Head Chef PlaytestEventsv1.0.4-alpha
Game update

v1.0.4-alpha

Head Chef Playtest · published 4 Jul 2026, 12:59 UTC

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

New

  • 3–4 player brigade — play with up to 4 chefs
  • Guests — diners walk in and out and react with sentiment-based comments and satisfaction icons.
  • First MacOS version.
  • Added support for Steam Remote Play Together

Improvements

  • Richer NPC life: ambient idles (pan-polish, knife-sharpen, pastry display-peek), reactions (thumbs-up, disappointment), and smoother cook/waiter animations.
  • Input: full key rebinding, shared-keyboard 2-player defaults, WASD/ZQSD support, and mouse usable in multiplayer menus.
  • Expanded localization (pt-BR, pt-PT, fr, updated strings) and a diagnostics reporter for playtests.

Fixes

  • Fixed cooks stalling at the fridge, delivery deadlocks, and empty soup-tray deliveries.
  • Numerous navigation, popup, and controller-settings stability fixes.
  • Fixed the controls menu closing the key-rebind prompt when it was opened with Enter instead of a mouse click.
