About the Game

Ready to battle for the title of top eatery? Yes, Chef! 

You’ve just inherited your grandma’s once-famous meatball restaurant in the cozy town of KuloNiku. Now it’s up to you to bring it back to glory as the top eatery! Take on eccentric orders from townsfolk, serve delicious meals, and restore your family’s legacy.

Beware—there’s fierce competition from the town’s flashiest rival: Souper Starz, run by the menacing rockstar chef, Stella!

  • Chop, boil, fry, torch, pour, sizzle, slice, and skewer, and more with immersive, tactile controls that make every action tickle your brain and make your mouth water.

  • Want to add an extra punch of garlic or a sprinkle of salt? Go for it. You’re the chef – find multiple ways to prepare your customers the perfect dish and rack up those juicy tips! 💰

  • But your customers aren’t just customers. Some may become your friends 🤝, rivals ⚔️, or even part of your story 📖.

  • Rival chefs want the top spot, and there’s only one way to settle things: Meatball Brawls!

  • In these thrilling culinary duels, you’ll go head-to-head to impress a panel of rotating judges. It’s not just about speed - it’s about strategy, creativity, and mastering every step of the cooking process.

  • Play mini-games to impress both the judges and the crowd watching live, who will issue on-the-spot requests to boost your score!

  • Keep things fresh! Unlock new tools, purchase higher-quality ingredients, and discover brand-new recipes to keep your menu exciting.

  • Personalize your restaurant with fun decorations in a variety of styles - even buy full sets! Decor isn’t just cosmetic; some items give gameplay perks to impress your customers.

  • Unlock special decorations by playing in special festivals or raising your friendship level with town residents!

  • An eclectic cast of characters awaits you in KuloNiku - No matter friend or rival (or both??), they've all got stories to tell!

  • Raise your friendship level with a cast of companions to unlock special illustrations and decorations.

  • Uncover the mystery of your eye-raising past and save your grandmother's restaurant alongside your friends!
