How does the game fit the theme?
You cannot trust what a customer says. You should only use the book which you are given, which is unreliable at times, to make your decision. You cannot fully trust that a customer is real due to the things that they order and the way that they speak to you that cannot be spotted at a first glance.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

I couldn't seem to figure out where the water is? It looks great though, plays good as well, and the story seems quite fun!
The water is here, will make clearer in the future! Thank you!
I tried to click it, but it didn't seem to work, I'll try again now.
You need to place a bowl in the sink and then X while hovering on it! I should have made it more obvious, sorry!
that's fine!! great game, just patch a few issues with strange control system when you next have time, and it'll be even better!!
Thank you!
The pastel monster cafe is adorable, which makes "spot the humans hiding among them" land even better - lovely art.
Thank you!
The vibe is nice, the overall gameplay and controls were a bit jarring and some of the text was a bit hard to read at times and I was a little confused what to do but after a bit it started to make more sense.
Thanks for the Feedback! I'll work on making the game easier to understand!
We have a similar game, love the art styles and music. Great work!
Thank you!
Great play on the theme, love the story, intro, and the visuals. Very high marks on that and I am sure this game would be super fun if I understood the controls but still 5 mins in it was hard to even understand how to compelte an order or how to get an order, pick up stuff I still didn't figure out even using all the controls. I think this would a project worth expanding on
Thank you for the feedback! You have to drag to pick stuff up.
I really like the idea of playing as a monster that keeps an eye for humans in disguise, it's a very cool twist.
This game has a great style and personality with details like the customer book which is very fun to go through.
As others have said, it's pretty hard to understand the controls. If you expand this project it would be great to have a tutorial segment instead of having to memorize everything from a book.
Overall nice work and I'd like to see more of that!
Thank you!
Cute game! I loved the art style. Same as others. controls were a bit confusing. Also the scale of the character to each camera block felt a bit crowded. If things could have been a bit smaller I think it would have felt more spacious.
Thank you for the feedback, will change next time I update it!
This game had cute vibes all around and I really loved the art style and character dialogue. I do have to agree with the previous comments that the controls were confusing and for me, a bit overwhelming with how many things I had to click. Though the books were cute and filled with information, I just felt overloaded with it TT
Thank you for the feedback!
Adorable art style but I couldn't figure out how to access the cookbook etc so I was a bit lost, would love to give it another try before rating if you can help with the controls etc
It's R to open the cookbook and A and D to turn the pages. R to close the cookbook again. Thank you for the feedback, I'll probably write the controls in the description!
Wonderful art style.
Thank you!
Hey I love the art style and it fits the theme really well! But I couldn't figure out how to give the food to the customers and the cook books pages wouldn't turn! I'd love to see where you take it next though this is the kind of game I really like! :)
Sorry that the game is confusing! It's A and D to turn the pages in the cook. To serve customers you have to place the food near their lap and hold Q while moving your mouse around. Thank you for your feedback!
