The price point is demonstrative -- It's a very simple game. You can see everything it's trying to do in 15 minutes. Unlocking everything can be done in 4 hours. Then you gotta barely interact with the game & let it run for another 8 hours to get all the achievements.

The mechanics, the art, the upgrades... they're fine. They work, and you won't be blown away.

What makes this bad is that the store page is chock-full of misinformation.

"Open new locations" means prestige.
"Unlock special abilities" means there's two abilities that become automated very quickly.
"Compete for challenging achievements" has no competition elements either in game or through leaderboards, and they're challenging in that you have to let the game sit idle for 15 minute stretches on each ingredient to earn achievements. Your patience & attention span are the only things challenged.
"Endless progression" is ridiculous because every upgrade has a maximum limit. Every single one.
"Daily Cycles -- Each workday lasts 5 minutes of real time." Uh, no. There are zero time limits, restraints, or summaries anywhere.
"Lore & Narrative" Nah. NAH. A total of maybe ten sentences of flavor text that your restaurant is improving does not qualify.

Don't be fooled. It's a simple clicker game with fewer mechanics or options than plenty of freebies. And it's not even bad. Just don't go in expecting it to be anything except a time waster.
