My Cafe: Recipes and Stories vs Turmoil
My Cafe: Recipes and Stories
My Cafe: Recipes and Stories is the simulation game to play if you enjoy the intrigue and storyline in games like Suburbia 2 and yet love the idea of managing your very own virtual cafe. Partner up and help your friend Ann in the classy cafe you both own and manage it to the best of your ability. In some way, the game feels a lot like a tycoon game mainly because you can actually adjust the prices of the food and drinks you sell. The profits you get can then be injected back into your business through the purchase of beautiful decor or even building a new restaurant.There are also various special recipes that you can discover. The best part though is the many compelling stories you'll be privy to whenever an interesting customer enters your shop. You can even interact with the customer through a selection of dialogues and influence the plot. In some way, through these tiny snippets of gossip, you can learn more about the town and the residents in it.
My Cafe: Recipes and Stories is a pretty unique cafe simulation that fans of games like Suburbia 2, or even restaurant simulaiton games in general, may enjoy. If this sounds great to you, well, be sure to check the game out!
Turmoil
Turmoil , developed by Gamious, is a tycoon-like simulation game where you play as one of four oil miners, all of which are hoping to get rich on what is supposedly "black gold". This game offers a charming yet humorous take on the 19th century oil rush in North American in addition to letting players participate in this momentous period of time. Bid against other entrepreneurs for land that potentially contain enough oil for you to strike it rich, dowse for oil deposits and build oil rigs to mine them. There are also two companies you can sell all the oil to, and depending on the prices they offer, it's best to choose the most profitable time to sell.Of course, as you drill for and sell oil, the money you spend in town will help it develop and grow. In return, you can grab a ton of beneficial upgrades for a price, which, in turn, will help you earn even more money. Eventually, you can even buy town stocks and try your luck at becoming the mayor!
In addition to being incredibly addictive to play, Turmoil is a game that perfectly embodies the crazed mentality of the oil rush back then (and perhaps even now). Granted at not all game mechanics are realistic - it is a game after all, but if you love tycoon-like simulation games, you'll definitely enjoy playing this one.
