About This Demo

In The Way of the Tray demo you will have access to the first 7 game days and 6 yokai patrons, as well as the opportunity to improve the skills of your character and decorate the restaurant.

The Way of the Tray is a waiter simulator with action puzzle elements in a Japanese spirit world setting. After accidentally falling into the mystical world of spirits, you find yourself in a difficult situation: to find your way home, you will have to work in a local restaurant.

Master the art of keeping your tray balanced: every mistake can cost you a tip. Learn to manage your time so you can serve all your guests on time and prevent them from leaving because of long waiting time.

Immerse yourself in the mysterious atmosphere of Japan: serve unusual orders to yokai and learn all the secrets of local cuisine. Serve dishes that even mysterious spirits can enjoy. Today’s menu includes onigiri, sushi and ramen, and fortune cookies for dessert!

Develop your waiter skills to earn more tips and invest them in upgrades, and don’t forget to pay the rent.
