Eating Food

1. Your hero has a hunger gauge. Initially, the gauge has a limit of 100. After every fight, the indicator will be lowered until it reaches 0.
2. The world of the game contains a lot of restaurants that allow you to order food. Every meal renews the hunger gauge and adds a certain amount of experience points.
3. You can order up to 9 meals. At first, you won't need that much food - Kiryu will be saved by a few meals, while food adds experience only when your character is hungry.

1. Some of the meals can be fused creating a setup - eating it adds an additional bonus to experience.
2. It is recommended to develop abilities that increase the capacity of Kiryu's stomach (Boost Hunger Gauge and Boost Digestion). You'll be able to eat more often and eat bigger meals that offer much more experience.
3. Do not worry about the prices - at first, the food may seem to be expensive, but you'll quickly come into more money.
4. Search for meals that boost Technique and Charm.
5. You can also buy takeout - the food can be eaten at any given moment, adding experience and regenerating Kiryu's health.
