Not satisfied enough by creating the chilled beekeeping sim APICO, and their plans for frog-breeding in Mudborne, TNgineers recently announced Snacktorio, a factory-cooking simulator where you must satisfy the appetites of unspeakable horrors.
"Snacktorio is a factory-cooking simulator where you must satisfy the appetites of unspeakable horrors... with food! Build and manage sprawling networks of machines & pipes to mass produce delicious meals that can satiate the endless hunger of the beasts that are invading your home. Order Up!
As one of the remaining chefs in your tribe, the responsibility of maintaining the balance with the monsters through the tasty medium of food has fallen on your grubby lil hands. Can you turn the tide on the ever growing threat of invasion, and also maybe get a nice 5-star review on Just ConsumeTM?"
- Factory simulation in a 2D platforming setting
- Explore and mine for ores, resources, and spices
- Mass-produce food through automated cooking machines
- Take & fufill orders from all sorts of insatiable hangry beasts
- Build and manage networks of pipes to get ingredients where they need to be
- Experience all the stress of managing a restaurant without any of the pay!
Speaking about why they decided to create it they said they wanted to make something satisfyingly complex without using the "same tired sci-fi theme for the genre, and dive into how different recipes could be made in interesting ways when using an RPG-esque setting". Certainly seems like an interesting idea, and a nice twist on the factory-building and crafting genre.
A demo is coming at some point soon to itch.io and Steam so give it a follow.
