What players say
I really liked Midori no Kaori for what it is. It has such a cozy, relaxing vibe that makes it really easy to just sit back and unwind while playing.

Very relaxing game. Very cool game. If you're looking for a sim where you manage a restaurant I'd recommend not to buy this game for now as it is more of just a building game and has a very simple system in terms of restaurant managing. Still the graphics are amazing and music is beautiful. Great if you want a cozy game to unwind with
a very sweet relaxing game prefect for time to destress and listen to calming music while playing an idle game
