Hello all skillful hot pot cooks. We're glad to introduce new innovative game mode "Abnormality mode" you can play on the full release. In abnormality mode, as the name suggests, abnormal situations occur periodically. Don't worry, the abnormality won't happen right away. First, the next abnormality that will occur will be announced, so prepare for it as much as possible. Every time you put an ingredient in, the countdown continues, and when it hits 0, an abnormality will occur. Currently, over 20 abnormalities listed. Some abnormalities are beneficial, while others are destructive. Depending on the player's strategy, they can even be a turning point. Here are some examples: ・A volcano. ・Money will fall from the sky. ・The pot will tilt. ・The ingredients will become more fresh. It will be a while before the game is full released. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
