Delicious: Emily's Taste of Truth (aka Taste of Truth) Walkthough and Tips

Please Note: I play on PC only, and may not be able to help you with any other platform.

The gameplay for Delicious: Emily's Taste of Truth (also known as "Delicious: Taste of Truth") is standard, and just like the other recent Delicious games.  There is a basic walkthough built into the game each time it introduces something new.  I'll provide screenshots for Carl the Mouse, and any tips that I can, level by level.

Special Customers: There are four special customer types.  

1- Granny: She takes longer to decide but her hearts don't decrease as quickly.  She is found in Napoli's, Bernadette's and the last levels of Purely Plants.

2- The Influencer: There are both male and female customers, and they don't ask for a specific item.  They will show a hashtag (#) over their head, and will take whatever is first on your tray.  They are in Seas the Day and Purely Plants.  Tip: Pick out a more expensive item for them, such as fish, to get more points.  Also, serve them AFTER you serve everyone else's order on your tray so that you will be certain to give them what you want.

3- Impatient Man: This is a customer who only arrives with three hearts, and those hearts decrease quickly.  He appears at O'Fannon's Pub, Bernadette's, and the last levels of Purely Plants.

4- Forgetful Teens: Their order will only show for five seconds, then will disappear.  It will reappear again for five seconds.  He appears at Wonder State BBQ and Purely Plants.

Discussing Delicious: Emily's Taste of Truth

Note: My new walkthrough is completed and can be found here.

I've played the hour demo, and I like it as much as Mystery Mansion or Cooking and Romance.  Certainly not as much as the classic Emily games, of course, but enough that I will probably buy it and finish it.

It seems straightforward enough, and Carl the Mouse seems easy enough to find, so at this point in the game I'm not seeing the need of a walkthrough.

What do those of you that have played more of the game think?  Does it get challenging enough to need a walkthrough or mouse location screenshots?

What do you guys think of the game so far?

Edit: I played the first two restaurants and a few levels of the third.  I like the game okay, but I don't know if I like it enough to buy it and/or play it all the way through.  (I had two free days of FunPass to try the game.)  My problem with it is, as always with the new games, the mini games break up the flow of the time management and I don't find them fun.  

Final Thoughts: After completing the game, I can say that I did like it.  I didn't love it, but it was mostly fun.  I enjoyed the last three restaurants much better than the first three, so if you're in doubt, it does get better.

"Delicious 1 Remake - The First Course" Review

Delicious 1 Remake - The First Course
3/5 stars

I played the demo and bought it right away, but after a four restaurants, I'm disappointed.  The gameplay is good, despite the mini-games, but the restaurants are identical.  There is no variation for how food is made between restaurants.  Each has two smoothies, each has two baked goods, two foods on the stove, two drinks . . .  There is no variety with the way food is cooked between restaurants either, so that it becomes boring after a bit.  Also, the lack of a storyline was a disappointment as well.  If this were my first Emily game, I'd probably rate it higher, but having been playing them since 2007 (Delicious 2), I expected more charm, challenge, and fun.

What are your thoughts?

Edit: After six restaurants, I found it too dull to continue and have uninstalled it and am playing Emily's Wonder Wedding instead.
