## What is Roast & Rich?

Half game, half chat: run a 3D coffee roastery in İstanbul, then talk with players of Roast & Rich and other Erek Studio games between shifts. When you open the game you choose: play or chat. In the game, the chat is one tap away, on the biggest button on the screen.

RUN THE ROASTERY
Roast in the drum and stop it at first crack. Grind, fill the shelf and the display, and keep the queue at the counter moving. Take a bulk order or pass on it, cool an overheating roaster before the line locks, and bank the till into your wallet when the shift ends. A burned till never touches your wallet. Your very first mistake is forgiven, and Master's Focus can forgive the first one of any shift.

GROW YOUR CREW
Hire an apprentice, then a journeyman. They haul beans to the drum and roasted bags to the counter, keep sales going while you are elsewhere, and can be sent to repair the roaster.

PLAYER CHAT (OPTIONAL, 18+)
Talk with other players in rooms by language, find people who play, and send direct messages. Sign in with Apple to join. Your game card shows your roastery progress; adding profile details is optional. Safety comes first: every message is checked, anyone can be reported or blocked straight from their message, and phone numbers, emails or social accounts are never shared in rooms or profiles; in one-to-one chats, Chat+ members can share them once the other person has written at least 3 messages. Free: every room, plus 5 direct messages sent and 5 read each day.

FAIR ABOUT ADS
The free game shows an occasional ad between shifts — never during a shift and never in your first shifts. Instant repair, Master's Focus and double earnings are yours for watching an ad, and if no ad is available you get them anyway.

PURCHASES
Pro removes every ad, rewarded ones included, makes those rewards instant, and adds Night Shift — İstanbul by lamplight: monthly, yearly or lifetime. If you already have Pro, it carries over, and so does anything you bought for the 2D roastery.

Chat+ is an optional auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. In Roast & Rich it gives everything Pro gives — no ads, instant rewards, Night Shift — and, in the chat, in every Erek Studio game where you sign in: unlimited direct messages, sent and read; a profile photo and profile looks; finding players by country and language; rooms of your own, public or invite-only; and sharing contact details in an accepted one-to-one chat once the other person has written there 3 times (they can turn this off). In Korea the chat is for players 19 and over, and finding players by country or language and creating rooms are not available. You can buy it from the NO ADS screen, with or without a chat account.

Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel them in your Apple ID settings.

- The roastery is now fully 3D: an İstanbul roastery you walk through, from the drum to the counter.
- New: hire an apprentice and a journeyman who haul, sell and repair with you.
- New: player chat (optional, 18+) — rooms by language, people and direct messages. When you open the game, choose: play or chat; in the game, the chat is one tap away and shows your unread messages.
- New: Chat+ (optional subscription) — everything Pro gives, unlimited messages, profile looks, and rooms of your own, public or invite-only.
- Pro still removes every ad and makes rewards instant — and Night Shift lights İstanbul's lamps. Your Pro carries over.
