Expand your café by clearing neighboring land and buying them up. Decorate your café to beautify the place and don’t forget to keep an eye out for the food inspector for he is not one for waiting around. Serve him quickly and you may just get a higher Milinche (a.k.a. Michelin) score. There’s even a social element to the game where players can trade food and ingredients with each other.Giving the usual time management café games a wide berth, Dining Zoo is a café simulation game that has a more relaxing gameplay and is perfect to be played in short bursts throughout the day. If you’re looking for a café simulation game that’s not too demanding, Dining Zoo is the game for you. After all, even in a world where every human being has been turned into walking and talking animals, people will still need to eat... and this is where you come in!
Empires of the Undergrowth
Empires of the Undergrowth is an absolutely-unique ant colony management game that, despite being still in early access, has caused waves of interest and hype, especially within the indie community. The game features plenty of exciting and challenging game modes to put your management system to the test as you try your best to help your ant colony survive threats after threats. The game also provides players with a nifty little pheromones-based system to organize their ants into groups, challenges to earn crucial resources from, a progression system, as well as an upgrade system whereby you can invest Royal Jellies to upgrade an ant type, unlock a new ant skill, or unlock access to a completely new ant type.The game is surprisingly educational too. It teaches about different ant species and how they usually survive in the wild be it from the lack of food, their natural environment, or from certain predators. This might be particularly interesting for someone who has always been fascinated by ants and their colonies. After all, in some way, you'll be getting a digital version of an ant farm or a formicarium of your own!
Empires of the Undergrowth may be an indie game, but it's definitely one of the most innovative and interesting ones out there. If you are keeping your eyes on indie games that you might want to buy, this is one game you mustn't keep your eyes off of.
