March 2025

The game to redefine gaming for the next generation. The game posits the question "is it possible to cook an egg on Mount Everest?" and I began openly sobbing as I realized, standing there in the cold, the only thing stopping me from cooking an egg on Everest was that I had never considered I could. A masterpiece

This is a weird little game. I love it. I played only on steamdeck, and my review has some suggestions for controls. I bought this when steam had a sale for cooking games. I took one look at the artstyle and bought it immediately, no questions asked. It's got a fever dream vibe to it. There's a hazy filter and pastel colors with soft lighting everywhere. Character models constantly undulate in this unsettling way since they usually don't have enough polygons. It's moving texture stretched over octagonal faces and I really love it. When you talk to people you watch their dialogue pop up and sometimes the wrong text appears and gets backspaced and edited in front of you. It's a neat little detail that adds to the dreamscape feeling. Then there's the world building. It's weird and interesting. People exposite random information, sometimes completely unrelated to anything at all. And there's a saint of six stomachs people want to impress? Very little is explained to you, and why would it be? You're treated as a regular in this world and it makes the game far more engaging. Everyone talks in this sort of casual off the cuff way that vaguely reminds me of toddlers walking up to you and over sharing details. One soldier tells me "we're here because the people need us, but not in an authorian way, they actually need us. Right? I think." Another says "my girlfriend lives in another country. That's why you don't know her. She's polish" another says "you aren't ready for the weird hungry freaks through this door until you've fed more people." Occasionally you'll cook for someone or talk to them and they'll move in unexpected and bizzare ways. I made someone eggs and he suddenly jumped up and did a little dance for me. It was endearing. I'm playing this on my steamdeck, which is an interesting challenge. The instructions tell you to hold the left stick and move the right, but that's not actually how you play. All you have to do is move the right stick or the right track pad until sparks appear in the pan. But it's so wildly sensitive it makes the game really hard to play. The gameplay is slippery and inconsistent even when you're not trying to use joysticks. Here's how I 100% this game using a steamdeck. I enabled gyroscope as mouse, reduced the gyroscope sensitivity to 75%, inverted x and y, and binded it to a shoulder button. The gyroscope won't work correctly if you enable it on the right stick. Doing this lets me gently jiggle my steam deck in order to move the pan in game and it even cooks faster. It's hilarious, I've got real pan motions now and it makes the game more enjoyable. I think this might make the game easier than using a mouse. Using gyroscope for small gentle movements and quick small flicks of the right stick for big movements worked really well. The artstyle, the graphics, the music, the bizzare premise and gameplay, it's all working in incredible unison. There was real direction driving this. The gameplay can be frustrating though, it's kind of like QWOP or surgeon simulator esq cooking. There's also no real over arching story here but I don't think there needs to be. I appreciate how strange this game is, and while it might not be for everyone, it's worth experiencing for $5-$10.

Before you play this game, there are a few things you need to know: 1. It's weeeiiiiiird. Very weird, and very niche. Basically you have to serve food for a bunch of people who are either collectively stoned or have gone collectively insane, speaking in nonsensical word salad with the occasional philosophical statement thrown in and demanding increasingly bizarre meals that I didn't think would be edible. 2. It's hard as hell, especially for completionists. There are 34 guests to serve, and while you only need 27 to advance, you get achievements for serving them all. Some meals are relatively easy, others are not. There are three difficulty settings, and while you can play most of the game on the easiest one, there's an achievement for beating the final challenge on hardmode, where the pan is completely flat. Also, the pan is VERY nonstick, so you have to be careful with ingredients slipping off. 3. The BEST way to play this game is to not play it all in one sitting, come back to harder parts later, and play with keyboard and mouse or (if compatible) motion controls. On keyboard you can adjust the sensitivity of the pan physics whenever you wish (just use the mouse wheel). It will be a LOT harder with a joystick. 4. Despite everything, the game is bizarrely fascinating. Like there are a number of times I wanted to ragequit but still kept coming back to it. Part of me wanted to beat the challenge rather than concede defeat, but I think another part of me was morbidly curious about the world I was in and who I was feeding. 5.Without spoiling anything, the ending of the game is satisfying and funny as hell. Even if the game was frustrating, the ending made everything worth it. Basically, I recommend this game to anyone who wants a good challenge or for people who want that stoned feeling.

Critical Reflex have been publishing some really wild games lately, including Buckshot Roulette, Mouthwashing, and this. While they're all pretty niche, this is by far the most esoteric and hardest to recommend of the bunch. This feels like a collection of grade school musings and shower thoughts inside of a digital dreamscape. Regardless, the gameplay itself is simple enough: cook what people request while progressing through more difficult cooking obstacles and challenges. That's the hardest barrier to recommending this: in addition to dealing with frustrating pan physics, you also have to cook a lot of inedible objects, from the weird to the disgusting to the maddening. By the time I reached double pufferfish (pincushions that bounce out of your pan) I was backtracking for easier cooking requests to hit my quota of 27. It's weird, it's unique, it's memorable. However it's questionable if it's worth the price. I like weird games like this and I'm glad I played it, but it's the most difficult to recommend of the three games mentioned above. Still, I'm looking forward to what Critical Reflex and what all of these devs are doing next. A mild recommendation for something so surreal; there's so many $10 games on Steam that there's probably something better on your wishlist at this price point.
