The balance between day preparation and night execution is a particular strength, with players feeling a sense of progression and mastery as they optimize their restaurant. The depth of systems and Touhou integration are also major draws. Players enjoy the sense of gradually improving their establishment and unlocking the unique abilities of beloved characters. The game's ability to appeal to both series fans and newcomers is seen as a significant achievement.
