Key Points:
- Beastro is a cozy cooking deckbuilding roguelike where players control Panko, a sous chef in the village of Palo Pori, who runs a restaurant to support heroes called Caretakers fighting monsters outside the village walls.
- The gameplay is divided into daily segments: gathering ingredients in the morning through activities like fishing and gardening, followed by running the restaurant with cooking mini-games and serving dishes to Caretakers.
- Players craft dishes by placing Tetris-shaped ingredients with specific flavor profiles (Umami, Salty, Sour, Bitter, Sweet) to match Caretakers' preferences, which influences the cards and abilities they gain for combat.
- Evening gameplay transitions into turn-based, flavor-themed card battles where players use decks
