8-Bit Bistro

This is my first game. I began my game dev journey in November 2025 and based 8-Bit Bistro on a friend's cafe, which offers the best sandwiches and coffee in Portland, OR. He owns and operates the establishment all by himself, which inspired the concept: one person taking orders, cooking food, and pouring drinks with no time for breaks. Here's what to expect: - Serve an endless influx of customers who quickly grow impatient - Grab pastries from the display case and make coffee at the espresso machine - Refer to the recipe booklet to gather the right ingredients and throw them on the stove or in the oven - Cooking takes time, which allows the player to juggle multiple orders at once - Purchase upgrades with your profits to make the next day easier - Avoid too many unprofitable days or the business may go under - Survive until day 10 for the arrival of a fateful guest 8-Bit Bistro is mouse-centric and does not natively support controllers, but a steam input profile may offer an adequate experience on Steam Deck. This game provides at least an hour of fun. All art, music, and programming are by one novice developer, so set realistic expectations. Your purchase supports future projects as I pursue this hobby in my free time. Thank you for being a part of this new chapter in my life.
