About

Step into the witching hour with Creature Kitchen, an atmospheric cooking simulator that blends cozy vibes with a touch of the eerie. In this bite-sized experience, you'll explore a mysterious house, scavenge for ingredients, and prepare over 40 unique recipes to satisfy the cravings of local cryptids and wildlife.

Story

While there is no heavy narrative, the setting tells a story of its own. Alone in a strange house surrounded by a whispering forest, you take on the role of a caretaker for the unseen. Through the universal language of food, you build silent bonds with the creatures lurking in the shadows.

Gameplay

Played from a first-person perspective, gameplay focuses on exploration and tactile cooking mechanics. You'll search the house to expand your culinary arsenal, manage ingredients, and physically feed creatures—sometimes directly from your hand. The experience is accompanied by an in-game radio and a camera to document your strange guests.
