The Absentminded Chef
It's time to make dinner! Unfortunately, a key ingredient is missing. Look around to see if you can find an appropriate substitute. If you're feeling particularly creative, you can substitute multiple foods at once for a fun combination. If you're feeling particularly desperate, you can use something that isn't food at all! And if you're feeling both creative and desperate, you can combine a non-food item with one or more foods for a substitution. Substitutions are the main thing, but feel free to throw in extra ingredients that might make the recipe even better! (Note: items are added as "extras" by default; you'll need to specifically mark what item(s) you want to use as a substitution.)
Bugs/Issues:
- Some of the accessibility audio might be missing
- The game might crash when you unlock an achievement - the issue happens intermittently so I haven't been able to fix it. If you do encounter this bug, just restart the game.
- Please report any other bugs you find, as I'm not aware of them.
Accessibility: voice accessibility mode (read items on mouseover) is off by default. You can turn this on in the settings.
Controls: mouse. I wanted to make this work with keyboard/controller as well, but ran out of time. You can still use keyboard/controller in the menus (start menu, settings) if you like.
