Tide Bistro: Seaside Merge

Forty days after Grandma passed, Lin Xi comes home to Tide Bay to run the little bistro she left behind. On opening day, an anonymous complaint nearly shuts it down. Who made the call—and why? MERGE & SERVE Tap generators for flour, tea leaves, clams and more. Drag matching items together to make new dishes, serve the townsfolk's orders, and clear the sea mist from the board. Link five matching items for a double merge. Now and then a shiny item drops—serve it in an order for double coins. RESTORE GRANDMA'S BISTRO Open the game and you're standing at the bistro's front door. The storefront, dining room, kitchen, drinks and dessert counter and seaside garden, then the lighthouse café, harbor market and beach camp in Season 2: eight full scenes you can pan across, linked by a little town map. Spots that need fixing light up in the scene. Tap one and the old piece is carried away, the new one settles in, and your neighbors cheer. Finish an area for an unveiling and a before-and-after photo for your memory album. FOLLOW A SEASIDE STORY Conversations play out in the real scene: neighbors walk to their places, react with expressions and little icons, and the biggest moments open into full illustrations. Replay Season 1's 8 story days and Season 2's 8 chapters of "The Shop by the Lighthouse" in your memory album. TIDE SEASON: SOMETHING TO DO EVERY DAY Each four-week season brings a 108-card album of small Tide Bay stories, a 30-tier pass with every reward free, a Weekend Market, and a weekly event that alternates between the Decor Ladder and the Order Sprint—plus three daily goals. Events run on your device's calendar, with no internet required. THE PEOPLE OF TIDE BAY Serve the regulars to raise their hearts and unlock short scenes and memory cards. Check the gossip board by the door for the town's latest news. Sometimes a message bottle washes up with an old story, or a VIP stops by for a limited time.
