Kitchen Scramble vs The Endless Forest
Kitchen Scramble
Kitchen Scramble is a cooking-themed time management game that is somewhat similar to Cooking Tale though the graphics look a whole lot amazing due to the change in the camera view. However, when it comes to the gameplay, both games are pretty similar. You'll need to cook and prepare the food that your customers have ordered before they ran out of patience (patience level vary depending on customers) and leave your shop. Naturally, you'll want to serve them as soon as you can just to earn a lot more tips. These cash can then be used to upgrade your kitchen appliances - not much decorations for you to buy here though. If you need help, there are boosters you can buy as well.Kitchen Scramble features a really wide variety of dishes from different cultures and countries worldwide. Interestingly, although the game does have a travelling element to it, the cities you get to go to are rather humourously named, like "Mount Foodji" or "Sour Francisdough". It does give the game a bit more appeal, making players more eager to unlock the next city and the next one after that. Not to mention, aside from premium appliances, this game also has premium ingredients to help you earn more cash.
As much as I've enjoyed Cooking Tale, I personally prefers Kitchen Scramble mainly because of the camera view. It makes the game look nicer in a 3D-like kind of way and well, your character won't be blocking your customers either. However, if you're looking for an alternative to Kitchen Scramble or maybe a slightly easier, time management game, then you might want to check out Cooking Tale instead.
The Endless Forest
The Endless Forest isn't exactly a game but more of a playable screensaver. When your computer goes to sleep, this program will run and your deer character will then appear in a seemingly endless forest. There's no objective or quests for you to complete here. Instead, you are given total freedom to explore the forest and if you're lucky, you may discover something special along the way.However, this is about to change because the developer behind this screensaver program decided to turn it into a full-blown MMO, allowing players from all over the world interact and play together as deers. There's no chat box in the game and instead, you'll need to learn to communicate as deers do, that is through sound and body movement. There will also be more places for you to explore, besides the endless forest, as well as fun and relaxing activities to do.
You can still download the screensaver version of The Endless Forest is you want to get an idea of what the game would be about - It's completely free, after all, but if you want to play the actual game, you might need to wait a bit since the game's still under development.
