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.
