Experienced gamers may have seen that even the giant AAA studios, which make games with budgets of tens of millions of dollars, lower their limits when it comes to the inventory / loot system.

But...

Of course, when we decided to bring "You Are The Dinner" to the players, we were aware of these workloads and organized our plans in this way.

Now it's time to integrate that full, rich inventory system into the game.

We are preparing to open the inventory system that we have been working on for a long time to our players soon, and we wanted to share this news with our supporters who follow the game.

Thank you again for supporting You Are The Dinner through Early Access.
