Crown Delights Deli

A note from the developers:

Hey there, player! Crown Delights Deli was developed as a BFA thesis game at the NYU Game Center. Each of us on the team are college graduates who were fortunate enough to receive funding to continue development after graduation in 2021. We were all determined to create an experience that authentically represents Brooklyn, as well as the experience of code-switching. We hope that playing our game helps shed new light on how code-switching may impact your life or the lives of those around you. Thank you!
