New Meat

New Meat is a fast-paced horror-comedy roguelite about burgers, monsters and dead-end jobs. You play as Niko, a new hire at Burger Site, a remote burger establishment. To keep the freezers stocked for hungry customers, you head into the sprawling flesh-dungeon beneath the building and blast its roaming monsters into meat, while trying not to get bitten.

Five days at Burger Site

You have five days of mayhem to earn a permanent job, and possibly more if you perform well. Each day lets you build your stats further, but Day Five is the cutoff: after it, the game judges your progress and you start the week again. Death does not end the run; whether you succeed or fail, you remain on track for one of the many endings, with things to see and learn in both outcomes.

Builds and stats

New Meat has 120 equipment pieces, 36 legendary weapons and 50 magic curios that can change how a run plays. A stat progression system lets you shape Niko’s growth. Stats matter both in combat and while exploring the dungeon: Attack helps break open barrels and chests, Defense reduces damage from hazards, Agility gives you a chance to dodge them, and higher Luck brings more and better chest loot.

Stories and endings

The game tracks your progress and judges how your first week on the job goes, with 12 endings, including some in which you survive. Its “Triple-Take Dialogue System” varies cutscenes across playthroughs, supporting replayability. The Meat Dungeon also contains secrets to find.
