The kitchen doors are open — our first public Playtest is live!

Global Plates is a cozy automation-puzzle game about building conveyor kitchens that cook the world's dishes. Starting today you can play the first slice of it: the Playtest includes the tutorial plus two full levels — discover each recipe, fix the flow, and keep every ingredient fresh on its journey to the plate.

How to join

  1. Open the Global Plates store page and click Request Access in the Playtest box.
  2. We approve testers in waves — Steam will notify you the moment you're in.
  3. The Playtest then appears in your Library as a free install.

What we're looking for


This is an early build, and your first impressions are exactly what we need: What confused you? Where did your flow jam up? Did the freshness pressure make the puzzle click? Tell us in the community discussions — we read everything.

And if you enjoy it, adding Global Plates to your wishlist genuinely helps us more than anything else.

Thank you for cooking with us!
