The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.69. That was March 2026. It has been discounted 34 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 62 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.

Value puts it in the top 25 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 64 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Cooking Simulator ($19.99, scores 54) beats it on value, while it beats Food Truck Simulator ($19.99, scores 20).

Steam's global achievement data puts under 1 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 3.2-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 9 of the 552 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2022 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 66 percent of the 286 reviews written there were positive, against 76 percent overall, and those are 27 percent of everything written about it.

3.2 hours to finish it, 90 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 28 times the campaign.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 3.2 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

I used to be an internationally-awarded homebrewer. After moving to a different country, I no longer have access to brewing equipment nor enough space in my house to set up some new brewing equipment. I miss brewing tremendously. I am very grateful with Euroch Digital for making a game that is realistic enough to scratch the recipe development and experimentation itch. I have been following the game since before it...

For those looking to get this on any sale, don't bother. The devs gave up supporting this game a little less than a year after release. They even made a post in the game discussion section at that time stating that it is "not cost effective" to fix bugs with the game. There are game breaking bugs that have been there since release that will never get fixed. The game becomes unplayable in the late game because of...
