The value story

The value story

37 discounts in the 4 years on record, a median of 66 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 2 percent. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. The nearest things to it, Coffee Caravan ($11.99, scores 75) and Party Club ($4.99, scores 32), are both worse buys on this math.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Raising the score
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones. Scored as 94% after the small-sample adjustment
Reach1.5M+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
For context
Refunds17 of 800 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

It would be fun and chaos with friends! Upto 4 players can be played locally at once. A good sober party game

Having worked in kitchens before, this is the best game I've found that simulates kitchen teamwork. If you've played the popular game "Overcooked" and thought "I wish the kitchens weren't so wacky, unrealistic, and unreliable, so we could actually maintain a system within the team", then this game is for you. Players can actually assume meaningful roles within the kitchen/dining room if they want, and it works well...

Just so very good. Friend-Slop from before it was cool. Great updates and easy to onboard new players. Tons of fun 10/10.
