Editor takes
“A tight debt-countdown score loop with mouse-only serving, but the "short" tag is honest — there's no upgrade path or long-term hook to keep a spreadsheet brain busy.”
“The sick-cat debt setup and autumn festival warmth make Anya's last day genuinely tender, even if the writing stays short and sweet rather than deep.”
“Second place in a 231-entry jam says it all: this is a polished, cozy little sim that nails mouse-only cooking and adorable art without overreaching its scope.”
How to play
The game is played entirely with the mouse. Drag and drop ingredients to add them to recipes, and left click to serve customers, advance dialogue, and navigate menus. Serve each order accurately and promptly before the festival day is over.
Tips
- Read each order carefully before clicking to serve.
- Learn the recipes early so you can assemble them faster.
- Watch for the cat messing with your ingredients and correct course quickly.
- Keep an eye on waiting customers and serve them in a steady order.
- Prioritize accuracy over speed, then build up your pace.
