A free 1h idle/incremental game!

I got the game from a bundle and enjoyed playing it. It fun and I like the artwork.
It took me 2h30 to make one run but I will not replay it, I am fine with one run and move on.
While it is a luck of the dice at the beginning, you can eventually buy items to influence the dice role in your favour, so by the end of the game even with low roll I was able to collect debt without problem.

It is a game where I would rather give a neutral recommendation rather than a yes or no.
I eventually go for Yes because I liked the style and the story but I eventually got bored of the puzzles. There are couples per acts and I don't mind googling information to figure out the puzzle as intended by the game, but they are not interesting or often to make them interesting in the story, it felt a bit like why adding puzzles, I am happy to go for a story ride. I eventually looked at the solution to just continue and finish the story.
I will not reply it to unlock the achievements.

Excellent game, I really enjoyed it.

Excellent short game, worth it especially on sale.
I have done few run to get all achievements.

I had this game on my wishlist for a while and found it part of a bundle, so happy to have bought it that way.
I was looking for a game to manage a shop, sell cards and collect cards.
Great this game does that. You don't upgrade your shop at all (other than adding couple of decorative elements) but the selling and collection part is present and I enjoy opening packs and selling cards based on the market trend. Also the artwork is great.
From that point, couple of think I couldn't be bothered with: 1.the story. No clue what is happening, I don't care and thankfully it was short. 2. The battle, apparently there is a battle card possible in the island. Can't be bothered to do so.

I don't mind the rinse and repeat loop of buying/selling card, it is what I am looking for. So for that I recommend the game. However if you want in-depth management, then there is none. There is technically a harder mode you can unlock after the story. I tried it and after an in-game month playing, I stopped and thankfully we can revert the mode to normal. I didn't mind at all the tax part, but the reputation penalty of -4 everyday (why?) is so punishing that I was a terrible reputation constantly with the game being unfun to try to increase the reputation. The main problem is that there is not enough phone orders or tags to actually counteract the daily reputation penalty.

It is one of this game where I wish a neutral button would be good. But as I enjoy the selling/collecting part and the artworks, I still recomend it to at least try.

Fun game if you like this type of time management restaurant game, and it is cheap, so go for it for few hours.

Excellent 4-5h games, well made and enjoyable all along. I would love more game like this.
I missed 3 achievements, so keep an eye on guides if you don't want to miss them (I should have done that).

Played 5h and really enjoyed the game to a certain point. When I was able to have staff to restock the shop, I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to do some cashier/change the layout of the shop. But unfortunately the staff can't pickup new delivery (box from the street) to storage. So the game became a "pick up a box from the street to the storage" simulator.
I will not recommend the game yet, but I will come back when there will be more updates and the restock from delivery will be done by the staff.

I came for the visual, ambience, story rich point and click and I stayed all until the end as I loved it.
I used a guide to get all achievements which are possible in one play-through (just need couple of save to go back to just before a choice as there are only couple of mutually exclusive achievements).
Very much enjoyed the game and will recommend to any fan (or anyone) of point'n'click who are looking for a story rather than puzzle focus as there is no real puzzle/object to combine.
