Let's talk about me first. I am a 25-year-old social worker. I commute two hours back and forth every day. I only have a pitiful one-hour lunch break. Overtime is the norm. I had played a game before that required people to go online at regular intervals to collect food. As a result, I missed an event during a meeting and my mentality collapsed. I gave up the game decisively.
Later, a friend recommended this game called "The Game". To be honest, I didn't have high expectations at first. I thought it would be another kind of flashy and annoying business simulation. After playing it for a week, I found that this game is tailor-made for time-poor workers like me!
Here's the kicker, it really only takes one minute a day. Take it out on the subway, collect some dishes, arrange new recipes, and done. You might say it has little content, but the sense of accomplishment of slowly unlocking new dishes and new chefs is quite satisfying. And drawing cards is very conscientious. Even an African like me can save ten consecutive cards. Last time, I randomly drew a beautiful cook and I was happy all day long. Haha.
Other games force you to top up money, but this game forces you to log off. Really, it has a Buddhist feeling of "you are busy with your business, I won't disturb you". The guests are also very funny. There are monkeys, pigs and other weird things. Every time I see those expressions, I can't help but laugh out loud. As a stand-alone game without social functions, it makes me, a social creature, feel very comfortable. I don't want to talk when I get off work, so I just play a happy little boss in the game.
The most surprising thing is the collection system. There are all kinds of Chinese dishes on the menu, from street snacks to Manchu and Han banquets. It is a paradise for a foodie like me. Unlocking a new dish every day is something to look forward to, really.
Finally, let me talk about my feelings about time management. I used to be led by the game when I played games, but now I arrange it. After my lunch break, I still have plenty of time to browse the forum, and after working overtime in the evening, I won't feel the guilt of “having to go online to do my daily work”. This game perfectly illustrates what is called a "light game" and is suitable for all busy office workers.
In short, if you want to find a game that doesn't take up time, doesn't cost you money, and has a little bit of healing, you'd better go for “The Game”. Anyway, there is no charge, you can't suffer losses or be fooled, maybe it can help you feel better when fishing 🍳✨
