Become a Waiter in The Way of the Tray
Targem Games has officially announced that The Way of the Tray will launch on Steam on August 25, 2025. It is a unique blend of waiter simulation and action puzzle gameplay set in a mystical Japanese spirit world.
Players are invited to step into an otherworldly restaurant bustling with supernatural patrons. After unexpectedly falling into the realm of yokai, your only path home lies in mastering the art of service. Under the sharp eye of a no-nonsense chef, you will juggle taking orders, preparing intricate dishes, and ensuring your otherworldly guests leave satisfied. Success will not just keep the restaurant running, it will also help you pay rent for your room and earn the trust of the spirits around you.
The menu reflects the rich flavors of Japanese cuisine, with dishes like onigiri, sushi, and ramen taking center stage. Fortune cookies, a sweet nod to your unusual journey, round off the offerings. But these are not just meals for humans; you will be crafting dishes that can delight beings far beyond the ordinary.
As the challenges grow, you will need to sharpen your timing, coordination, and multitasking skills. Orders can range from the simple to the absurd, pushing you to adapt quickly while keeping a steady hand. Along the way, you will meet a cast of curious and sometimes unpredictable yokai. Each with their own quirks and preferences.
With its mix of whimsical charm, challenging service mechanics, and the allure of a mysterious world, The Way of the Tray aims to offer an experience that is both lighthearted and engaging. Mark your calendar for 25th August, your shift in the spirit world is about to begin.
