Dessert Chain vs Happy Cafe
Dessert Chain
Dessert Chain is a very addictive and challenging time management game featuring popular desserts, including a particular dish that's very popular in the South-East Asian region. Developed by Indonesia-based games company, TouchTen, Dessert Chain features the somewhat frantic gameplay that you love in most time management game while adding in its unique charm by weaving its local culture into the game's gameplay. When it comes to upgrades, the game uses a system that resembles Cooking Fever, where players will need to use "premium currency" (also gems) to unlock higher level upgrades. And yet, interestingly, players can also collect these gems for free from each of the restaurants they have unlocked in the game.With so many levels to complete and 3 stars each to earn (to fulfill the completionist in you), Dessert Chain is one in many of Touchten's Chain game franchise. Fans of time management games will love playing this game, and from our own positive experience of Dessert Chain, we can confidently say that we recommend this game too!
Happy Cafe
Happy Cafe is a restaurant/cafe management sim that may bring to mind games like Restaurant City (R.I.P.). Unlike traditional cooking-themed sims, this game allows you to actually build your own restaurant from the starter restaurant that you get. Prepare and cook a wide variety of dishes from across countries and cultures, put them up on display counters, and serve them to your respective customers. Like most sims though, you can decorate your place to your liking, expand your cafe, upgrade your kitchen appliances and also, being a rather social game, invite your friends to help you out from time to time. Best yet, the game even has a nice eco garden where you can plant, grow and harvest your very own organic ingredients to be used at your cafe.So, if you're looking for a restaurant/cafe management sim that's more laidback and where its "cooking process" merely includes a waiting time, then Happy Cafe is the game for you. It may not be a time management game, which happens to be an area they are an expert in, but Nordcurrent manages to deliver a wonderful game nonetheless.
