Mary le Chef: Cooking Passion Collector's Edition

There are thousands of stories about children who refused to follow in their parents’ footsteps and pick their own road in life, and most of them are lessons about life and how everyone has their own special skills and talents. Granted, most of the people in the said stories make it to the heights of their careers, which is not something that happens to everyone, unfortunately.

Mary le Chef: Cooking Passion is a time management game in which you get to serve customers and fulfill a variety of orders as quickly as possible, in order to get more money and improve your establishment. There are not many new elements when it comes to gameplay, but at least everything is very polished and enjoyable, especially in terms of difficulty.

The story revolves around Mary, a young girl who’s being pressured by her parents to work at their law firm, except that she is not very into it. In fact, her dream is to become a chef and own her own establishment, which is why she starts her own restaurant. Naturally, the place is small and basic at first, but you can get money along the way to make it even better.

Every customer that enters your establishment has a happiness meter you have to keep an eye on, because they leave if the bar drains completely. Hence, your job is to fulfill their orders as quickly as possible, and the list of available products expands from level to level. It gets trickier to get the necessary score every time, but then again there are multiple difficulty levels to choose from.

You can also score combos to get more money without serving more customers, which is achieved by paying attention to random events in the background, or simply by timing your orders the proper way. As far as the graphics are concerned, the style is almost the same as in every other time management game out there, but the characters and the environments are new.

In the end, time management fans should find Mary le Chef: Cooking Passion quite engaging and enjoyable, especially thanks to the addictive mechanics and plenty of levels. It also looks colorful enough to take the stress away. NOTE: This is a downloader for the game. Once run, the application will automatically download and install the game on your computer.
