《今食堂》是一款單人「餐廳經營」 (Simulation Games) 遊戲，主要以食物和奇幻風格組合的世界觀，故事講述主角透過配角得知城鎮出了跟「食物」相關的奇特狀況。
玩家在收集線索調查事件的同時，需要經營自家餐館復興生意。本研究創作的重點為：在餐廳經營玩法基礎上，增加探索環節，以卡片形式可以與怪物對戰等解決餐廳食材短缺問題；玩家在經營餐廳與滿足顧客需求，協助他們面對並解決内心的煩惱，讓餐廳成為一個溫馨場所；奇幻的美術風格與寫實的背景增強了視覺體驗，結合奇幻與食物元素的架空世界觀則進一步提升了玩家的沉浸感。
遊戲同時融入諧音梗與冷笑話的劇情設計，增添趣味性與娛樂性。
玩家在遊戲中會透過料理解除角色的異常與汙染，帶來即時且明確的成就感。
但隨著故事推進，也逐漸意識到——同樣的力量，也能被用來操控、引導，甚至塑造他人的意志。這並不是單純的善惡選擇，而是對「信仰」「責任」與「使用力量的界線」的提問。
遊戲會出現受到「汙染」的怪物，原本多為普通的生物或食材，卻因接觸了殘留的神聖力量而產生異變，對角色來說可以是充滿威脅性的怪物，也可以是經過重新「處理」與「轉化」後填飽肚子的食物。
“Today's Restaurant” is a single-player restaurant management simulation game set in a fantasy world centered around food. The story follows the protagonist, who learns from supporting characters that the town is experiencing a series of unusual incidents related to “food.” While collecting clues and investigating these events, the player must also manage their own restaurant and restore its business.
The core focus of this project is to expand upon traditional restaurant management gameplay by incorporating exploration elements. Players can engage in card-based battles against monsters to address ingredient shortages in the restaurant. In addition to running the restaurant and satisfying customer needs, players also help customers confront and resolve their inner troubles, turning the restaurant into a warm and welcoming place.
