Inari's Kitchen
Inari's Kitchen is a cozy life simulation RPG set in a peaceful, fantasy-inspired Japanese village where humans live alongside small magical beings known as Sorin. You play a young traveler who arrives with nothing and is given the chance to restore an old family restaurant.
Days are spent growing crops, raising livestock, fishing, gathering ingredients, decorating your restaurant and home, and getting to know the villagers. At night the restaurant opens and customers arrive with orders you cook from what you've grown and collected.
The five pillars
Farm
Grow crops through the seasons, raise livestock, fish the river shallows, and gather wild ingredients from the hills around the village. What you grow is what you cook.
Cook
At night the restaurant opens. Customers arrive with their own orders, which you prepare from ingredients you have grown or collected. Unlock recipes as you go.
Explore
Beyond the village lie handcrafted biomes filled with resources, secrets, and friendly Sorin. Expeditions are about discovery and progression rather than combat.
Build
Expand the building, lay out the dining room, decorate your home, and craft the furniture and tools that make the business run.
Grow
Hire employees, improve every part of the business, build relationships with the villagers, and earn the trust of the Sorin who help automate the work.
