❤ Customizable Cafe Layout and Menu

Players can fully customize the layout of their cafe, arranging counters, appliances, and workstations to streamline the cooking process. The game also allows players to curate their menu, experimenting with over 90 unique recipes and tailoring their offerings to their desired cafe concept or customer preferences.

❤ Necromantic Automation

A key gameplay mechanic is the ability to summon and program undead minions to assist in running the cafe. Players can record actions for their skeletal chefs and servers, automating repetitive tasks and freeing themselves up to focus on higher-level strategy and management. This "necromantic automation" allows for a flexible playstyle, where players can choose to handle everything themselves or delegate tasks to their undead workforce.

❤ Challenging Recipe Discovery

Discovering and mastering new recipes is a core loop of the gameplay. The game presents players with a multitude of complex, multi-step recipes to uncover through experimentation in the test kitchen. While the recipe descriptions can be challenging to decipher at times, the satisfaction of finally cracking a difficult dish and adding it to the menu is a significant source of enjoyment.

❤ Cooperative Play

The game supports local cooperative play for up to 4 players. The fast-paced, chaotic nature of the cooking gameplay lends itself well to coordinated, team-based play, with players working together to manage the workflow, harvest ingredients, and serve customers. The game's couch co-op focus allows for a social, shared experience that many players have praised.

❤ Emergent Gameplay and Dark Humor

Underlying the core cooking and management mechanics is a layer of dark humor and unexpected gameplay opportunities. Players can choose to secretly "harvest" their customers for ingredients, disposing of bodies and using the souls of the dead to summon more undead minions. This macabre twist on the genre adds an element of strategy and risk-reward decision making that many players have found engaging and unique.
