Southside town, there's one small restaurant that is open from 10pm until 7 am in the morning. Nathan, the chef and the restaurant owner open that business differently.

The ex-chef Nathan retires from his job because of the tragic accident. He tries to open a small restaurant late at night. Follow the story of Nathan who serves people who he meets at night. When the night soup is open. A lot of night shift workers come to eat there. All of them have their problems.

a very fun game to play
I have only played Chapter One and decided to write my thoughts about the game :D
The night soup is a story-driven game with cooking as the main theme. Not only cooking, but you also got to hear the story from different characters in different chapters (That's my guess).
From the Demo, I saw a list of friends with affinity numbers so I guess we got to see their story if their affinity is high enough? And each character has their own favorite food, I think...
Pro:
- Gorgeous Visual Art and animation!! I got the vibe of heartwarming just by seeing them. I'm kinda distracted when playing mini-games just because I want to see the animation first, lol.
Cons:
- The problem is the dialogue. A lot of sentences just seemed awkward to me. I kinda have to read twice so I can understand the meaning of their words. Some grammars need to be re-checked too. This is a huge problem for a story-driven game because I cannot enjoy the game to the max since I always got distracted and confused by the language. And I think the dialogue text is a bit too small for my eyes' comfort...
And I found some bugs:
1. There's a speech that I think it's supposed to be Nathan's but somehow the customer is the one who said that (I got confused for a second) and vice versa.
2. I noticed there's a sound when we hover the button, right? But in gameplay, I don't see the button but somehow I can hear that sound when my cursor hovering the specific places.
Okay, that's all from my thoughts. The game has a lot of potentials, I really love the visual arts but a game is not only good because of the art, right?
Anyway, I'm looking forward to future updates and wish the best of luck for this game! <3
great game, and astonishing visuals.. 💖😶
LOVES THE VISUALS!!! I played until the Chapter 1 event and have yet to see the other events, but I have to say that I fell in love with the vibes that this game is giving me. it's a story-driven game with cooking minigames to spice things up! I love the gameplay provided as we can choose which menu to serve and buy groceries for the restaurant. There are lots of bugs and type errors that need to be fixed asap, but I can't wait for future updates and how it will turn out in the end!!
It was wonderful <3
great game, driven by good story. It's not about cook only, but also story. Hope this game continue to stable phase.
