Out of Early Access!

The time has come, Chef has finally left the Early Access! It has been a wonderful journey, during which we had the chance to meet some many awesome people from all around the world. Your feedbacks and support had been invaluable for us, and allowed us to work with passion and motivation in the last 18 months.

But the journey is not over! While Chef is ready for its full release, we are definitely unwilling to abandon it. There are already plans for future updates, both in terms of contents and features, and we are eager to welcome all the newcomer chefs that will join our brigade in the next weeks!

As always, you can find us on the Steam Forums, or on our Discord channel!
