And about impressing a pretend audience

Most cooking games have you following a specific recipe and being judged on your accuracy.Soup Potaims for something else. Announced during the recent ID@Xbox stream, it’s a cooking game in which you can follow the recipe, sure, or you can mess around and experiment.

Also, the Steam page notes that “items shout their names as they’re added to each dish”, and I am deeply into the idea of tipping a bowl of eggs into boiling water while they all shout “EGG! EGG! EEEGGGGG!”. Surely it’ll be horrifying, but the trailer is cute:

Ingredients yelling out their names is part of creating a playful atmosphere, alongside dough which “reacts when it’s punched” and and “eclectic soundtrack composed of food-themed tunes.”

There is, at least, no fail state, no matter how salty you make your omelette or how salty the commenters get.

Soup Pot is aiming for release in autumn this year, and will be availableon Steamand via Xbox Game Pass.
