About

Dumpling Atlas

Features
Read full description

Dumpling Atlas is a calm, handmade cooking game set in a little neighbourhood shop. Greet the customer at the counter, hear the order, step into the kitchen and make every plate by hand. Place the dough, fill it, fold it. Then boil, pan-fry or steam it. Take it off the heat in the green window; wait too long and it burns. Sauce the plate, serve it and hear what your customer thinks. SIX KITCHENS, ONE TABLE Kayseri manti, gyoza, khinkali, pierogi, momo and ravioli. Every recipe has its own shape, filling, cooking method and sauce. A new recipe opens each day. REGULARS WITH STORIES Eight neighbours drop by: a sea captain, a student, a painter, a runner, a grandmother and more. Each has running jokes and a small story that unfolds over the days. They remember your last plate. A SMALL SHOP GROWS At the end of each day pay the rent and invest your earnings: a copper stove, tea service, the neighbourhood mill. Upgrades show up in the shop. Watch the guests at the tables behind the counter. MADE FOR TOUCH Drag your finger to place, fill and fold the dough. Draw sauces right on the plate. The till, the card tap and the receipt come alive with small animations. • An eight-day story you can finish, then free play • 16 languages: English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic and Indonesian • No accounts, ads, purchases or tracking • Plays offline; your progress stays on your device • Original artwork, sounds generated in code and gentle music
