Kontayn's Food

2.5D Small Business Simulator

Run and manage a small business in the scenic, but challenging, Welsh hills. Choose whether to start a cozy bakery, bustling brewery, stylish barbershop, or elegant restaurant—or take on the challenge of running a Smallholding/Farm to supply goods to both your business and the local community. 

But it’s not just about the food and service—can you, your family, and your business survive 3 months of sideways rain while managing your finances and growing your operation? Winter is always coming.

Note: This is a simulation—never financial advice!
