Minimum on the Steam store: 1 GB of memory, 2GB Video RAM - will work with less, but wouldn't look too good., 502 MB of storage. Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux.
This game is about the hard life in the kitchen. In this unusual place many interests intertwine. But the only war between humans and cockroaches is truly epic and destructive.

What players say
An absolute blast, and a hilarious time with a couple of mates. It's a very silly and wacky game, that does unfortunately get old fairly quickly given it only has one map. But on the whole I definitely recommend giving it a shot, just make sure to bring along some friends.
Please team, upgrade it. As a cockroach A and D does nothing :( Needs content, great game for friends, had fun but with 1 hour nobody wants to play it.
