Game description
Hey! You've come to the right place, newbie!
You're a new employee at a takeout pre-made meal shop.Complete the tasks your boss assigns, uncover hidden clues, and(no further details here)..
Survive and have fun!
This work is a 3d, frst-person perspective simulation businessraising game that contains some resource management and roughlike gameplay.The game focuses on the story of a misguided littletakeaway workshop who needs to fnd an escape from his endlesslabour.

Theme interpretation
Structural issues are like tidal waves, pushing us day after day to make those unavoidable, endlessly repeated choices. We yearn for a super microwave to lead us in breaking conventions and shattering constraints. Even in our smallness, we can use the resonant “waves” we create to alter those immense tides.

The art looks great, the mechanics are well written, the sounds are sweet, but sometimes the screen turns off in the middle of the game. Still, I had a lot of fun. Also, when you try to put more than one thing in the microwave, everything you put in burns. I guess you added that on purpose :) Good job, the game looks really great.

非常好游戏,令我想起了曾经等拼好饭破防的经历

Very good game, it reminds me of the experience of waiting too long for takeout and getting angry.

Very visually striking game, you captured the vibe of a boring little takeaway shop perfectly I love the low pixel 3D art style you went with. The employee hand book is super cool and the sound design is nice. I like the little timing minigame on the microwave. The issue I think with the game is the core loop is slow and vague. Like I thin you are going for a Paper's Please vibe, but that game despite being 'boring' keeps you constantly moving. In this the flow is kind of killed as you stare at a microwave for most of the game. It's also not clear how far you are from ending each day and there is no like easy way to assess if you bought the right amount of stuff or not. I ended up losing because I tried for one of the bigger upgrades after buying what seemed like enough stuff. It's a shame because the mystery seemed really cool and I wanted more but it was just kind of slow to get anywhere with it. I think if you could find the legs and a compelling core loop that kept  you more active this game would be awesome. It's got a lot going for it.

Thank you so much for your feedback—it really hits the nail on the head regarding this game design issue. You’re absolutely right: the tedious waiting periods and the pressure from backlogged orders create a real tension. There are also some optimization issues… We’ll be rolling out a major update based on your suggestions and can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
