What is The Sweet Spot?

This single-player horror simulation follows Jessica's first week working at a highway ice cream shop in the 1980s. You prepare ice cream and milkshakes for customers. The roughly hour-long story mode sits alongside an endless mode with order deadlines and an untimed mode with music.

For you if...

+you enjoy food-service routines mixed with occasional jump scares

Not for you if...

−you want constant threats rather than stretches of routine
