This is a cooking sim for people who have struggled with mental health issues and/or worked in a kitchen (ha ha, redundant).   Gameplay The gameplay is your basic singleplayer cooking game. Orders come in from annoying, unseen customers, and it's your job to make them - perfectly, otherwise the annoying, unseen chef will yell at you - in a timely manner. Features As you progress through the seven stations of the kitchen (Bar, Dodger Night, Oven, Fryer, Saute, Salads, Code Red) you will unlock new characters with unique abilities, get paid for each dish you make correctly, and shop for things you don’t need. Do drugs (or, preferably, don’t) to manage your mental health and affect gameplay elements. If you make it far enough, you'll get to unlock the recipes from the actual restaurant. Life Lessons Get stressed, make money, buy stuff, do drugs. Learn something hopefully. Repeat. The only enemy is your ego - conquer it or die trying. 


Notes: Unlike working in an actual kitchen, alcohol and drug use are only implied. Similarly, mental health issues are simulated. If you don't like being cursed at or demeaned/belittled, don't play this game.
