A big ol' therapy session wrapped up in a eclectic, delectable and cleverly written game.
I'm very glad i picked this game up, and so far is my fave game of the year. The story, dialogue, immersion of Asian culture and characters blew me away. I will also be trying out "Venba" which also involves Asian cooking as a storytelling method.
Is there a phrase for when there's a jump scare, but it's actually a hilarious action or movement that catches you off guard? Because this game was full of them. The game had me grinning like a big Cheshire cat. From the wriggling of the satisfied Father after a cooking session, to the ridiculous lats and biceps on Aunty C - you can tell how much fun Outerloop Games has had developing and writing this.
I couldn't give it the full 5 because a lot of the QTE are sadly repetitive, and the skating (or in my case constant bumping into objects) does lose its appeal. But to me those were just bonus mechanics, and i think the story and characters themselves could easily be fleshed out into a series.
If you're in the mood for something very goofy, but want some emotional range, i would definitely give Thirsty Suitors a look.
I also want to add that i found 90% of the characters HIGHLY attractive, so well done character design time on that front as well.
