Gameplay

The gameplay consists of serving customers in a certain amount of time!

The story of Welcome to Primrose Lake is about two girls meeting each other by chance – one driving home (Jessica) and the other in a wedding dress (Jenny). Jenny gets a ride from Jessica, ending up in Primrose but not everything is as it seems. They look the exact same and have the same surname… How weird! They go to a café and Jenny runs it for Jessica as she takes a nap. The level starts with customers coming in the café and it’s your job, as Jenny, to serve them within good time.  The story then progresses as you complete each level.

I enjoyed the gameplay, even though it reminds me of Cooking Craze. That being said, I love that it has a story attached to it.

Graphics

The graphics aren’t anything special, but they’re not bad!

The graphics are pretty standard, nothing to be impressed about. The characters are designed in a way that even if they’re talking to each other, they’re both looking forward but I like it. They only move slightly if they’re speaking but there really isn’t much movement to the characters apart from walking around. Despite this, Welcome to Primrose Lake has a lot of hidden details in each scene.

Music & Sounds

The music featured in Welcome to Primrose Lake is the standard adventure game music. With soft guitars playing while you’re trying to get to the next level. As for the sounds, they’re definitely at a minimal – the characters don’t physically speak, however, there are sounds when you take a customers order and when you take their money.

Controls

The controls are tap-based!

I found the controls to be super easy as the gameplay is pretty basic anyway. When a customer takes your order, they will show it in a speech bubble above their head. You need to tap on the correct item they ordered and then tap them to give it to them. The same goes for when they want to pay, you just tap on the cash register.

The Verdict

What did you think of Welcome to Primrose Lake?

Although there isn’t anything unique about the actual gameplay, I did enjoy Welcome to Primrose Lake. The story is a little weird, but it definitely kept me hooked to find out what happens next.
