About the game
Epic Chef is a narrative adventure with a dash of farming life-sim and crafting, blended into one delicious dish. Play as Zest and farm, craft and cook your way to the top in Ambrosia, the culinary capital of the world. A dynamic recipe system lets you experiment with thousands of ingredient combinations, face rival chefs in epic culinary battles, master the flavour arts, and tend a quirky mix of livestock — from cows to unicorns — around your run-down (and slightly haunted) villa.
The assignment
Create a complete story-driven adventure that combines cooking, farming and crafting through an original recipe system, in partnership with a major independent publisher, and release it on PC and every current console.
