How it feels

A surreal and punishing first-person cooking simulator where flipping eggs feels like a struggle against physics in a desolate, lore-rich sci-fi world.

What players say

Players cook unusual ingredients like cockroaches and cigarettes in a short, surreal story set in Antarctica. The simple frying pan mechanic gets trickier over time, and the dialogue blends philosophy with absurd humor. Some note minor bugs and driver issues at launch.
