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!
Suburbia 2
Suburbia 2 took the series to a new level by providing a different gameplay as compared to the previous game. As opposed to simply reusing the "life simulation" formula, the game puts you into the shoes of an up-and-coming suburbian-based caterer who has just taken over the family business after your uncle, who was managing the company before it was passed on to you, mysteriously disappeared. However, once Liselle, the lady who is temporarily filling in for your uncle also gone missing, you begin to think that life in suburbia might be quite dangerous after all.Overall, the game has a very intriguing, mystery-filled storyline that rivals that of the original game, an interesting cast of characters, and a gameplay that’s quite engaging, but unfortunately, the rather ridiculous waiting times in this game may put a lot of players off. If you plan on giving this game a try, we would highly recommend playing it in small doses rather than spending hours on it at a stretch. That way, you won’t feel as frustrated about the waiting duration, and will actually be able to enjoy the game’s story.
