Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Developing a game as a solo developer takes considerable time, especially when handling level design, writing, 3D modelling, texturing, VFX, programming, and more.
Early Access allows me to share the game in its current playable state and receive feedback from the community. This feedback will help guide development, improve existing systems, fix bugs, and shape the game as development continues.

Early Access is not being used to fund development. I intend to continue developing the game regardless of its sales or revenue, following my planned development schedule toward the 1.0 release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Project may be finished under 2 years.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“- We plan to release the future updates in forms of chapters.
- 1 Week of in-game time game-play will be released in every chapter.
- Players may get to see the world around them changing every week of in game time as the future updates stack up till the end of the story.
- The early access game plans to release with cozy and chill gameplay mode.
- There are plans for horror game mode with multiple endings which come from choices made by players.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“- The current state includes Week 1 of the game's story including the day 0 tutorial.
- The game-play already includes of player settings up the kitchen and start cooking.
- Customers like to talk to get to know the player's intentions and vice versa.
- The game is already in an optimized state and will be maintained as development progresses.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes.
The game will be priced lower for the early access purchasers for playing the unpolished version of my game. The true price of the game will be higher upon the full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“An open discord server with link on the Steam page and in game for players to submit tickets and bug report in discord.
Apply as a play-tester or just submit bug reports and they might be credited in the post game credits.”

About This Game

After struggling to find regular jobs as a tradie, putting food on the table was getting harder and harder as your daughter is growing up. You see a business opportunity and take a loan to buy a motel in the middle of nowhere in Tasmania. You move out of the shoebox apartment in Melbourne, Australia and head over to Tasmania.   
You arrive at the motel with your daughter and settle in. The locals come to meet and greet with you. While some are happy to have you and some act suspicious. Have conversations with people how you like, but remember this, CHOICES MATTER and your actions may have consequences later. You are a father and decisions may also impact your daughter, so choose wisely.
Cook food to orders, rent the motel rooms, and take care of customers while maintaining

Core game-play elements:
- Cook for your daughter and customers on a daily basis.
- Maintain the building in cleanliness and upgrades.
- Restore the motel rooms to a rent-able condition.
- Provide a laundry service for tenants.
- Get a chicken for the chicken coup.
- Buy pots for the backyard to grow your own produce.
- Maintain your sanity with eating food, drinking coffee, listening to music or by smoking (while trying to quit smoking).
- Earn money with every opportunity you get from talking to customers, and upgrade the diner and motels.
- Buy a car and upgrade it as you get parts and money.
- Deliver food to customer locations or hire a driver.

The horror twist:
- Maintain your sanity or you will start seeing things. Seeing weird things happen more common when your sanity is low. And if you die, you lose the day’s progress.
- If you make enemies with the locals, be careful to lock all doors at night.
- There are things in the attic and the basement that cannot be explained. Try to keep your curious daughter from going in there.
- Delivering food can lead you to suspicious places too.

In Short:

There will be some difficult times and tough choices. Are you ready you take up the challenge to restore the building and do a grand opening? Or will you chicken out and run away if things get tough.

The developers describe the content like this:

General video game disclosure where, if character makes bad choices, there will be some cult members trying to break into your home at night and kidnap or murder you and your daughter in game.
The monsters in the woods can also kill you.
