Swing the Spoon

Developer's description

In "Swing the Spoon", you take on the role of a young man who has lost his job as a chef and is living a life without prospects. By a stroke of luck, he comes into some money one day and decides on the spur of the moment to open his own small restaurant. He finds a closed, older restaurant with an adjoining apartment building, which he rents from Patricia, the landlady. Patricia and her bitchy daughter Liz, who used to run a restaurant themselves, sense an opportunity and want to work for him, which he gratefully accepts, of course... Spoiler But that's when the real adventure begins, because in addition to running the restaurant, the three of them also have to get along outside of opening hours, which is not always easy in this unusual shared apartment. Whether it's Liz's bitchy nature and her habit of avoiding any kind of work, or Patricia's dream of having her own little garden, it never gets boring here. On the contrary, with each new roommate, there are more opportunities for flirting, massaging, spying, and much more... In order to be able to pay salaries and rent week after week, you should keep your employees happy, buy the right ingredients, keep an eye on cleanliness (or supervise others while they clean...) and constantly expand your kitchen equipment and restaurant. Of course, you'll still have plenty of time to "hang out" with your roommates, explore the house and all its rooms, and check out the area around the restaurant. Discover new places, hit the gym, open up creepy basement rooms, visit the bank to flirt with the cute teller next door, and much more... What else needs to be said.. In "Swing the Spoon", it is particularly important to me to build a real "relationship" with the characters in the game while playing. This is achieved by engaging with the traits and preferences, but also the problems and difficulties, of the various personalities. I deliberately chose not to include a utopian number of women without "soul" or character, who are then "processed" within a few moments of gameplay. Instead, I preferred to include a few selected characters with (hopefully) interesting and appealing traits that make you want "more"... This may not be suitable for everyone, as you need to have a little patience and perseverance to achieve the corresponding successes and scenes... but it will definitely be worth it, I promise. It is also very important to me that the player's (your) attention and ingenuity are rewarded. There are numerous scenes and situations that can only be seen/achieved through exploration, diligence, or logical conclusions. (Of course, the game can be completed entirely without these scenes...no one should be forced to spy on their neighbors...)
