It’s Ramadan!
Good Lookin’ Home Cookin’ (GLHC, for short) is 100% halal. Amira and Jessica know that Ramadan is a chance for them to show the citizens of Fernweh that halal food can be enjoyed by anyone, year round. But, this also puts the pressure on - As one of Fernweh’s only halal options, every Muslim family starts to order their iftar meals from GLHC food court. Will their dream of running a successful business together destroy their friendship? You decide.
“We see how the protagonists are on guard in nearly every conversation, wanting desperately to share their culture and food truck dining spot with the world but also hesitant to trust their own vulnerability.”
— Todd Martens, Los Angeles Times
Negative Self-Talk
Amira and Jessica both experience stress from running a business and pressure from their families, though in different ways. Amira, in particular, takes criticism to heart and is hard on herself, in an unproductive way. We aim to show how negative self-talk and undiagnosed depression can manifest and how a person can help their friend through a low spiral.
“A not-so-cozy ‘cozy game’ - For those who thrive under pressure in an attempt to live their dream.”
Cultural Awareness
Good Lookin’ Home Cookin’ takes place in a fictional Northeast coastal town in the United States called Fernweh (pronounced Fern - Vee), with a strong LGBTQIA+ and diverse community. Toadhouse Games has reached out to the communities we aim to represent to ensure we do so in an accurate and respectful manner. We also hire cultural consultants and sensitivity readers.
