Cooking Simulator will be available on Steam on June 6th!
The game's coming next week and we couldn't be more excited for the release.
The whole team has been working very hard every single day to deliver the best game possible for all of us to enjoy. In the recent months, thanks to your feedback and suggestions, there have been added some major improvements to the game. Below you can see the list of all the features.
COOKING MECHANICS BASED ON REALISTIC PHYSICS
First of all, this game is not a "clicker". Whenever you're cooking or fooling around, there's always physics applied in the background. When making french fries, the potatoes split exactly at the cut line. Steaks on the griddle fry exactly where they touch it's surface. Food can be blended and turned into liquid. Liquids can mix together, change colour, temperature and exchange flavours. In fact all the food exchanges flavour all the time in the process. The dishes you make are being rated based on correct technique, temperature, ingredient proportions and preparation time.
COOKING SCHOOL
It is basically a set of short tutorials. The game's got a learning curve and the mechanics need a tiny bit of time to get used to. The optional tutorials should make your start as painless as possible :)
CAREER MODE
You'll start your cooking career as a new chef in a restaurant that didn't perform so well in the past. After the first introductional days (don't worry, they're totally skippable!), you'll start serving dishes on your own. At first you'll have only 3 positions in the menu but as you progress, you'll be able to unlock new more advanced recipes. Your goal is to reach 5 Fame Stars. Once you reach top fame level, you can continue playing to unlock all the recipes and win all competitions or you can start a new career to see how well you'd do with other perks and skills selected.
CAREER PROGRESS
In order to progress, you'll need to do multiple tasks at once and deliver on time various well-made dishes. While climbing the culinary ladder, you'll need to mind your finances. Money allows you to buy ingredients and new utensils but it is also used to pay for necessary repairs of broken stands. For chefs who do well financially there's even an option to redecorate the kitchen! Well served guests will happily tip you but in case you really mess up, they might ask for a refund!
You'll also have to please food critics and complete day-long cooking events. Each day you can complete simple Daily Quests for some EXP boost. There are total 20 experience levels that allow you to select perks and skills. Perks are active abilities that have huge impact on the gameplay while skills have a more subtle passive influence.
Throughout the career you'll be able to unlock over 60 dishes and over 120 ingredients (products, liquids, spices and herbs).
SANDBOX MODE
For those of you who need instant access to all the good stuff, who don't like to be bothered by hungry customers or clocks ticking and for those of you who just want to goof around with absolutely no consequences we've got the Sandbox Mode. You can do virtually WHATEVER you want in this mode.
