Shokudo Underworld

so fun, cute and cozy~

This was a short but impactful and delightful experience from start to finish. I couldn't recommend it more! Perfect for a cozy and heartwarming lazy day. I find myself thinking about often.

Very cute little sushi shop game, highly recommend to those who like cozy shop running games.

It is a shorter game, but the price fits with the content amount for me (I have a rule of $1/hr of gameplay). It scratches that diner style itch without being too complicated. The art style is unique and there is a bit of story, although I would have enjoyed a bit more. Overall a cute and fun game to play in an evening.

Just finished the game, and it's pretty quick. I liked it, but it's also very simple. I liked the art, it was all pretty cute, and the task flow wasn't that hard. I got it on sale for like $4, and I wouldn't pay more than that for this game. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of replayability for the future, at least for me. I recommend it, but only if you like the art style and can get it for cheap. Otherwise, I don't think it would be worth it.

Shokudo Underworld? It felt like Dango Stand Underworld to me. I really wanted to like this game, I truly did. My tolerance for game mechanics versus atmosphere is usually really high, which is why I like idlers and other causal games. Who doesn't like a relaxing little minigame after a long day? But in the end, a cute atmosphere and art style isn't enough to carry a game, no matter how casual. Pros: Beautiful artstyle, cute music. Very whimsical and charming! Rainbow unicorn puke being one of the ingredients is incredible. Cons: Frustratingly broken leveling and progression. When I figured out that there was very little point to selling recipes outside of ghost dango until later on it kill all motivation for me to continue. True, setting the menu to ghost dango only turned my XP multiplier to 0.5x, but it didn't matter because the XP scaling to gold income ratio is so skewed. At one hour into the game, I had already leveled up to the point where I was starting to run out of recipes to unlock, but was hundreds of gold behind even unlocking the ingredients required to make those recipes. I then turned to dango selling because it was very high gold income with the earliest unlocke…
