Kebabstar

Kebabstar follows a kebab seller who becomes a secret agent after the Ice Cream Cult destroys his business and takes his camel. A tracker on the camel leads him to Cyprus, where he hunts the cult and the tech company funding it. Along the way, he works his way from the streets into the wealthy circles behind the conspiracy, using cooking and charm to get close before turning to guns.

Grill by day

You run a kebab stand, prepare food and hone your craft. The cooking involves gripping a knife, holding a pan and mixing ingredients, with inverse kinematics used to make the character’s hands move like your own. You also compete with street rivals, undercut them and try to go viral and get rich.

Infiltrate by night

After the cult burns down your stand and ships your camel to its island, you find a pair of glasses with an AI that knows your name and where the camel is. It offers you a proposition. You follow the signal into the cult’s world, attending penthouse parties and using conversation and charm to get closer to its members before taking off the apron and fighting.

The cast

The glasses’ AI is sarcastic and relentless, and considers itself technically on your side. The Blind Man sees the whole conspiracy but refuses to explain it in a useful order. The Ice Cream Cult is wealthy, smiling and convinced it is doing the right thing; some of your rivals now answer to it.

Regions and missions

The story moves through four regions, each with its own missions, characters and clues to the conspiracy:

• Arabia: where you lose everything and find the glasses.
• Istanbul: the Grand Bazaar, with crowds, customers and a message.
• Dubai: a beach and the money behind the cult.
• Cyprus: the island where you track down the cult.
