Overview
DEADLINE DINNER is a casual strategy and simulation game from developers Shane Song and Else_If工作室. You play as an ordinary employee of the Hayano Restaurant Group, suddenly dispatched to manage a branch.
The catch? You have 30 days to generate $1,000,000 in revenue—or face termination.
This high-stakes premise turns every decision into a matter of survival, blending restaurant management with roguelite elements.
Highlights
- Roguelite Replayability: Each run offers a random selection of chefs, recipes, and management items, ensuring no two playthroughs are alike.
- Strategic Menu Planning: Choose between affordable dishes for high customer volume or premium dishes to maximize profit per sale—or find a balance.
- Management Depth: Hire staff, upgrade recipes, and expand your restaurant to meet the daunting revenue goal.
Who It's For
If you enjoy management sims with a twist of risk, or roguelite games where every run demands fresh strategy, DEADLINE DINNER will likely appeal. The permadeath element adds tension, while the life-sim and shopkeeper aspects keep the gameplay grounded.
It's a great fit for players who like to experiment with different approaches under pressure.
