Do you like to cook and travel? Then this new game is the one for you! Brunette Games is excited to announce the release of Me2Zen’s Restaurant Rescue. We put our previous experience on Cooking Confidential and other titles to the test crafting the narrative and writing all dialogue for this game. Players can cook new dishes, travel across the U.S., and renovate restaurants! 

Restaurant Rescue tells the story of the Spatz family--dad and chef Eli, mom and interior designer Zoe, introverted teen Lucas, wild child Winnie, and the loyal dachshund, Basil. In an effort to spend more time together, the Spatz family decides to start a restaurant makeover business and travel across the U.S., helping aspiring restaurant owners achieve their dreams. Will this family business thrive or fail? Play to find out!

We're thrilled to announce Brunette Games made it to the final voting round in PocketGamer Connect's Mobile Game Awards. We're up for the award in two categories:

1. Best Service Provider - Please vote for us here!
2. Game of the Year - This one is for the game we designed and wrote with the Jam City team for Netflix Games, Wild Things: Animal Adventures, which you can vote for here!

It's an honor to get the nomination for Best Service Provider, especially as we celebrate seven years in the industry. We've provided narrative, scriptwriting, and voice-over services to clients on 36 released games, many of them topping the app store charts and enjoyed by millions (billions?) of players worldwide.

Our clients range from super-small studios--literally just one guy in Shanghai, for example!--all the way up to major publishers like Jam City and studios backed by big names like Supercell. They all entrust us with the stories in their games, and for that we express our gratitude. We hope we've earned that trust over the years.

Wild Things: Animal Adventures is a project very near and dear to our hearts. It began with a pre-pandemic, in-person kickoff--when our team was flown out to Jam City's Culver City headquarters--and continued for more than a year as we collaborated with Ryan Kaufman, Jam City's then-VP of narrative, Chris Tremmel, the veteran creative director (both now with PLAI LABS), and their talented teams. The nomination is well-deserved, and we look forward to seeing the title snag the win!

Here's the game in the latest Netflix sizzle trailer. Wish us luck! Voting closes April 6, and we'd love to get your click in our favor. Thank you.
