Take Control of the Upstart Chef! Chef Klaus just knows his food truck is going to be a hit: Problem is, he doesn't have a truck and didn't go to culinary school! Klaus goes searching for a used food truck, and finds a real bargain: He can have the truck for free from the fins of Sloan Shark, if only he'll sign a mysterious contract and agree to pay back the loan before the deadline. So begins Klaus's Flavor Tale ! Get to Know Your Customers! The world of Flavor Tale is vast and diverse, filled with a cast of crazy characters from all walks of life. You'll find fantasy creatures, anthropomorphic animals, and personified concepts walking around and co-existing in a large city teeming with culinary life. Uncover the mysteries of the Culinary Government, the Food Mafia, and more, as you befriend (or bedevil) the residents with your unique cooking and can-do attitude. Unleash the Ingredients! Ingredients in the world are stored in magical cards until it's time to serve and eat! Use unique card synergy and combination mechanics to get the most flavor out of each of your ingredients and dishes, as you serve customers at your food truck. Stock Your Pantry! Find ways to stack your deck (pantry) with the exact kinds of flavors and ingredients you want, to serve your way! Want to be a sandwich truck? Source your ingredients from the local bread vendor to reliably acquire bread, and build sandwiches on the fly as your draw cards from your deck during service. Any strategy is viable as long as customers are happy and money is flowing. Find New Ways to Make Meals! Use unique friendship key-chains acquired through story events and side-quests to add special abilities during cook time, and upgrade your kitchenware to improve things like fine-control over temperature, larger deck sizes, and more. Enjoy the Ambience! Enjoy the satisfying sounds of cooking and the city while accompanied by a jazz-inspired soundtrack that reacts to the time of day, state of the game, and city locales.
