How it feels

A whimsical yet tense roguelite strategy game where you manage a squad of anthropomorphic food heroes in turn-based battles against zombie ingredients, scavenging and crafting to survive a fridge catastrophe.

What players say

Players enjoy the cute food-themed art and the strategic twist of crafting units from ingredients, but warn that it is punishing and has no tutorial, requiring trial and error. Comparisons to Into the Breach come up often, with some saying this game focuses more on improvisation and level traversal. It is early access and players expect more content and polish through updates.
