Cuteness and cannibalism, can that fit together? The makers of Cannibal Cuisine are obviously of the opinion – yes, of course! The game will be released on May 20, 2020 on Steam, where it previously ran in an open beta.
Inspired or copied by overcooked?
In Cannibal Cuisine you collect various ingredients such as fruit, vegetables or tourists. You can conjure up spectacular dishes either alone or in co-operation with up to four friends. So far, so overcooked.
Thanks to the cute comic look, the whole thing looks quite similar to the popular intellectual predecessor. The developers from the indie studio Rocket Vulture admit that quite bluntly, for example in the comments below their YouTube videos. They see their work as a winking homage.
But they also clarify differences: Thanks to the brutal topic, there is only an FSK approval from 16 years. Cannibal Cuisine is aimed at older players who are looking for macabre party fun with friends, so it has an older target group than Overcooked.
