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
