Made for the GMTK Game Jam 2025 !

⚠️ RECOMMENDED YOU PLAY IN FULLSCREEN ⚠️

You work as a... fast food(?) worker  in a mysterious establishment somewhere in the universe. You are observed by the chicken council as they conduct some kind of experiment on you. If you displease them, they will force you to be reborn.

The rebirth is a painful process, meant to be a punishment for being a bad cook. The councilmen hope that by renewing your mind and body, you will become a better chef.

Oh god, this is like if Mike Klubnika made a restaurant simulator. Great idea!

I understood the game a little better after failing the first time. Would be interesting to see a more polished version of this game after the jam.
