Kokoro Kitchen is an adorable cooking restaurant management game that takes place in the spirit world. Of course, that means you’re dead and you don’t even remember how you got there! Don’t worry, though, there’s nothing scary about this cute game. Alan, the friendly (and grumpy) poultry-geist has a plan to restore a rundown Japanese restaurant with your help. That means it’s pretty much up to you to run and manage this restaurant. Alan’s a chicken, after all!
What does it take to run a spirit world restaurant? Fresh ingredients, of course! You’ll manage a small farm with a handful of crop plots that need watering and harvesting. Plus, there are a few animal pens where you can keep cows and chickens. Play mini-games to prepare the ingredients for your dishes, then cook a tasty variety of meals. You get to choose what’s on the menu everyday and even prepare to-go orders for customers. Spend points to upgrade the shop, then spend some money to buy new crops for the farm and decorations for your bedroom. There’s no sense in leaving your room bare!
Release Date
Kokoro Kitchen is coming to Steam on October 17th! That’s just 3 short days away. Add it to your Wishlist to get a notification when it becomes available. There’s also a demo right now, so you can check out this adorable little game before you buy it.
