I never knew what was coming next, super duper fun and entertaining to play! A game you definitely have to play in the dark and alone because the artwork and gameplay is very unsettling, I loved finding new achievements and stories with each different route.

I love "cooking" with my "companions"! One of the most unique games I've played in the Visual Novel genre! It's such a different type of story compared to most other visual novels and I'm all for it. Ever since I played the Appetizer Edition, I fell in love with the game as the game's overall charm kept me wanting more of what it's offering. Please give this underrated gem a try! I bet they would be dying to try out today's menu . Rating : 9/10

Cooking Companions is a fun little horror VN you can easily finish in a night. While some of it's art can be quite rudimentary (Anatoly's sprite at the table comes to mind) and the scares primarily rely on scary faces, it's nonetheless enjoyable for it's short 2-3 hr runtime. I would advise getting this game on sale, as it's short with very little branching paths and mostly statics sprites except for the occasional gorgeously animated inbetweens. Despite that, I think the game has some merit to stand on as premise is quite unique for a visual novel and the dread is written very well. This is a game best gone in blind, as I had it spoiled to me slightly before heading in which really soured the experience as a whole but the premise is so firm in it's concept that it kept my attention the entire time and had my mind running rampant with questions. If you want a DDLC-like time than go for Cooking Companions. None of the scares were too scary but definitely dreadful and fun to experience. I'd love another VN with a similar premise as I wish it stewed on that initial dread slightly longer, no pun intended.

an...interesting game about cooking. i will leave it as that. it really is best to play this game blind. read the description seriously on the steam page and when you first play. if you've played doki doki literature club (ddlc), then you know what i am talking about summary - you and some travelers stumbled upon a cabin. to get situated, some look for materials and supplies while other chop wood. you are a chef that helps prepare and cook the meals. over time you get to talk and build relationships with other people in the cabin don't expect too long of a game. a few hours is just fine. and who knows - maybe the cooking companions were the friends we made along the way, along with our relationship with food
