    The gameplay is criticized for being low quality and frustrating, with issues such as fixed resolution and poor functionality like alt+tab not working. Players feel that the core mechanics are lacking and that the overall experience does not justify playing the game.

    • “Even if the gameplay was decent, this game fails all the basic tests: fixed resolution, alt+tab doesn't work, resolution is stretched to 4:3. It's just very low quality and not worth playing.”
    • “As this is one of the main game mechanics, there should be a better solution or alternative.”
    • “Gameplay shouldn't be annoying.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics received mixed reviews, with some users finding them low quality and unremarkable, while others noted that they were decent and effectively conveyed necessary information. Overall, the visual presentation seems to lack excitement and polish.

    • “And the graphics are pretty good.”
    • “Graphics are boring; the sound design is lackluster as well, and the voice acting isn't outstanding either.”
    • “There are a lot of graphics that do the explaining when it's needed.”
    • “Low quality graphics.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally well-received for its simplicity and ease of understanding, providing around six hours of gameplay. However, some players question the authenticity of the cooking experience, noting that preparing over 500 meals in such a short time feels less like traditional cooking.

    • “The story is engaging and easy to follow, providing around 6 hours of immersive gameplay.”
    • “The narrative is rich and captivating, making every moment feel meaningful.”
    • “I was drawn into the world and its characters, with a plot that kept me invested throughout.”
