Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator (Nintendo Switch)

Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator is a single-player simulation and lifestyle game from Nacon for Nintendo Switch, where the aim is to create and manage your dream restaurant. It is rated PEGI 3, so it suits cooks and restaurant fans of all ages.

Build the restaurant you imagine

The idea behind the game is straightforward and appealing: you start with a vision of a restaurant and then turn it into a working business. Creating the place is one part of the challenge, and managing it day to day is the other.

Nacon places the game in the adventure, lifestyle and simulation genres. That mix points to a relaxed, management-focused experience in which you shape your own kitchen and decide how your restaurant grows, rather than racing against a clock set by someone else.

• Create and manage your own restaurant

Why play it on Nintendo Switch

Simulation games reward patience, and a Nintendo Switch game card makes it easy to dip in whenever you have time to build up your business. The PEGI 3 rating also means it is appropriate for younger players with an interest in cooking and running a venue.

The language list is unusually wide: Japanese, English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Korean and Chinese are all supported for on-screen text, so menus and instructions are easy to follow for many players.
