About the Game

A chaotic co-op cooking game set in a space restaurant! Work together with up to 4 players to serve cosmic cuisine as fast as possible…Wait— is there a traitor among you?!

Work together to serve space cuisine within the time limit.

If you are chosen as a Chef, your mission is to prepare and serve dishes according to each customer’s order before time runs out. Space cooking comes with its own unique and complex techniques. There’s a lot to manage!
The kitchen is a battlefield where a single mistake can be fatal. Work together with your teammates and rush through the chaos.
Can you impress the gourmets from distant planets?

A traitor plotting poison?!

In the already hectic kitchen, one chef seems to be acting… suspiciously. It appears that an alien known as the “Mimic” has infiltrated the team in disguise. The Mimic’s goal is to poison customers and use their bodies as hosts.
This is the survival strategy of the otherwise fragile Mimic.
If you are chosen as the Mimic, secretly slip poison into the dishes without being discovered by the other chefs.

The key is to create confusion—and find a moment to be alone.

Exile the traitor!

If a customer is poisoned, call a Kitchen Meeting to identify the Mimic. During the meeting, players discuss who might be the disguised Mimic and vote to exile one person. To uncover the Mimic, you must stay alert while cooking and watch for suspicious behavior.

Be careful not to wrongly exile an innocent chef. …Maybe they were just bad at cooking.

What will become of the space restaurant…?

A frantic kitchen filled with constant movement—and hidden malice lurking within. Let the psychological battle begin between the chefs who want to serve perfect space cuisine and the Mimic plotting poison.
The kitchen echoes with shouted instructions—and accusations!
Is that dead weight really a chef… or something else?
