Our take on 故乡的记忆：味缘篇
The likely sticking point is the cooking workflow: players must prepare ingredients, manage heat and seasoning, then plate dishes for evaluation. Those looking for a mostly hands-off shop simulation may bounce when cooking skill starts shaping both dish ratings and sale prices.
What is 故乡的记忆：味缘篇?
This single-story exploration and management game follows a young man returning to his mountain hometown.
Players investigate a stylized 3D city based on real Chongqing locations, collect ingredients, and run a food shop. Cooking involves preparing ingredients, managing heat and seasonings, and arranging dishes, with performance affecting dish ratings and sale prices. Fishing provides ingredients that cannot be bought elsewhere, while weather can change customer traffic and determine when some tasks are available. Shop income depends on factors including recipes, customers, weather, and reviews. Players can expand the shop, hire NPCs for materials, delegate prepared recipes to chefs, and collect local stories, badges, pets, and rare items.
