About This Game

One last craving before crossing over.

The broth bubbles as souls take their seats, still clinging to their past lives. With Meng Po as your guide, turn cards into food and help your guests let go, ready to be reborn.

Even ghosts are picky. Play your cards right.

Five pot compartments, plenty of picky souls. Guests choose their own food, so plan ingredients around their tastes and patience. Help them let go before they get fed up: wrong flavors cost popularity, and long waits mean they leave without paying. Fail to satisfy a demanding VIP, and your run is over.

Good cards make a good broth.

Build a deck around ingredients and flavors. Use cooking cards to alter the food in your pot, and drinks and action cards to control the pace. Choose different card upgrades to make the same ingredients work in new combinations.

Closing time is planning time.

Plan shopping trips and card upgrades on the calendar. Buy cards and seasonings, and find relics: special items whose effects last throughout the run. Resources are limited, so every purchase shapes your next strategy.

A taste of the underworld.

Fish from underworld waters, red-scaled snakes, even dishes made with lizards from volcanic craters… Then a guest calls: “A medium drink, light ice, lightly sweetened!” Even ghosts know exactly how they like it.

There's more simmering out on the street.

Explore the food stalls for odd jobs—or meet a chef who once cooked for state banquets, now furious about cilantro. Your decisions affect money, cards, relics, and popularity, shaping the rest of your run.

Wishlist Lingering Soup and come to Naihe Bridge when the broth is ready—there are hungry souls to serve.
