❤ Gameplay Overview

The gameplay revolves around interacting with the various customers who enter the restaurant. As the cat waiter, your main objective is to greet the customers, take their orders, and serve them their final meal before they depart for the afterlife.

❤ Interacting with Characters

To fulfill each customer's order, you must dive into the character's memories to uncover what their favorite dish was when they were alive. This is done by clicking on memory shards that appear, which then trigger a short vignette or cutscene showcasing a key moment from the customer's life. These memory sequences provide insight into how the customer lived and ultimately died, setting the stage for the poignant, emotional storytelling.

❤ Exploration and Atmosphere

While the gameplay is largely centered on character interactions, the game does offer light exploration elements. You can freely move your character around the restaurant and its surrounding areas, interacting with various environmental objects and NPCs to uncover additional details about the world and its inhabitants. The game's gorgeous pixel art style and soothing, melancholic musical score work in tandem to create a pervasive sense of atmosphere. Navigating through the visually striking environments, such as the tranquil train station or the serene riverside, contributes to the overall immersive, contemplative experience.

❤ Narrative Choices

Although the game is a largely linear experience, it occasionally presents you with minor narrative choices during dialogues. These choices, while not drastically altering the overall story, can provide small, nuanced shifts in the way certain characters respond or the information you uncover. These choice-driven moments, while limited in scope, allow you to feel a degree of agency in shaping the story and your relationships with the various characters.

❤ Epilogue and Post-Game Content

After completing the main story, the game offers an epilogue chapter that provides additional closure and depth to the narrative. This epilogue can be accessed when you feel ready to continue the journey. Additionally, the game features optional post-game content that allows you to further explore the world and uncover more of the characters' backstories. This supplementary material provides a more comprehensive understanding of the game's themes and emotional resonance.
