Then CSD3 all but drops said façade outright, allowing you to see the sorry state of the world for yourself. However, once you start to peel back the façade by reading emails, food descriptions, and restaurant blurbs, you begin to realize that the world outside the walls of your restaurant is barely a step shy of Hell on Earth.

Crapsaccharine World: On the surface, everything looks silly and upbeat.

However, be careful not to tenderize it more than six times, or it will be reduced into a mess and get a bad order! It's slightly easier in the sequel because there's a visual indication of how much your chicken has been tenderized.

Button Mashing: Tenderizing chicken meat can come across as this in a hurry, since a perfect order requires exactly six hits of the tenderizing key.

Art Evolution: The food in the first game were fairly simple cartoony drawings, but in the sequels they're drawn more realistically with more details, and with the sheer number of new foods added to the game, it's not easy playing the game without feeling hungry.

And it's a little squickier than the game implies. While this cheese isn't used as a wine flavor like the game suggests, such a variety of cheese does exist.

Aluminium Christmas Trees: Casu marzu.

While all this is mentioned throughout CSD2 in the form of flavor text and emails, CSD3 throws you right into the thick of it.

On top of this, you're also getting attention from the host of a cookery-based TV show, along with regular supplies of mysterious golden tickets. Orders are served by completing various timing and keyboard-based minigames as quickly as possible, while also having to contend with various chores such as rat traps, increased litter, dirty plates and the toilet. You, the player, have inherited the restaurant, and have to complete a set of objectives to hopefully raise the restaurant up through the star ratings. The player character can also combat with her to pry the knife from her hand.The titular restaurant was once a thriving source of fantastic food, but then it declined in popularity, and fell into disrepair. This is further backed up in the main game when Karin becomes a Turnip Chompette. In the Appetizer ending, it is revealed that the Chompettes were the spirits of a previous group that were murdered in the basement. In one, she and the player character become a couple and feed off travelers to the cabin. From there comes a variety of different endings. After ruthlessly bullying Anatoly into leaving the cabin such as by mocking his illiteracy, Anatoly is killed, leaving the protagonist, Karin, and Gregor as the sole survivors.īecoming increasingly ghoulish, Karin cuts Gregor in half with little effort before turning her murderous hunger towards the protagonist. Shortly after that, Karin appeared to become stronger every time she ate human flesh. The first to leave the camp was Mariah, and her body was taken to the basement to be harvested. Soon, they were resorting to eating mice, but even then, it wasn't enough. The group, comprising of the protagonist, Karin, Anatoly, Mariah, and Gregor, struggle to survive in the cabin, but their rations gradually began to dwindle. While there, a storm hits the cabin resulting in her and the others getting stranded. Karin was a part of a group of hiking refugees (likely escaping from Ukraine during the Holodomor in order to flee to neighboring Poland) that ended up going to a cabin. What brought her some semblance of joy was uncovering people's weaknesses so she could exploit them. Karin was someone who would be very cynical and was known for killing the mood wherever she went.
