Death Kitchen

Death Kitchen is a co-op cooking horror game for 1–3 players. You cook and serve food to angry alien customers, who attack if you make mistakes or let them run out of patience. Meet the restaurant’s quota to move on to the next day; otherwise, the restaurant explodes. You can play solo or with up to two friends.

Cook and serve

At the start of each day, you choose to be a chef or a waiter. Chefs cook faster, while waiters interact with customers faster, and each role has tradeoffs. Coordination between the two roles is essential. Some kitchen stations use minigames, while others involve realistic cooking; overcooking can start a fire. You can buy upgrades and weapons in the shop.

You can leave the restaurant to collect ingredients at any time, but doing so may leave you overloaded with customers. Each alien customer is unique and unpredictable, and will attack if you serve the wrong order or fail to act before their patience runs out. You can defend yourself with weapons from the shop.

Co-op and survival

Online co-op supports 1–3 players. Proximity voice and text chat let teammates communicate during a shift, while lobby chat and direct messaging are available for coordinating before a game starts.

If a customer kills you, you become a ghost and can still help in the restaurant, but your friends cannot see or hear you. If the quota is met, your friends can revive you the next day. If everyone dies, the game ends.

Planets and ingredients

The game features multiple planets, each with its own traits and ingredients. Some planets are unstable, while others require you to climb a mountain to gather ingredients.
