One day. That's all that's left before Pizza House opens for real.
Before we get there, we owe you something. 100,000 of you wishlisted this game. A hundred thousand. Thank you. Not just for the wishlists, but for a lot more than that.
Thank you for the feedback. Every report, every "this felt bad", every suggestion in our Discord and on the forums: we read it. A lot of what's below exists because someone took the time to tell us.
Thank you for the interest. For sticking around, for asking questions, for waiting.
And a big thank you to everyone who found us through Wrap and came over.
Here's the spoiler you've been waiting for: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
🍕 The kitchen got a lot bigger
The fryer line is in: fries, onion rings, chicken tenders, breading trays, cup holders, the works. New ingredients on the board, including cheddar, roast beef, minced meat, pineapple, shrimp, basil and mozzarella. Wine service on the floor. And every single station now upgrades through three tiers.
These aren't just numbers going up. An upgrade changes how a station actually works, and some of them make the job dramatically easier. That matters, because the further you get, the harder the shifts push back. The upgrades are how you keep up.
Just don't forget they need looking after. Stations wear down, floors get dirty, things spill. Keep the wrench and the mop close.
👥 You don't have to run it alone
Hire staff. Candidates come with rarities and traits, so who you hire is a real decision. Assign roles (Porter, Fryer, Assembler), post the jobs, and watch your crew work the line, take their breaks, and talk to each other while they do it. They're there for a reason: once the restaurant grows, a good crew is what keeps you from drowning in it.
📅 Every day is different
Over fifty calendar events can change your day. Check the calendar, choose your restaurant motto, and prepare for whatever comes next.
🧑🍳 Make yourself
Full character customization: hair, hats, eyewear, outfits and faces.
🏆 Leaderboards & Things You Can't Buy Legally
See where you actually stand with full stat breakdowns and a complete achievement set to chase. The dark web is open for business. We're not going to say more than that.
🛠️ And the whole place got rebuilt
New walls and ceilings, a redone exterior, distant buildings, traffic on the road outside, and a serious optimization pass across the board.
🐈 For Sütlaç
One of our artists lost his companion of fifteen years, Sütlaç, while we were making this game. So we decided to do the only thing we could and make Sütlaç immortal. Sütlaç lives in the restaurant now and will be keeping you company instead.
❤️ And finally, to the people who got us here
Making this game quietly ate a lot of things that weren't really ours to spend. Weekends. Plans we'd already said yes to. The D&D campaign we pushed back one more week, and then one more week after that, until nobody bothered asking anymore. There were stretches where we went quiet for ten days straight and came back with nothing better than "sorry, we're deep in it, next time for sure."
To everyone who heard that and just said "go finish it": thank you. You made room for this without ever being asked to, and we noticed every single time.
And to everyone who played it early, broke it on purpose, and told us exactly what felt wrong instead of telling us it was fine: this game is genuinely better because of you.
Thank you. Truly. See you at the counter on 19.08.2026.
