"Welcome to Cooking with Violet! Listen, we'll make it this time, I promise. It's a basic stew, how hard can it be? The recipe looks so plain I'm tempted to add a few more ingredients just to spice things up".

Story: it's cooking time! Violet hasn't been too lucky with her culinary exploits lately, not really. Pots blowing up, houses burning down, chthonic interdimensional beings rampaging in the oven... that kind of stuff. 

People asked, people begged Violet to stop risking it altogether, or at least consult with a chef's cookbook first, and... she actually complied! But not before introducing a few tiny changes into the recipe. Cooking is art, and all art requires courage!

***

  • Keep your cooking pot stable and balanced!  
  • Add new ingredients to enhance the taste!
  • Avoid overusing any one particular element!
  • Complete your dish in just two hellish minutes!

***

Controls: mouse only. Drag-n-drop ingredients from their containers and beds into the pot, and watch the indicator telling you how much FiberProteinTentacle (yep), Fur and Chitin you currently have. 

The pot burns different components at different speeds, so you will have to regularly add new ingredients to keep it stable, and the more ingredients you throw in there, the easier it will become to manage the balance. Don't let any one element pass the 50% mark, but if worse comes to worst, open the cookbook and hit reset in the settings tab.     

Check out additional hints by reading tutorial in-game.    
You actually cannot miss it this time, we built it into the narrative itself <( ̄︶ ̄)>

Hello I am also unable to even start the game, it seems to get stuck on the cookbook that you are forced to click on since everything else is greyed out. I have clicked everywhere on the screen to try and move forward. It seems like if you do not click in whatever specific spot it's looking for it will glitch out. the settings tab cannot be accessed if you click anywhere else on the screen first. What am I doing wrong?

The game looks really pretty but if only I could play :( I can't figure out how to leave the cookbook and it doesn't let me drag or click anything but the cookbook. The setting bookmark doesn't work for me either.

I need the music clip separately, it stuck in my head. Cound'n find it on Elvendan's SoundCloud, so I came back here

Hi! I uploaded it on SoundCloud now. Thanks!

The game looks and sounds very nice, but gameplay sometimes can be frustrating due to unpredictable and fast pacing. 

I am slowpoke:)
It was hard too learn, but it is amazing game
