The effort here has been spent on the interactions, the way the carousel spins as you select ingredients at the start, and the way a squid, say, will flop onto the table or the way an octopus tentacle will reveal a coiled, muscular rubberiness as you move it around. And then, once they've eaten, you can go back and cook something new again. And if the patron doesn't like what you've served them, you can swap them out for another patron. You can take as much time as you want, and deal with any of the ingredients in any way you please. In Toca Kitchen Sushi, which is the team's most recent digital toy, and also the thing that my daughter and I have truly fallen for over the last month, your job is to make dinner for a range of patrons at a sushi restaurant. Nature could be investigated, but it could not be owned. Each creation lasted as long as you wanted to look at it, and would be erased forever when you moved onto something else. In a game like Toca Nature, in which you are presented with an open landscape that you can cover with trees, lakes, and mountains, this meant that there was no way to save what you were doing. There is something obvious and appealing to do, but no punishment for doing it wrong, and no clear point at which the thing you're doing is completed so the whole thing has to end. This shows itself in the way they present their objectives. The thing I like the most about Toca Boca video games, I think, is that they are so confident in what they're doing.
