Rolling Hills' Main Gameplay Revolves Around Obtaining New Recipes And Forming New Relationships

As is to be expected, a large portion of Rolling Hills' restaurant management gameplay involves making sushi, with players unlocking new recipes including the likes of California Rolls, Kappa Rolls and Fruit Rolls to suit the townfolks' different tastes. From here, players must also source the freshest ingredients from the local market to improve upon these recipes' flavor an quality to become the best sushi restaurant in town.

As the second part of Rolling Hills' subtitle would suggest, the other major part of its core gameplay revolves around forming new relationships and integrating with the town's residents. This can be done over a cup of coffee, or by exploring the area outside the restaurant and helping them with their day-to-day needs to make not only the state of sushi in the area better, but the lives of the townsfolk in general.

Only one other title has been confirmed for Xbox Game Pass' roster in June 2024 - the acclaimed 2021 horror puzzle game Firework on PC - but it already seems like a very diverse pairing, showing the range of titles available for subscribers. Rolling Hills: Make Sushi, Make Friends looks like a promising start for the month and is certainly one to watch those who enjoy cozy indie titles, with an earlier version of the game having already been well received at the 2020 PAX East Showcase and the 2020 Wholesome Direct, according to the game's Steam page.
