The Chef's Shift

This game is amazing! It was on my achievement hunting 100% list which is why I started it, I also quite enjoying typing games because I'm quite fast at typing and I enjoyed that aspect of this game a lot! There is also a lot to this game, different customers, different food, different upgrades to pick from, side objectives etc. However, the one thing I never could have expected from a 2D typing game like this is the story! The story is funny, emotional and it even has plot twists that I never saw coming! I did run into a couple of glitches that would slow me down, which in a fast paced game like this can get a little frustrating, however it really didn't take away too much from my overall enjoyment. I would absolutely recommend this game to anyone that enjoys typing games. If you aren't fast at typing and just enjoy good story telling then I would still recommend it by turning down the difficulty of the actual game play. It was also a super fun game to get all of the achievements however if you aren't great at fast typing, one of the achievements does involve beating the game on the hardest difficulty. I was coming into this game expecting to enjoy it a 7/10 at MOST as just another casual game for me to get 100% achievements and then to move onto the next but I was pleasantly surprised and I give it a strong 8.5/10 overall super enjoyable experience!

剧情有点狗血，是个be结局。里面真的很多离谱，像是 五铃初代黑老大和 下水道 黑老大的女人有一夜情，并且生了一个女儿。然后 事情暴露后，五铃初代老大被 下水道 黑老大杀了，然后下水道 黑老大的女人自杀。然后 他们的女儿 被送去巴厘岛。然后男主（五铃初代老大的养子） 后来接管了 五铃，然后去巴厘岛谈生意过程中，和 女友伊丽莎白 分手，然后和 西奥（前面说的 五铃初代老大 和 汉娜的女儿）在一起了，后面意外得知 西奥是 下水道 黑老大的女儿（实际上是他养父的亲女儿），就感情破裂。然后西奥 意外摔下悬崖，男主消除记忆，整容改名，换新的记忆变成了 小偷。然后就是一步一步的揭开过往的真相。反正这个剧情真的很狗血，很离谱

I enjoyed it a lot!! I almost never game before. Happy to find a game I enjoy to play.

I found this an enjoyable and challenging game at the VH difficulty. Worth pointing out: 1) There is a "complete hardest difficulty" achievement, so casual players may not 100%. 2) The storyline is adult themed with drug use, violence, and a few swear words. One can mostly avoid this by skipping all the cutscenes (but must type "skip" at the start of each). I enjoyed the intensity of Typing of the Dead, Warioware-ish minigames, and the accelerated pace of Overcooked (but without the hazards here). Achievements were mostly captured in a typical VH playthrough and the "endless mode" achievement is brief. I wrote off the story early on due to the animation style, but there is a cliched-from-a-mile-away adult soap opera / crime drama that plays out. It can be hard to overlook the animation style (the emotion fx were sometimes charming and sometimes grating). It managed to engage me, but can be skipped with no consequence. Upgrades help balance out the difficulty that new dishes, customers (their variety is great!), and minigames bring. Currency (stars) bank over to the next chapter, so saving up allows an easier completion of early chapter stages. Strong recommend as a tense typing game with some fun twists. Theme may not be suitable for some, but was over-the-top enough to be enjoyed, but can be skipped through otherwise.

I picked this up on sale because it looked like a cute, cooking-management + typing game that was right up my alley. And it was! Absolutely - kudos on scaling difficulty, graphics, gameplay, music, everything so cute...and then the story... I mean, I'm not knocking the game or the story, let's be clear. Still a solid purchase, would recommend 5/5 especially on a sale. It's just I was not prepared for a telenovela (a typonovela???) I am not kidding - the plot from restaurant to restaurant seriously went from Days of Our Lives to La Rosa de Guadalupe. Theft, mafia, corrupt cops, drugs (???), weapon trading, adultery, amnesia, brainwashing, hidden identity, lost children. I have noooooo idea what I just played but I feel like I've seen too much and I'm waiting on season two. If visual novels aren't your thing because you need more stress/multi-tasking rather than simple clicking through storylines give this a shot. If you're hoping for just a cute game to brush off your typing skills....buckle up. You're in for a ride.

特别好玩！我很喜欢这种经营类的游戏，还能顺便锻炼打字速度，不同章节有不同国家的特色菜品，顾客也有各自独特的需求，玩下来很有挑战性也很有意思。有个问题就是，有时候会出现两个菜品，一个“咖啡”，一个“咖啡杯”，这种情况下“咖啡杯”的菜品就没法拿到，只能一直拿“咖啡”的菜品，最后没办法只能重开，希望能修一下这个问题

I don't know if this game has a rating but it's definitely not for kids. It's suitable for an adult who is learning to type. Of course, I got it in a Humble Bundle so I didn't really read what it was about before playing. I was just intrigued by the fact that it's a typing game. The only other typing game I've played was Mavis Beacon way back in the day. This game would be loads better if I could completely mute the music. Putting bgm all the way to 0 still has some music play during the dialog scenes. This is annoying because I often listen to other media while playing my games. If I mute the whole game then I can miss cues like the mice showing up or the ding when a dish is ready. The story can be confusing, and it can also have triggers for some people. I don't want to give away spoilers but I'll just say that it centers around two mafia families. While it's a fun game and the story was entertaining enough it feels like the typing could be better. You just type random words and no sentences. There's an opportunity where several dishes are linked together and those could spell a whole sentence. I assume this is an issue with figuring out how to implement the code to have a sentence make sense. There's also not much incentive to type faster but I averaged 45 wpm each game. I'm not sure if you can fail a level because I never did.
