Warm light, late nights, one guest at a time. Grow, raise and catch your ingredients, then build each dish by hand across eight flavours, tailored to whoever's at the counter. Listen as your regulars open up, and watch a sleepy harbour town wake up as new faces arrive with new tastes to learn.

<p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>You've reopened a shuttered little diner on the edge of a harbour town that's seen better days.</strong></p><p class="bb_paragraph" >The boats still go out. The lights mostly stay off. But there's a plot next door, a counter with a few stools, and a town that's forgotten the quiet magic of being cooked for. That part's up to you.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><span class="bb_img_ctn"><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4919050/extras/239bcba6be3791fa24d8ae390255a338.poster.avif?t=1783685918" width=600 height=336 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4919050/extras/239bcba6be3791fa24d8ae390255a338.webm?t=1783685918" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4919050/extras/239bcba6be3791fa24d8ae390255a338.mp4?t=1783685918" type="video/mp4"></video></span></p><p class="bb_paragraph" >Harbourlight is a cozy farm-to-table diner sim.

You cook the way a cook does: real ingredients, real amounts, added by hand. And the kitchen knows food: chop tomatoes and coriander with a little chilli, and it recognises a pico de gallo. Simmer mackerel with tomato, onion and stock, and you've made a fisherman's stew.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >Every dish is a real one, made the way it's actually made. Cook by feel, and the kitchen meets you halfway. Every ingredient carries a taste across eight pillars: <strong>sweet, salt, sour, bitter, umami, heat, fat, and aroma</strong>. So does every guest. Tailor each plate to whoever's at the counter: a splash more acid, a pinch of heat, a little more fat to round it off. Get it right and they light up.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><span class="bb_img_ctn"><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4919050/extras/33e3e3a57362cfb1904ead5ec4f8df37.poster.avif?t=1783685918" width=600 height=336 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4919050/extras/33e3e3a57362cfb1904ead5ec4f8df37.webm?t=1783685918" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4919050/extras/33e3e3a57362cfb1904ead5ec4f8df37.mp4?t=1783685918" type="video/mp4"></video></span></p><h2 class="bb_tag" >Get to know the regulars</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >The same faces start coming back.
