Players Like...

❤ Collaborative Cooking and Social Deduction

In this game, players work together to gather ingredients from dungeons and assemble the perfect hotpot dish. However, one player may secretly be a "Spy" tasked with sabotaging the group's efforts. This dynamic creates an engaging loop of collaboration and suspicion as players must navigate the delicate balance between trusting their teammates and protecting the final dish.

❤ Distinct Yet Interrelated Objectives

The game features a dual-faction structure, with the "Staff" aiming to collect the right ingredients and use special charms to create a high-scoring hotpot, while the "Spy" tries to slip in forbidden items that will ruin the dish. This setup encourages a constant back-and-forth as players attempt to further their own goals while uncovering the Spy's true identity.

❤ Flexible Player Counts and CPU Support

The game can accommodate up to four human players, but it also features CPU companions to fill out the party. This alleviates the common issue of finding enough players for social deduction games, allowing for a fulfilling experience regardless of group size.

❤ Seamless Narrative Integration

The game's plot, centered around a hotpot cooking competition, is woven seamlessly into the core gameplay. Players assume the roles of staff members at a hotpot shop, with the Spy's sabotage efforts tied directly to the overarching narrative. This integration helps to create a cohesive and immersive experience.

❤ Accessibility and Replayability

The inclusion of a Solo Mode and tutorial-focused CPU characters makes the game highly accessible, especially for newcomers to the social deduction genre. Additionally, the game's roguelike elements and randomized dungeon layouts ensure high replayability, as players encounter new challenges and strategic considerations with each playthrough.
