What players say
Players describe a short 10-15 minute narrative about making hot pot alone on Christmas Eve, with a bittersweet story and calming music. Many note the lack of objectives beyond cooking, and some find throwing away leftover ingredients emotionally uncomfortable. A recent endless mode addresses that wish for more freedom.
