Rising Tide and Hidden Chest Studios have launched Early Access for “Midwest 90: Rapid City,” a diner-management survival simulation set in the monster-apocalyptic 1990s.
Will you prioritize profits or the town’s survival…?
In this game, you’ll build, optimize, and expand a 1990s roadside diner amidst a crumbling economy. Your main offering is meat from captured monsters. You’ll research ingredients, design menus based on customer behavior, buffs, and risks, and experiment with various additives to boost profits—or trigger side effects.
You’ll need to balance not only sourcing, pricing, and customer satisfaction but also decide which to prioritize: profit margin, safety, or reputation. All systems are interconnected, and every decision comes with a cost.
