Chef: A Restaurant Tycoon is a cooking sim that experiments with complex flavors

Culinary games like Ghost Town Games’ hectic co-op title Overcooked and Vertigo Gaming’s Cook, Serve, Delicious! series focus heavily on the timed element of the kitchen. Players must slice, sear, and serve up accurate dishes before orders expire. Innervoid Interactive’s Chef: A Restaurant Tycoon adds another flavor to the mix, enabling players to create their own recipes and test them out on diners. The game will arrive in Early Access on PC later this year.

Innervoid Interactive’s CEO Fabio Luigi Distefano says that the team has plenty of foodies, as well as a love for “deep, modern tycoon games.”
