Cook
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
You just graduated from cooking school, and want to start a cooking business. Great! What's not great? In this world, the food is conscious! Cooking is strictly illegal and categorized with MURDER. But the pay was enticing, and the food, delicious! You sacrificed your morality to make meals requested by the rich, ravenous customers. But beware! The police definitely do not agree with you! Sacrifice too many vegetables, make too much money, get too popular, and they will catch you and stop your nefarious money-making scheme. How long can you survive as a cook in this alternate reality? Only time will tell!
Cook was created for Ludum Dare 43. The theme was "Sacrifices must be made."
This game contains flashing images, loud noises, and imagery that more sensitive audiences may find disturbing. You have been warned.

It's suuuuper finnicky - any typos and/or different punctuation will make it fail. Plus, it might just straight up not work anyway. This is a jam game after all. Sorry if you can't get it to work!
Hey! Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked it, and I'm glad you've confirmed that I created the right effect with the twist! I have a couple of ideas for improving the game and posting a post-jam version, but it's supposed to be a sort of video game short story, creepy pasta style.
I've made some pretty major changes and fixed some of the issues you ran into, so if you're still interested, by all means, play the new version. The ending is way better, the typo issues are gone, and you can now press enter (sorry!)
I'm glad you were able to resolve some of it! I really think you have something here and I hope to see something even bigger and grander from you in the future.
