Running your little seaside restaurant

You start with a small kitchen and build it into the restaurant you want. You install equipment, put together a menu, and serve guests, from a few simple orders to a full dining room of hungry customers.

Up to four of you can run the kitchen together, splitting the cooking and serving while the restaurant grows. It is hands-on work with a clear payoff: better gear, more dishes, more regulars to feed.

A town to live in after service

When the aprons come off, the town is still there. You grow crops, fish from the shore or a boat, gather resources in the forest, and wander past shops, cozy corners, and the arcade.

Weather, seasons, and a day-night cycle change what each day looks like. You also decorate your house, restaurant, and garden with furniture and styles of your choosing, and reshape them whenever you like. Friends can join the chores, or you can skip work and race boats, play basketball, and fire water guns.

Good to know before you open up shop?

Can you play it solo?

Yes. You can run the kitchen, farm, fish, and decorate on your own, and bring in up to three friends in co-op whenever you want company.

What kind of restaurant work do you do?

Growing the restaurant is tied to keeping service running, not just decorating it.

What is there to do outside the restaurant?

You can farm crops, fish from shore or boat, collect forest resources, explore the town, visit the arcade, and play boat races, basketball, and water-gun games with friends.
