Kitchen Sync: Aloha!

Kitchen Sync: Aloha! is a cooking RPG about Kai or Kala, siblings working to revive their family’s restaurant on the Hawaiian island of Maikai. You lead a team of chefs, prepare dishes for hungry customers and grow the eatery from a newcomer into a local gem. Along the way, you complete side quests, experiment with recipes and build relationships as you explore the island.

Chefs and relationships

You can befriend and recruit chefs with distinct personalities and specialties. As they grow alongside you and the restaurant, you can uncover their personal stories and deepen bonds through working together. Friendships can develop into romance, and you can play matchmaker for your team as well as pursue romances yourself, with different romantic endings.

Away from the kitchen, you can spend time with the chefs you have befriended through island activities. Fishing trips and nature hikes are presented as mini-games that help strengthen your relationships.

Run the kitchen

You coordinate a crew of chefs and a timer that pauses whenever you need it. You create a menu, customize recipes by adding your own Twists, arrange the kitchen layout, upgrade appliances and level up your chefs’ abilities. The game has three difficulty settings, including Cozy mode, which turns off all timers, and Hard Boiled mode.

You cook Hawaiian dishes across more than 30 kitchens, including beaches, restaurants, malls, food trucks and resorts. Each venue brings challenges to overcome as you work to master its kitchen.

Story and setting

Maikai’s island community is the backdrop for a story about food, family and the connections people build. Cooking is part of bringing the community together as you help restore your family’s restaurant.
