About this gameFull description from Steam
Little Chef: Cozy Cooking is a short game where you experiment in the kitchen. You can drag, toss, and combine ingredients in fun and surprising ways, to fill your cookbook with over 300 recipes, ranging from the gourmet to the gross. The game is about 3 hours long. KITCHEN SANDBOX Get messy in the kitchen! Everything has weight, motion and personality. Drag and drop items, or throw them around. So, mix and match, toss and break things to complete your to do list. COUNTLESS SECRETS Not all ingredients are easy to find. Every cabinet and shelf is chock-full of hidden ingredients waiting to be uncovered. Some are hidden, others are locked away, and solving these puzzles might mean thinking creatively. CHAOTIC ACHIEVEMENTS Behind every kitchen nook and cranny are achievements that reward you for bending the rules of the kitchen. To solve the game’s most challenging puzzles, players will need to throw out the recipe book, roll up their sleeves, and think outside the box. FEATURES: Around 3 hour of playtime to complete all 3 levels in 3 different kitchens. Cook everything from comfort foods and gourmet dishes to strange, surprising experiments. Play with satisfying physics as every ingredient and object reacts in fun, surprising ways. Solve playful kitchen puzzles to uncover hidden ingredients, secrets, and new ways to cook. Collect fun achievements that reward curiosity, chaos, and breaking the rules. Follow a heartfelt story by unlocking each recipe. THE TEAM Hello! We are a small group of friends who wanted to make a cute game about cooking. We started this project in the end of 2024 and this will be is our first commercial release! Our team is Julien (game designer & co-creator), Erika (artist & co-creator), Danny (programmer) and Kristin (narrative desiger) and Tumult Kollective (audio design). Most of us work on this project part time but we love experimenting, learning, and pushing their ideas as far as their own skills, time, and personal investment allow us. And we hope you will enjoy our creation :)
