Delicious: Emily's Message in a Bottle Collector's Edition

Running a restaurant is no easy business, especially if you also have to cook the food and serve customers. Granted, very few people actually do this, unless the restaurant in question is very small. On the other hand, it would be a great opportunity to see how the entire ensemble works, which should make it easier to manage a proper restaurant once the business grows and more employees are needed.

Delicious: Emily's Message in a Bottle is a time management game in which you get to play as Emily once again, although the adventure actually takes place back when she was just a little child. Thus, even if you sometimes get to fill Emily’s shoes, most of the time you are playing as someone else, especially as her old relatives that started the family business back in the day.

Speaking of which, the story talks about Emily’s grandfather, who knew everything there was to know about restaurants back in Napoli, at least until his sons and daughters took the reigns. Thus, you start playing in an old-timey locale, but the adventure takes you to a variety of interesting places, both geographically and chronologically.

In case you are familiar with the series, Delicious: Emily's Message in a Bottle plays almost exactly the same as every other episode you might have tried. Hence, you have to serve customers the items they desire and move as quickly as possible, otherwise they get frustrated and they don’t leave tips. Since you need the tips in order to reach the goal for each level, speed is a very important factor.

You can also use some of the cash to upgrade your restaurants, depending on whether you want it to look nicer and be more comfortable, or you want to be able to prepare each dish much faster. Both can be achieved if you get enough money, but the gameplay is fun either way. Speaking of which, the jolly atmosphere is created with the help of colorful graphics and the neat soundtrack.

All things considered, Delicious: Emily's Message in a Bottle is a very polished experience, especially if you are familiar with the genre and you want something both challenging and fun at the same time. The graphics are gorgeous as well, not to mention the fact that the adventure takes you to a variety of interesting places.
