Game Overview
In Cuisineer, players take on the role of Pom, a passionate adventurer who rushes home after receiving a heart-wrenching letter from her parents. Upon returning to Paell, her hometown, Pom finds that her parents’ restaurant is abandoned, and it’s up to her to restore the eatery’s glory. Armed with her trusty spatula and boba tea, Pom explores various dungeons to collect ingredients, cook dishes, and serve her loyal customers.
The game features procedurally generated biomes, including forests, volcanoes, icy caves, and swamps, each offering new challenges with every visit. Players will master different flavor types, such as Salty, Sweet, and Umami, to defeat enemies with unique gourmet gear and utensils.
Pom’s quest also includes crafting over 100 recipes, taking on quests for the town’s residents, and customizing the restaurant with the help of local artisans.
