About This Game

Pao Pao is a fun co-op simulator and sandbox for 1–4 players, where cats, foxes, raccoons, and other furry characters throw down a true culinary fest. Manage your own restaurant by fishing for fresh ingredients and hustling to complete orders before your hungry customers scatter! Don’t waste a second—go solo or rally your crew to conquer mini-games, explore the vibrant night city after a hard day’s work, and boost your business to a level every dog would envy.

Culinary Chaos: Expand and level up your restaurant as you rack up achievements. Start with a modest kitchen and gradually add greenhouses, aquariums, and extra space. Daytime is a nonstop rush of orders, while nighttime offers a chance to kick back or prep for a brand-new day.

Open World: Step into a unique, open-world city bursting with opportunities—snag awesome bonuses and dive into quests along the way. Sprint through the streets, meet quirky NPCs with exciting tasks and hot deals, and enjoy fun mini-games that help level up your biz. Keep expanding and brace yourself for constant surprises and dynamic challenges!

Customization: In Pao Pao, your look is entirely up to you. Choose your totem animal—from a cow to a wolf—and rock a skin that shows off your creative and entrepreneurial flair. Whether you're into a strict chef’s hat or a goofy bandana with paws, mix and match details to create a unique style that perfectly complements your culinary epic.

Day-Night Cycle: Mornings are for fishing, hitting up the shops, and catching up with friends, while nights bring a sudden calm. You can quietly explore your restaurant or hit the sack to fast-forward to a new day—and score a bonus speed boost while you're at it. Every week, you get a restaurant bill: the higher your rating, the sweeter the rewards!

Mini-Games: Every task comes with its own mini-game—catch the moment, hit the right buttons, and keep an eye on the indicators. Whether you’re cooking or fishing, every action demands your active participation. The further you progress, the trickier the challenges become, so there’s never a dull moment!

Quests: Imagine getting an email from city hall inviting a VIP guest, and you need to level up your place ASAP to impress them. Or dive into a culinary battle where you must include a mandatory ingredient within a time limit—the top chef earns a prestigious diploma that boosts reputation and draws in new customers. Our quests are designed to spice up your gameplay and keep the fun rolling.

The kitchen is heating up, and there's no turning back! If you're confident in your skills, dive headfirst into the animal mayhem and prove that you’re absolutely Pao-tastic!
