Elin River Cruise is a quick, slice of life style game where players take on the role of River Cruise captains. Each Captain will have 5 guests seeking adventure at the three unique site types as well as the opportunity to shop and eat fine foods. At first, Captains will only know a little about their guests' preferences, but as the game continues and as meals are shared, the guests reveal more about what it is they want to see along the Elin River. There's only so many hours in the day, Captain, can you meet the needs of your guests and receive the coveted 5 star ratings that will keep your company in business? —description from the publisher
