Creature Kitchen

I played Creature Kitchen at the beginning of April, but I’m still thinking about it a few weeks later. It just made me feel things. I felt safe but also challenged, surprised but also content. I loved making real dinner for my real-life creatures and then cozying up with my Steam Deck and making spooky dinner for my spooky creatures. I have never played another game like this, one that so perfectly balances both cozy and creepy. Because it’s so good, I do wish it were a bit longer. I’m not usually a big fan of achievement hunting, but perhaps I’ll give it a go as an excuse to spend more time at my spooky cabin. Even though I know how it all ends (and it does stick to the landing), I might return. I’m always a bit hungry, after all.

Creature Kitchen is not a very long game, only lasting at most five hours, but I think it really is a quality time that has enough positives to make it worth the price of admission. The atmosphere is top notch and the amount of charm and personality coming from the creatures is very compelling.
