Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 7 → 0.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

so cute!!! turn your brain off fun, management style little cooking game :) so much to do!
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoy this game. It's in-depth without being frustrating. The music is nice; and I really enjoy learning about Hawaiian foods. And the added lifesim/rpg elements work really well. It's a well-balanced, well-paced, cozy cooking game. 10\10 hidden gem.
Kitchen Sync: Aloha is a passion project, and it shows. The concept is simple, the plot is relatable, the gameplay loop is easy to grasp and the food is delicious (don’t play the game hungry lol). However it’s not a game you can expect to play for many hours on end, because it soon becomes repetitive. You take two chefs and put them into a kitchen, and your task is to choose what’s on the menu, cook it and serve it to your customers. There are small variations: some kitchen stations break if you overuse them, customer come up to ask you questions or having to serve a VIP a certain dish with the amount of stars equal or more than their HP. All of these are, unfortunately, not enough to keep the game engaging, so personally I only play it for like 2-3 levels (15-20 minutes) per game session and then put it away. I think the game could benefit from a few more mini games apart from the events available in it (props for adding swap meet! It’s a fun way to get rid of unnecessary equipment and get something in return). Another tiny gripe I have with the game is that character portrait are not uniform in artistic style. Kala, Kai, Uncle, Hina, Drew and Lono all look like anime characters, whereas Pele resembles a Hades character, and Ana and her boss are drawn in a style that is different from the previous two. It doesn’t affect the impression of the game much, just something you can’t unsee once you notice it. All in all, it’s a good game and I hope the developer continues to expand on it.

This game is a sleeper hit. I hope that it gains popularity and that this studio gets more love. Kitchen Sync Aloha is a cooking game set in Hawaii. You work with a team of chefs and can develop everyone’s relationships with each other. This game is polished and addicting. I highly highly recommend. It’s the ultimate cozy cooking game.
very cute and wholesome :) also it makes me hungry
This game is absolutely fantastic
Incredibly fun and addicting gameplay, well paced with cooking levels and story bits. Unique combination of visual novel, cooking/time management, and real time with pause RPGs. Somehow you made it work! I really hope you release a sequel or other games like this, I will buy them in a heartbeat.
This game has been absolutely charming and delightful. A simple outing, but it wears its inspirations prouldy, and it does well by them. Lemonpepper says they made a cooking game inspired by the Fire Emblem style, and, you know what, they succeeded with flying colours. It feels weird to say when 2025 was full of such high profile games, but Kitchen Sync: Aloha is seriously top tier from that year. If I were to make a Top 10 of games that came out that year, Aloha would make an appearance. Gorgeous art, silly and earnest story, endearing cast, and just so full of heart. And the gameplay, of course! I was so deep into "just one more service" that I powered through the entire game, all the sidequests, all the supports, in the course of a week. The chefs, the skills, the levelling, the menus, the kitchen-specific-challenges, it all just comes together. At the risk of making the obvious joke, Lemonpepper absolutely cooked with this.
if you like story driven games but want them to also have more than just reading dialogue - this game is for you. I really enjoy the cozy cooking minigames as well as the story. I simply ADORE that you can ship the characters with each other - it is so much fun and I definitly see myself playing this more than once for this alone. I love a good romance and the different romance options for each of the characters are so much fun to explore. The gameplay is a lot of fun, challanging at times but not too much - still cozy. The characters are a lot of fun to get to know and I really can not recomend this game enough!
