Cuisineer is a roguelite-flavored dungeon crawler where you explore a lush world and defeat monsters with your trusty spatula and some boba tea, then gather delicious ingredients and bring them home to cook and serve at your restaurant!

Welcome to the world of Cuisineer, a wholesome food-focused game where you play as Pom, a young adventurer turned restaurateur.

One day, you return to your hometown of Paell to manage your parents’ restaurant only to find it closed for business and deep in debt. The only way to pay your debt is to re-open the restaurant and make it thrive. And to do THAT you've got to go dungeon-delving!

Pursue adventure in the world outside Paell, wielding your cooking utensils against giant chickens, artillery shrimps, fire-breathing peppers, and other pesky perils, sipping boba tea along the way.

Collect ingredients from the land, then take them home to cook up a frenzy and grow your derelict eatery into a sensational restaurant that will make your parents proud. Just watch out for that lunch rush!

Marvelous alongside XSEED Games and BattleBrew Productions released a new trailer showcasing a variety of new features coming to Cuisineer.

Elevating its lauded recipe on PC, the beloved roguelite/restaurant sim now plates its enticing gameplay with fresh ingredients including a scrumptious new wardrobe feature, year-round festivals, and additional sizzling weapons and boosts that are sure to spice things up.
