Dreland Enterprises has launched the PC Early Access for the restaurant management simulation game "Bubble Town Restaurant Story" on Steam. The game is typically priced at 2,100 yen, but will be available at a 40% discount for 1,260 yen for the first two weeks after release. It supports online co-op for up to four players to run the restaurant together.
Developed by ArtDock, the creators of the co-op action game "SOS OPS!!", this title is set in a seaside town inhabited by animal residents. Players start with a small kitchen with limited space and gradually expand their business by adding equipment, designing menus, cooking, and serving dishes.
The game can be played solo or with up to four players in online co-op mode. Participants can take on different roles within the restaurant, such as preparing ingredients, cooking, serving customers, and handling payments.
Beyond running the restaurant, players can grow ingredients, go fishing by boat, explore the forest, ride around town, or visit the arcade. The town features dynamic weather, seasonal changes, and a day-night cycle, along with activities like interacting with residents, soaking in hot springs, and feeding seagulls.
Players can customize their character's appearance and outfits, as well as personalize their home, restaurant, and garden with furniture and decorations. The development team stated that they will continue to add content, optimize the game, and make improvements based on player feedback during Early Access.
