Food Wagon Build 20699741 - early access

You are Lanya, the daughter of a retired hero running a family restaurant-until a strange light whisks you to a cursed world where cooking has been forbidden. Immune to the gods’ curse, you become the only chef able to bring flavor back to a land that has forgotten it. Show the people new tastes, reclaim the freedom of cooking, and set out to uncover the secrets that might lead you home.

Explore fields full of unique monsters to hunt for ingredients, and gather resources through logging and mining. Battles grant temporary "Gifts" that boost your power during an expedition but vanish when you return; the materials you bring back, however, can be invested to upgrade weapons and crafting. Short expeditions and steady, small victories let you grow stronger and push deeper into the world.

Cook at camps scattered across the land: choose ingredients freely to create recipes and craft snacks before or during expeditions. Lanya has a limited appetite-manage Fullness carefully-yet snacks provide various buffs, and special finds can grant unique effects. When an outing ends, use leftover ingredients to prepare meals for villagers-grill steaks, roast skewers, simmer soups-and earn money that fuels your next journey.

Face the guardians who protect the gods of taste, confront the gods themselves, and reveal why flavor was stolen from this world. Reclaim the joy of cooking and follow Lanya’s path toward restoring taste and finding a way back home.
