About The Sushi House
The Sushi House is a first-person adventure simulator where you run a sushi shop while uncovering eerie mysteries. Developed by Noirbit and released in November 2025, it blends management mechanics with narrative-driven exploration. You prep ingredients, handle customers, and manage finances, but the game’s real hook is the slow reveal of strange occurrences in the shop’s basement. Set in a dimly lit, claustrophobic environment, it feels more like a psychological thriller than a traditional simulator. The genre mix isn’t seamless, but the unsettling tone and dual focus on mundane tasks and occult secrets make it memorable.
Gameplay
Each session starts with routine tasks: slicing fish, restocking supplies, and serving customers. But between shifts, you explore the shop’s backrooms, collecting odd items and piecing together fragmented lore. The controls are twitchy in 3D sections, requiring precise clicks to interact with objects. The simulation half is slow-paced and methodical, while the mystery segments lean into point-and-click puzzle-solving. You’ll replay dialogue with employees to notice subtle changes, and backtrack to earlier levels to access new areas. The game forces you to balance efficiency in the front of house with curiosity in the back, creating a tense push-and-pull dynamic.
What Players Think
The game holds a 4.3/5 rating on PlayPile, with 82% of reviews calling it “oddly satisfying.” Community stats show an average playtime of 18 hours, and 85% of players complete the main story. Achievements total 42, with 25 earned on average. Fans praise the “creepy” atmosphere (74% of moods tag it as eerie) and the way mundane tasks contrast with the horror elements. Critics note the simulation systems feel undercooked, with 21% rating it below 4/5 for repetitive gameplay. Despite mixed opinions on polish, 93% of players who finish it say they’d play it again, citing the “twist on the simulator genre.”
PlayPile's Take
The Sushi House is best for fans of slow-burn narratives and experimental gameplay. At $24.99, it’s a mid-tier buy with 42 achievements offering replay value. While the simulation half lacks depth, the mystery segments are gripping for 18 hours of play. If you enjoy games like The Vanishing of Ethan Carter but want a kitchen-themed twist, this is for you. Skip it if you prefer streamlined simulators or dislike abstract storytelling. The blend of management and occult mystery isn’t for everyone, but it carves a niche worth exploring.
