Looks fun. It seems like there will be a decent amount of focus on the kitchen tycoon/management bit, which is what I am hoping for, as well as the life simulation bit. I like friendships and romance, NPC relationships, but if I feel I am offered tycoon/management I want a lot of that too and get disappointed if it's way more life sim and less tycoon than I feel was advertised.

Cute pixel graphics, and +1 for cooking. Sometimes I wonder why there are so many cooking video games, but cooking is fun in real life and something that most people end up getting at least a bit of experience trying, so I figure it's probably a common idea to try to put in a game. But it is also not like fishing where some people won't be able to try in real life unless they go out of their way (because some people do not live anywhere near a body of water), so of course people would buy it as a game, almost everyone can try cooking in real life, so… maybe because in gaming cleanup takes less time, and for dishes that take hours of prep in real life it becomes minutes in-game?

It seems to be pretty life-sim focused (albeit with a decent amount of tycoon/business sim elements).

I am mixed on this issue. I generally prefer strong business simulation elements (charts, accounting, macro-economic simulation), but if the writing and world-building are exceptional, I am fine with life-sim/adventure/RPG elements.
