Meat Grinder: Hotdog Simulator

Looking forward to the content updates. It's not a terribly deep game, so you can burn through it pretty quick. The story was underwhelming but the core gameplay loop is decently enjoyable. A major QoL improvement would be the sauce recipes going from a poster on the wall to a booklet that shows the recipe, adds the name to it when you first make the sauce, and then (maybe) adds what it does once you've served it to a customer. Trying to remember the recipe for the "good" sauces isn't too annoying but it'd save you from wasting a bottle with the wrong recipe. Two things that could make this more interesting: An alternate path for when you only get meat from the butcher. This game would benefit greatly from coop. It'd help keep the day segments moving faster, you could make more money from more customers, and then ramp up the number of cops patrolling at night while you and some friends are trying to rob graves. If this were to come, I'd rather see it much later down the line as the core gameplay/story additions that are on the roadmap would be far more beneficial.

Very atmospheric, love the moral choice you can make. Good repetitive gameplay (I like that kind of thing), and lots of potential for future updates. Love the style, too

Running a hot dog stand during the day and digging up the local cemetery at night to keep the grinder fed is the kind of premise that either works or collapses immediately. This one worked. The loop is simple and nasty in the right way. Serve people who have no idea what they’re eating, then go out after dark and solve the supply problem with a shovel. Watching a corpse get turned into the next day’s stock never stopped feeling wrong. That’s what kept me in it. Not shock for the sake of it, just the steady, ugly practicality of the whole thing. You know exactly what you’re doing and the game doesn’t flinch. It isn’t deep. The town is small, the systems are thin, and once you understand the rhythm there’s not much left to discover. Still wanted to keep going anyway. The bit where you’re processing the dead into something people will pay for stayed interesting longer than it had any right to. Unnerving and hard to put down once the night shift starts. Not for people who need their cooking games clean. If the idea of the meat being local in the worst possible sense is enough, it holds up.

The positive outweigh the negative and for that reason I'm going to leave a positive review First, the positives - If you're looking for a work as an employee / business owner type horror game where things start slowly developing and the story starts unfolding (THIS IS THE GAME FOR YOU) - I really loved every aspect of building up your own hot dog shop with the gravedigging lore attached - This game was pretty funny, I put a 💩 into a bun and gave it to a customer - W devs for having a roadmap out with a pledge to add new free content over time! Second, the negative - My real complaint is the story was very lack luster. It felt there was no satisfying conclusion or really any conclusion worth anything, the town wasn't really interactive either despite all the houses, church, lighthouse, police station, etc Overall, I had a good time, and the fact that the devs are adding even more content 👏👏

Yes

not a very good game. is really short and if you listen to the guy or not. it acts like you do.
