A short game themed around cooking that I have been working on in my spare time.

Expect some weirdness.

Features/Design Philosophy:

• It's short game that goes for about 10-20 minutes but ~30 minutes of optional content for the player to explore.
• Dialogue is short and to the point. I'd tried to get a lot of value out of a little dialogue rather than force the players through long conversations.
• Zero Grinding. You do not need to do any grinding to complete the main quest. You are rewarded for experimentation and practice but it is not required.
• A different approach to combat.
  • The combat is short and high stakes.
  • Single use items play an important part of combat and require some management of inventory and finances to achieve success.
  • No random encounters. All encounters are initiated by the player.
  • If you unlock the second party member than timing/coordination becomes important as well.
  • Equipment affects both stats in combat and ability to produce high quality meals. There is a wide range equipment to suit the players style and technique.
• Art style.
  • I've used the default assets as much as possible to keep to a consistent art style. The intention was to get as much value as possible out of a little than a little value out of a lot.
  • A balance between simplicity and detail. I didn't want the visuals to be over detailed because that can feel clustered or overstimulating (sometimes a problem for people with visual processing difficulties). I also didn't want to want to have vast amounts of unused space in the maps. I tried to find a comfortable balance between the two and still give each location a unique feel. Again, I aimed for a lot of value out of a little.
