A look at the game's features!
Substantial content: 30+ endings, hundreds of thousands of words of story, over 100 illustrated CGs, and strong replay value (including the Fate Shop). A first playthrough takes roughly 10 to 15 hours.
Over 20,000 people have wishlisted Taste of the Wind, and more than 10,000 have played the demo, with several thousand having played more than 3 hours even in the demo!
Management and real world knowledge: Running the restaurant closely mirrors real management. You'll set menu prices and store strategy based on the 4P marketing theory, manage staff wages, and more. Along the way, you'll pick up practical restaurant management knowledge (like table turnover rate), nutrition knowledge, and traditional fortune telling knowledge (like BaZi). The game includes 50 real Chinese recipes, each with a detailed, actually cookable method.
Ensemble storytelling and slice of life warmth: Beyond management, you get 5 stamina points every half month for free exploration. Exploring can net you new recipes, fun random events, and meaningful bonds. Every character, not just the protagonist and staff, has their own story, and the main plot includes some mystery elements, but multiple playstyles let you experience these five years however you like.
All artwork was hand drawn by the author, and the ending sequence features a commissioned theme song.
