It took me a couple of attempts to finally get into this game, but it really floored me and I couldn't stop thinking about it days later. Makes me excited to play their other game! People have compared this game to DDLC, but I would disagree. Though they both are advertised as 'cute and unassuming,' DDLC leans into breaking the 4th wall and scatters a bunch of hints/lore throughout, while Cooking Companions really builds on an in-universe story and looming sense of dread over jumpscares/shock value . I found Cooking Companions more creepy though; everything about the basement was so unnerving and I thank god every day that there were no jump scares there . I did enjoy both games like many others, so its safe to say that you would like this if you enjoyed DDLC. (I def got more emotionally attached to CC though.) My only gripe with this game is that your decisions will always lead you down the same path (Karin basement scene). There is no happy ending for (all of) the campers, but I guess that's the sad reality of the illusion of choice . Definitely recommend though: bunch of additional modes, easy to 100% achievements, music is BOMB, and there's a lot more to it than what meets the eye.

Game play wise, this is a lot like Doki Doki Literature Club, you can tell just by looking at it. If you like that game then you'll like this one too. It doesn't take as long as DDLC to get into the horror and has multiple endings and a lot of unlockables. The horror is great as well with a lot of creppy images and moments and backstory.

Quite enjoying the dichotomy of a dating sim and psychological horror! Has great replay quality and I haven't gotten all the endings yet!
