Think your PC is strong? Prove it.Our splitscreen system doesn't fake it, it spawns multiple full game instances, splits the screen, and assigns a controller to each one. Add players until your CPU sweats, your GPU screams, or your cooling setup earns its paycheck.Each splitscreen player runs a real, independent game, meaning everyone can play online, invite their own friends, trigger different events, or even take over a separate display. We've pushed it to 12 players on a single machine. Anything beyond that is between you and your hardware.AI disclaimer:We understand that AI can be a sensitive topic in the gaming community. For us, AI is simply a tool that helps speed up parts of development: the vision, design, and final decisions are always human-made. Our goal remains the same: to create games crafted with care that players can enjoy.What Steam players say

✦ AI summary
Players praise the fun co-op cooking gameplay, interesting mechanics, diverse levels, and working multiplayer features, though some note AI-voiced characters detract from the experience. Common complaints include server connectivity issues preventing menu access, missing character customization options like skin color selection, and inconsistent AI assistant behavior during gameplay. Despite being early access, most recommend it as an enjoyable experience, particularly when playing with friends.
❌ I tried to enter the menu for 10 minutes. There was only one link - "Loading in the game server..." and the "Retry" button. ⚙️ Waiting for the fix.5 found this helpful
A cringy pixelated piece of trash with awful AI voice acting and translation. Feels like a Roblox mode ported to Steam for no clear reason. Roblox kids might enjoy it.5 found this helpful
A chaotic, fast-paced co-op cooking simulation game, , where players (1–6 players) work together to cook, serve, and clean while navigating frantic, unexpected kitchen disasters. Currently in development, the game features, local play, and online multiplayer, with a demo available on Steam. Features unpredictable events where the kitchen environment changes or breaks down, requiring improvisation. Players must upgrade stations, fix equipment, and manage varied, themed levels. I 'am harsh at the beginning of this video but its a great game i would recommend to my friends. A more indept review on my youtube page. https://youtu.be/RO4N0Cz-pEg3 found this helpful
Good game but i would really like to be black! Definitely should be basic in all customizations. If these guys weren't racist, they'd add different skin colors in 2026.2 found this helpful
Its a good game! Its just I wanna be my own skin color and some of the ai assistants do not do their work! One time a cook just stood around and looked at me like I was doing something wrong1 found this helpful

What I liked: -Working multiplayer and co-op -Interesting game mechanics -Tons of different levels -Magnificent locations What I didn't like: -AI-voiced characters I didn't notice many bugs, just one at the outset.
