Feed the thing at the door. It might move in.

A creepy-cosy cooking game with a puzzle hiding beneath the dinner service.

Why it caught our eye

Something knocks at your cabin in the night. Work out what it eats, find the ingredients and cook for it. The fact that it then moves in is a lovely way to turn an unsettling visitor into company.

Creature Kitchen’s appeal is that mixture of warmth and unease, backed by first-person puzzles. Our feature picked out a short experience that left players wanting more. A good one to investigate if you like strange creatures more than you like being chased by them.
