Why I'm making Ocha Kai

Hi! I’m Thomas from Hafu Games, a small studio in Japan.

I grew up with cousins who played games, and the girls played too. They loved Diner Dash, Neopets and Cooking Mama.

Ocha Kai borrows from those games. It’s Cooking Mama meets Diner Dash, set in a cozy little tea shop in Japan that opens at night for shy yokai. Brew tea, bake taiyaki, and make some new friends.

I made it for people who are curious about games but still on the fence, worried they’ll be hard, scary or need too many buttons. People like my little sister. And it’s for players like me too!

The demo is the tea shop. In the full game, the yokai you befriend will head out each morning to gather for you!
