Delicious (series)

Delicious is a series of time management casual games that is developed by Zylom Studios and later on by Gamehouse Studios. From the 7th game onwards, the games are developed by Gamehouse Studios and Blue Giraffe.

The games tell the story of Emily, a waitress who aspires to one day run her own restaurant, and who works in several other restaurants in order to earn the money to eventually make her dream come true.

After releasing the first 3 games of the series, Zylom decided to "renew" the series by adding some factors to it to make Emily's world more memorable and natural. As a result of this, from the fourth game onwards, the series received high appreciation and reviews from casual game critics and gamers, such as Gamezebo, who gave the seventh game, Emily's True Love, a maximum 5/5 star overall review.

The idea for the series of casual games was thought of in 2005. Each individual game in the series was designed by the following people:

The series was publicly released on September 21, 2006. Originally, players were challenged to successfully run eight restaurants that went for five days each. The first series game, however, did not have much of a storyline, and instead focused on the gameplay.

In November of the same year, a special edition of the series was released: The Winter Edition. The Winter Edition was similar to the first game, but with a winter/Christmas theme and no achievement trophies. The game was originally rated 3.5/5 stars by Gamezebo.

In 2007, the series was nominated for the 2006 Best Casual Game of the Year award.

On June 29, 2007, the second game in the series was released with a number of new features compared to the first game, such as options for the player to decorate the restaurant however they want, to put items on their plate ahead of time rather than only directly at the time that the items were ordered by a customer, and the inclusion of trophies along with a storyline with cutscenes. The game also contained five 10-day restaurants to play through, instead of the eight 5-day ones available in the first game of the series.

The main storyline of the game is as follows: Emily is asked by her Uncle Antonio to help him in his restaurants when his son Marcello runs off and leaves him to run the restaurants by himself.

Like the first game in the series, this game was rated 3.5/5 stars by Gamezebo.
