Side Hustle: Filipino Street Food Simulator in Development

Mayari Studios, a game developer based in General Santos City, is creating a business simulation game centered on running a Filipino street food operation. Titled Side Hustle, the cozy simulator places players in the role of a student managing a small food stall.

The game focuses on grilling and preparing popular street food items, including isaw, pork barbecue, adidas, and betamax. Players will also make and sell ice na piso, a nostalgic frozen treat, while attending to customers during peak service periods.

Beyond cooking, the gameplay involves restocking supplies, investing in stall improvements, and navigating the operational demands of a small business. The experience draws inspiration directly from the culture and atmosphere of Filipino street food vendors.

The title has not yet launched, and no official release date has been announced. Prospective players interested in following the game's progress can track updates through Mayari Studios' Facebook page.
