Spookitchen · published

Hello, this is YNOT! 👋
The Spookitchen playtest is currently ongoing, and we’ve rolled out a mid-playtest patch focusing on balancing and polishing.

Thanks to your support during this playtest, Spookitchen has surpassed 6,000 wishlists! Thank you so much.

🧩 Changes

  • Overall balance adjustments, including removal of the wheat field and addition of a farm

  • Simplified tutorial and in-game explanations

  • Updated dialogue, cutscenes, and Ghosta

  • Added a MAX quantity button when purchasing items

  • Dishes can now be delivered using only additional tags (without default tags)

  • Recipe puzzles can now be completed using only required ingredients

  • Customers will no longer dislike dishes they requested, even if they include tags they normally dislike

  • Item research is now limited to ingredients (other items are automatically researched upon acquisition)

  • Added store opening indicator to the clock

  • Recipe numbering now follows UI order instead of unique IDs

  • Fixed errors related to fishing and inventory

💬 Developer Comment

  • We’ve adjusted the overall pacing of the demo and simplified the amount of explanations. Additionally, we replaced the wheat field with a farm to better showcase gameplay early on, which required significant balance adjustments.

⚠️ Notice

  • Save data from previous versions will not be compatible with version 0.14.0. Due to the extensive balance and data changes, maintaining save compatibility for the demo is difficult. We appreciate your understanding.

  • This playtest will run longer than before, and the exact end date is yet to be determined. We will announce the closing date in a future notice.

Thank you sincerely for playing and supporting Spookitchen!
We’ll continue working hard to bring you an even better ghost restaurant experience. 👻
