Halloween Update

Happy Halloween, Chefs!

We've got a spooky update filled with tricks, treats, and the ghost of the most hated ingredient!

Introducing 3 new ingredients, one of which is 2-in-1 and another that's actually 5 distinct ingredients!

Plus 2 new helpers, one of which is featured in the latest Weekly Challenge.

And 3 new Haunted customers.

Lastly, we've reworked the input system to provide better support for controller input: specifically to get the game working much smoother on Steam Deck!

  • Rotate/Select Ingredients - Bumpers, D-Pad, Backside Buttons

  • Grab Ingredients - RT, A

  • Move Cursor - Touchpads, Joysticks

  • Open Feedback - Select

  • Open Settings - Start

With that we can now apply for fully Verified Steam Deck status! If you play on Steam Deck we'd love to hear what you think after playing over on Discord!

Happy Halloween, chefs!
