About the Game

Welcome to Ominous Stew, the chaotic 1vs1 cooking battle game that pits legendary chefs against each other in fast-paced culinary duels! Dive into the chaos in Story Mode or challenge friends in Versus Mode.

In Ominous Stew, it's restaurant vs. restaurant in thrilling 3-7 minute rounds. Move swiftly between customers to cook and serve dishes, aiming to outscore your opponent and claim culinary supremacy.

Experience the freedom of cooking without recipes! Combine a variety of ingredients based on your customers' nutritional needs. Create unique dishes to earn points and prove your problem solving skills.

Unlock the full roster of chefs, each with their own restaurant and unique movement abilities. From simple Dashes to Table Riding - every character has a different playstyle with a learning curve.

Accumulate Foodji points by perfecting dishes, then unleash devastating attacks to sabotage your opponent. Strategic use of these powers can turn the tide of battle in your favor.

Follow Stewy's journey from novice to culinary legend. Overcome challenges, unlock characters, attacks, bonus levels, nutrients and ingredients. Enjoy humorous dialogues and adjustable difficulty settings.

Compete with friends in local splitscreen or online. Select your characters, attacks, and ingredient sets to prove who’s the top chef in head-to-head battles.
