How does the game fit the theme?
Can't trust this chef. Keep an eye on him.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All code was written from scratch.
Art assets were either specifically drawn for the game, or images that were cropped, heavily edited and then painted over.
Music was made from scratch.
Approximately half of the sound effects were recorded in house, and the rest were edited from Pixabay.

Big fan of this. The game design is self-explanatory, willem dafoe is cooking me up some bangers... One problem. I cannot figure out how to get a new dish once I finish the first one. I really tried to figure it out, but maybe I'm dumb. Clicking the existing plate or clicking the new one didn't seem to do anything.
Shove the empty plate away by holding click on the text box on the left!
My William Dafoe actualy remebered i have an oyster allergy. Cooked 10 meals whitout them straight.
Then probably got mad i havent paid for any of it and straight up decided to kill me. 16 dishes tho. Don't invite me to all you can eat.
Art was incredible. Those frying pans are so sharp. The meals itself was realy nicly done in terms of mechanics and art.
Chef's kiss
This game is so eerie, but fits the theme so good. The visuals and sound design are also really good. This is one of the best games ive seen in this jam so far, with its unique art style and fitting theme!
Oh I'm gonna remember this one long after the jam. This one just nails the uncomfortable vibe and everything from the visuals to the sound effects is made to emphasize this feeling.
I think the hunger bar is drained just a bit too quickly. After just a few dishes I was desparate and would take anything the chef would make. Just a minor complaint.
Really good stuff here
Great visuals. Reminds me of No I'm Not A Human. Very uncomfortable and gross vibe haha. Awesome job!
Thank you! our team enjoys working on gamejams, but this time bc the artist had less time we figured we could use a production similar to No I'm Not A Human to speed up our process:) which is basically photobashing with heavy contrast, exposure and painting on top.
I LOVE the visuals so much, and the concept of having to watch this man cook as you try to quickly eat is such a fun mechanic, I really hope you guys continue with this game in any way, shape, or form. Obviously it would be better with music, but I really think this has potential!
You're right, it is better with music! Come check it out again :p
I def will! It was so fun!
I have just replayed it! Great sound design! I also love the replayablity of new allergies you have to pay attention to, my first playthrough I got bread and this time I got crab. This is honestly one of the most creative submissions in the whole jam, and it was a delight to come back to it! I have updated my rating to reflect this :)
This has been one of the more interesting ones I've played so far. I enjoyed the take on not being able to trust the guy cooking for you and you have to keep checking on him to see. I also really dig the visual vibe, but I'm missing some sound. Cooking sounds, eating sounds, putting the plate away. Would be even more interesting if you could hear the different cooking actions so you could even mentally track what the cook is doing so you can strategise to take another bite before looking up. I think the controls could have also been finetuned, maybe a RMB to put the fork down, a right mouse flight to smack the plate away, and maybe use a separate button to switch views quickly like space bar or something.
Hey, thank you so much for your feedback! Although we had the sound (and music) already ready and in queue, I ended up implementing majority of the controls you suggested, and now I feel the game is much better. Thanks a bunch, and maybe check it out again now that it's finished.
The game definitely feels more complete now! But I think you weren't supposed to update it as the same build past the deadline? Maybe if you upload it as separate build?
Yum! I want to hire this cook at home.
It would be nice if I could do something to eat the food faster rather than wait for the timer. I liked that I could just be like NOPE and slap the food out of the way haha.
Timer has been sped up dramatically, alongside a multitude of other changes made to the game!
I enjoyed it
Glad u were pleased good costumer
Fun concept and the art style i very pleasing.
Thank you!!:3
I like the concept of the game. I only think the actions are too slow when eating, and the cook keeps giving me more food :D. The art is super cool!
Thanks for the advice! The actions have been sped up, and the game has improved dramatically. Come check it out again!
