Rainbows and Cheese Grits

In the Lonely Earth travel guide, there is one and only one entry for the town of Magnolia Falls: "While driving towards New Orleans, be sure to stop at Aunt Tupelo's Catfish for delectable fried catfish, iron skillet cornbread, homemade hot sauces, and the world's best cheese grits."

In this yuri visual novel, your job is to get the restaurant in the best shape you can before the fall Smush Puppy Festival. As you do, you'll interact with four other women and have a chance to fall in love.

Rainbows, Unicorns, and Cheese Grits is a cozy yuri romance set in the American South. Studio Elan meets Dolly Parton. Legends and Lattes meets Cornbread and Catfish. John Batiste meets Coffee Talk.
