About
Brother Hai's Pho Restaurant is a story-driven psychological horror game, deeply inspired by Vietnamese culture, real-life events, and the unique atmosphere of Hanoi's suburban villages. Made with the Godot Engine, the game offers a glimpse into the everyday life of Vietnam that often goes unseen in media—mixed with a chilling, unfolding mystery.
If you enjoy narrative-rich games, unique cultural settings, and a blend of cooking simulation with true psychological dread, step into Anh Hai's kitchen.
Step into the shoes of Anh Hai, the new owner of a small pho restaurant in a seemingly peaceful village in Dan Phuong District, Hanoi.
Your day starts simple: run a thriving business, serve steaming bowls of pho, and socialize with the local townsfolk.
But the serene facade quickly cracks. As you settle in, Anh Hai gradually uncovers a dark and unsettling mystery shrouding the village. To keep his restaurant running, protect what he holds dear, and survive the strange occurrences, Anh Hai must confront unexpected, harrowing events and the haunting secrets of his own past.
Every interaction, every decision, and every bowl of pho served holds a clue to the truth.
🍲 Unique Pho Restaurant Simulation: Experience the authentic process of making and serving traditional Vietnamese Pho. Handle customer orders precisely, from the cut of meat (tái/chín) to the garnishes (quẩy, bò viên, cơm nguội).

Хорошая игра на вечер. Про хоррор аспект говорить ничего не буду, ибо там без спойлеров не обойтись,но что хочется выделить - разработчик достаточно умело использует дешевую угловатую графику для передачи атмосферы, чем меня игра особенно зацепила. Далеко не во всех подобных типа-симуляторах в инди играх такая рутина ощущается уместно, а тут прям хорошо все сделано в том числе благодаря атмосфере. Главный косяк игры - на момент написания данного обзора в игре всего два языка - вьетнамский и английский. И перевод на английский либо машинный, либо делался человеком, для которого язык прям сильно не родной. В целом происходящее в игре весьма понятно, но в самом начале игры сильно вгоняет в заблуждение несоответствие названия того, что клиент хочет и того, как та или иная штука подписана у тебя на столе, из-за чего придется минут 10-15 потупить, пытаясь понять как в это играть методом тыка (Кто не хочет ковыряться сам, внизу обзора замажу подсказку по трудностям перевода, если собираетесь играть - заскриньте на всякий случай) В принципе вот, игра бесплатная, проходится за час-полтора, в зависимости от того, будете вы ее проходить на разные концовки или нет, и по моему мнению, стоит каждой потраченной минуты. [spoiler]Если клиент хочет rare beef - надо класть обычный beef из красной тарелки, well-done beef это pre-cooked из коричневой, если просят например well-done beef balls, даете pre-cooked и туда же дополнительно эти шарики кидаете. Не благодарите. [/spoiler]

Great Indie game! It had a good twist as well
Walked into this game not knowing what to expect. I walked out of it entertained. Easy recommend if you want something short to play. Truly an experience.
I don't think anything I could ever type can fully encapture this legendary game. Your life will never be complete until you play it in its entirety.
Genuinely one of the most surprising and fun experiences I've ever had, don't let the graphics deceive you. It has action, suspense, and a deep story with lots of twists and turns. Plus minimal bugs 9/10
