One day consists of multiple shifts, and in between these shifts, you can choose one of three possible upgrades that will influence the difficulty of the dishes you’ll get to prepare for the rest of the day. The more difficult the chosen upgrade (for example, playing the rest of the day with three ingredients upgraded to the maximum difficulty), the more XP you earn for that location. Leveling up a location will also increase the difficulty of the QTE sequences needed to cook the dishes available at that location, which in turn will also gradually tighten the reaction times, making it harder for the player to successfully complete one day.

It fails so severely as a cooking game I don't even know what I am cooking 99% of the time because the only thing I am looking at is the bottom 2 inches of the screen for what buttons to mash.

Along the way you'll earn stickers for completing tasks and challenges. Check out your Cookbook to view your growing sticker collection, and hey, maybe your inner completionist will want to collect them all?

As we finish up console certification we have a number of improvements we're bringing over, nothing major, just another round of polishing. Enjoy!

I'm going to compile all of the other suggestion topics into this COOK SERVE FOREVER Gameplay thread. As this game is currently in Early Access, many features are missing and still being tweaked -- and that's where you come in!

The game offers a vibrant culinary journey filled with hundreds of ingredients, recipes, and a diverse cast throughout its story-rich campaign.

During the testing process, we found players became obsessed with collecting all the stickers, so we created a cookbook to show off your progress.

It's not a matter of polish or story. The story is certainly interesting but I am certainly not interested in reading a graphic novel with several hours of cooking related quick time events.

The game also includes over two hours of original music by award winning composer Jonathan Geer. The soundtrack hooks into the game’s narrative in some interesting ways.

For instance, your partner Brie is a musician, and throughout the game you get to hear her composing a song, with the song growing and changing throughout the story. Jonathan was adamant on using a range of real instruments for Cook Serve Forever

I think in the end we got there and made a fantastic game, but the development cycle was one of the most difficult I've ever had personally and I want to say thanks to those who left positive reviews and feedback on Steam and Discord/Reddit.
