Cannibal Cafe

Being a server or a cook is not always very fun, especially not in crowded places with many customers and short tempers. Hence, people forget about the fact that you are doing the same thing for hours on end and get angry when they wait a few minutes for a hot meal. On the other hand, this is why people spend money to eat out, so it’s difficult to say who’s right.

Cannibal Cafe is a funny time management game in which you have to keep up with the orders and make sure that you get the recipe right every time. It’s not a difficult concept in theory, but putting it into practice is something else entirely, especially since you have to work your memory a little bit in order to remember recipes and ingredient orders.

To begin with, the theme of the game is that you are preparing sushi out of human parts, such as eyes, fingers, ears and noses. It can be a bit disgusting if you do not find the jokes funny, but it’s worth mentioning that the game isn’t designed in bad taste. Hence, the sushi rolls you end up with actually look pretty colorful and tasty, despite what they contain.

In order to stand a chance at winning some money you must memorize at least some of the recipes, because the customers ask for random sushi rolls every time. Thus, you can either check the recipe book or start preparing them instantly, and it’s obviously better to memorize every recipe. In fact, it’s pretty much impossible to get past level three or four if you do not manage to store the recipes in your memory.

You also have to keep an eye on the ingredients, because you can run out by using too much of them. In order to replenish them you have to order more, and it costs money. Since the goal is to reach a certain amount of cash by closing time, it’s not wise to waste ingredients. However, there’s no way to cancel once you start placing ingredients on the roller, so you better pay attention to every click you make.

When it’s all said and done, Cannibal Cafe is more than capable to keep you busy for a while, at least if you do not mind filling your head with useless human sushi recipes. The challenge escalates as you manage to beat the levels and move on.
