- Action roguelike combining Hades with Dave the Diver adds new weapons and events - 29 January 2025
If you're after a roguelike that's a little less intense than the likes of Hades 2, cozy cooking-themed dungeon crawler Cuisineer is a delightful option. It combines isometric ARPG dungeon crawling with a restaurant management side reminiscent of Overcooked. Having already seen success on Steam, the indie game has now made its way to consoles - and alongside that launch, the PC version is getting a generous helping of new features including more weapons, events, and quality-of-life upgrades.

- Cuisineer (PlayStation 5) Review - 27 January 2025
Like most of the cozy games I find, Cuisineer randomly appeared on my YouTube front page whereupon I immediately sent it to CGM’s Dayna Eileen because it looked adorable. But I’ve been on a bit of a cozy kick lately—spending the better part of December playing Harvest Moon 64 and Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town —so I was looking forward to something genuinely new. Cuisineer surprised me in a lot of ways. At first glance, I had assumed it would be a fairly simple experience. But it has such a unique sense of personality and such a satisfying gameplay loop that every time I sat down to play it, I would get lost in it for hours. In Cuisineer, players take on the role of Pom—a young adventurer who, after returning to her hometown, finds she’s been left the run-down remains of her parents’ once-prosperous restaurant. After her friend, Biscotti, reminds her that the restaurant was a…

Hello adventurers! Hope you're all having a lovely day~ This is a small update for two bugs that we've found! There was a bug where players would fall through the ground, the chances of it happens has been greatly reduced! Hopefully it does not happen anymore!

- 1.07 Patch Updates! - 26 February 2024
Hello Adventurers! Amongst other things, we did a bit of balancing this month to make your experience more enjoyable. Hope you enjoy this month’s patch updates! UPDATED LOOT DROPS Potchers now have a chance of dropping gear. Loot drops are now fixed so that there is a chance all weapon types are dropped. Loot drops have been re-balanced so that there is a chance higher-tier mods are dropped (it is now possible to find gear with tier 3 mods)! As players proceed deeper into the dungeon, there is a higher chance of higher-tier mods being dropped (boss chests have the highest chance). BUBBLE TEA EFFECTS INCREASED Effects for the following Bubble Tea (and their upgraded versions) have been boosted to be more powerful in healing and/or damage: Berry Fruit Tea, Masala Chai, Leafy Matcha Tea, Sparkling Bubble Tea, Brown Sugar Sea Salt Milk Tea and Lemon Bubble Tea.

- v1.06 Patch Updates! - 31 January 2024
Hello Adventurers! It has been a month since the year has started and we’re back with a small patch update! GREATER NOBLES PAY THEIR DUES The Mayor of Paell has decreed that all customers have to pay for what they have eaten, even if their entire order has not been served. In the past, greater nobles ordering two dishes but only eating one would leave the restaurant without paying for anything if the restaurant was closing. Now, they will pay for dishes they have eaten, even if they were not served the other. NPC SPAWN POINTS We’ve made quest NPCs spawn more regularly so it’s easier for players to find them and complete their quests! FONT FIX FOR CHINESE AND JAPANESE LANGUAGES Fixed bug where text would display in the smallest possible font size (which was most obvious in the Journal Townsfolk description). SOFTLOCK IN DUNGEON A bug occurred where if the player died beside the dungeon's…
