Happy Cafe vs Prison Architect
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.
Prison Architect
Prison Architect is a prison-management simulation game where you get to assume the role of the prison warden of a private maximum security prison. Being your own prison, you will get to design it the way you like as long as the prisoners are treated humanely and have all the facilities they need, but of course, you'll have to take into account business and profits, as well as the fact that your prison will be able to handle the next intake of prisoners. Once the design's done, you can even enjoy breaking out of your very own prison via the game's Escape mode. The game also features immersive and heartbreaking stories that focus on the prisoners themselves as well as on the different aspects of prison life.Prison Architect draws inspiration from popular management sims like Dungeon Keeper, Dwarf Fortress and Theme Hospital and packaged everything it has created with a unique prison theme. Sounds like the sort of game you'd like? Well, buy the game now and try it out!
