Feed the customers as they enter your restaurant, but do it quickly! The customers aren't known for patience, and might come looking for another snack...
New customers will ring the bell and expect you to take their order from their booths. Find the cooking instructions on the wall, and the ingredients in the pantry. Bring the finished meal back to the customer and they stay happy!
Controls: WASD for movement, left & right click for using left & right hand.
You did a fantastic job! I was legitimately scared walking in to the lower pantry area the first time, the ambiance is unsettling. I loved the environment art such as the paintings and the recipe board, and the characters are beautiful! The only thing I was confused about was when I pressed the Spacebar my view would lock forward. Not sure if this is intentional, but once I figured that out, it was an absolute blast!
The graphics, sound and mood of the game are great! Gameplay is a bit slow, so I don't find it that entertaining, but that really depends on each player. Solid entry! If you want to try my game out, I'd really appreciate some feedback! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/secrets-of-the-forest
I tried to play your game but after the download i could not unzip it. Do i need to download unzipping program or should it work with all unzip programs. Also best regards from Laajasalo opisto and could you test our games too :smile: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/horror-minigolf
Loved it! Thanks for fixing the d/l. At one point I put the right ingredients in the kettle to make the... eye, tentacle thing, but got roasted toes out? Other than that, it's a really solid effort. Loved the art and the atmospheric noises and music.
Interesting Idea. I liked the texture based items and enemies and I like how the items swung in your hands. If would have been nice if there had been a sprint option, or something.
Man, this game is fantastic with it's sound, art, and its play-ability. I'm so glad I was pointed this way by @infinitycore.
I love food-making games, and that really held with this one even though it's not a "typical" food game. I have to say though, the atmosphere was so *intense.* With the beating heart and the constant atmospheric sounds, it was like a constant pressure on my soul--which is fantastic for mood, but made it so I had to stop playing after a bit, due to just being physically uncomfortable.
I think what also contributed to that is the first-person perspective and the view-bobbing... I can get motion sickness from that, and so I was ever-so-slightly queasy while experiencing this TENSE and overwhelming/oppressive atmosphere. I can see myself possibly coming back to this game in the future, but the effect it had on me physically might keep me away. It definitely made it less fun to play, even though I liked the experience.
I really loved how large yet sparse the pantry was. I know that's probably more a product of it being a jam game, but even in a full release, I think that would be the way to go.
Wow, who would have thought these two genres mix so well? I loooove the atmosphere you created. The graphics are of insanely high quality and the ambient sound and beating heart are incredible intense. Such a nice creepy mood.
I liked the atmosphere it was dark and the music oppressing. At first I thought it wasn't really a horror game because there was no ennemy to fear, even rushing to the monster on the basement did nothing. But from the 4th meal when you have to do 2 at the same time, they start chasing you, it's stressing ;) well done.
Pretty solid entry here with a great atmosphere. It's very oppressive to cook for these monsters. Music add more stressful feeling. It could be fun to add some intermediate ingredient but it's already good very like that. Great job! :)
Nice graphics, eerie and scary. The paintings on the walls were cool as well. The movement was really slow though so after a little while it got boring to walk back and forth. Wish this game was more intense but I like it, good job! :)
Funny idea to create a cooking game in such an environment and with these ingredients. Your graphics could be straight from a board game. Because you look great. For me the game was from illumination to dark and the cooking utensils could have been more witch-like.

Amazing job!
