Annual revamp at The Garlic Tree

It has become something of an annual event, as The Garlic Tree is stripped down and reassembled for another 12 months. Back in June 2016 I welcomed in a new layout in the grand manner with the finale to The Chemist, the Cat and the Time Machine adventure, following a 10 week odyssey.

I can't offer anything as impressive this time around, but I have done my best to take my restaurant to the next level. So here is the latest carnation of The Garlic Tree, following an expansion to 26x29:

July 2017 showcase

As we enter July I'm pleased to present another showcase, where some of my fine neighbours take to the stage and show off their wonderful restaurants.

Sadly this particular edition only includes two players. The drip feed of updates over the last few months has undoubtedly taken its toll, with many players either dropping out of the game or scaling back their commitment significantly. I can't blame anyone for this, especially since some of the folks I'm referring to here have been brilliant neighbours down the years. As time passes people move on and unfortunately that has been observed in Restaurant Story.

Game update: 29/06/17

Just as we were on the brink of the first month in Restaurant Story history to provide us with only one update, an in-game pop up introduced a special event with items re-released and on sale.

Notification for summer themed sale

It has to be said that we've been needing this sale. It may not bring any new content or themes, but it does at least give us something to discuss, and that's not been all that common recently. The water park themed goals were the only update in June up until this point, and the release prior to that was the theatre themed quest which was now five-and-a-half weeks ago.
