England, 1193.
The kingdom is in disarray as Prince John Lackland and his high-maintenance, mood-swinging family rule the land.
As the new royal cook, your goal is to keep Prince John's family happy and well-fed. You literally cook for your life: lose their respect, you’ll be hanged, serve them on a bad day, you’ll be hanged.
Your only hope lies in the return of King Richard and Robin Hood and his Merry Folk seem to believe YOU might be the key to putting him back on England’s throne.
Will you steal from the rich to give to the poor… or take from the poor to feed the rich?
Cut, pour, whisk, mix, tease the fire. Precision and focus are your allies to create mouth-watering recipes through fun mini-games. Cook a different exquisite meal every day, the royals do deserve the best after all...
Meet the new royal family, the ones who decide if you live or die. Whether it’s fair or not is irrelevant, they will ask for your head on a pike if they are in a bad mood or if you lose their respect.
Encounter the figures from the Robin Hood legend, learn their stories, and choose whether, or not, to support the Merry Folks' rebellion against the 1%.
As a newcomer, people don’t know you well, but they need your help to tend to their business. Be careful who you give a hand to, the new royals taking over the throne did not over well with everyone.
Time is a finite resource. Collect the ingredients you need take time out of your day, so be careful where you spend it!
Ensure the castle pantry stays stocked with fresh and delicious products. You may lack a key ingredient for dinner if you don’t.
