Announced during the PC Gaming Show, Wonderbelly Games and Skystone Games revealed Arcane Eats, a flavorful twist on the roguelike deck-building genre. The game mixes arcane chaos with culinary charm, inviting players to step into the enchanted kitchen of a magical restaurant where every card drawn can change the outcome of an otherworldly dining experience.

In this imaginative adventure, players take on the role of chefs navigating a kitchen where spells, ancient ingredients, and demanding customers collide. With every turn, the challenge lies in crafting powerful meals using limited energy and juggling the cook times of various ingredients, all while enduring the whims of hungry adventurers and picky regulars.

The deck-building system allows for deep customization, encouraging players to build their own menus from hundreds of mystical ingredient cards, enchanted utensils, and culinary spellcraft. There are no fixed recipes here, creativity and strategy determine the success of each run. From drawing salt circles to performing Happy Hour rituals, each encounter feels like a high-stakes performance in a magical kitchen.

Beyond the stove, players must also manage the business side of their restaurant. Balancing customer satisfaction, managing cash flow, and dodging health inspectors becomes a tense game of its own. As players upgrade their kitchen and recruit magical staff, legendary chefs may drop by to evaluate their performance, offering a rare chance to earn a coveted Mythrill star.

Culinary guilds add even more flavor to the gameplay. Players can align with one of three distinct factions: the Hearth, known for hearty meals; the Grove, masters of elemental spices; or the meticulous Order, focused on preparation perfection. Each guild brings unique cards and strategic angles to explore, and for the boldest cooks, the forbidden pages of the Gastronomicon promise dark but powerful culinary secrets.

Every session offers a fresh experience, thanks to a rotating mix of cards, evolving customer personalities, random events, and unlockable upgrades. With each visit, players grow more familiar with the town’s eccentric diners, learning their preferences and unlocking new possibilities with each successful service.

From summoning demon patrons to ringing the ancient Dinner Bell, the game teases that the path to greatness—and perhaps danger, always runs through the stomach. With its imaginative setting, deep mechanics, and deliciously chaotic energy, this title offers a unique and unforgettable taste of roguelike innovation.
