What is PAO PAO like?
Up to four of you run a restaurant in a seaside town online, and between services you cook, fish, farm and build your home.
One player creates the session and the others join by invitation. The group runs the restaurant, explores the town, farms, fishes and decorates, and each person can take a different job while customers come in. It has been in Early Access since October 26, 2026, planned for about 6 to 12 months, and cooking, fishing, gardening and customer service are still due for more depth.
Will your group like it?
Groups who want a calm night of farming and cooking with no combat, and who can split the chores however they like.
Anyone after couch split screen, since every player needs their own PC and copy, or anyone who wants a finished game, since it is still in Early Access.
