A stealthily released "chaotic roguelike" game reminiscent of genre leader Balatro has been garnering 100% positive reviews on Steam, and its free demo substantiates its appeal.
In the world of indie gaming, one title has been making waves and turning heads – "Omelet You Cook". This cozy, chaotic cooking roguelike, developed by Dan Schumacher, has been garnering attention and positive user reviews since its early access release in the summer of 2023.
The game tasks players with preparing omelets by slotting various ingredients for higher scores. Each round comes with its own twists and special conditions, ensuring no two runs are the same. Between rounds, players can buy and add new ingredients to their pantry, each with unique effects.
In "Omelet You Cook", a coconut will earn you 20 points, but take one point away for each other ingredient on the plate. A bell pepper, when placed next to meats, gives extra points. The game's unique gameplay, inspired by Balatro, Luck be a Landlord, and the Neopets Giant Omelet, has been the driving force behind its success.
Initially, "Omelet You Cook" did not make a significant impact, but in recent months, it has gained popularity. The game is currently available for free on Steam and boasts a 100% rating based on almost 400 user reviews. Dan Schumacher himself has mentioned the game on Reddit, further fueling its rise in the gaming community.
For those who dislike pineapple on pizza, they might find "Omelet You Cook" challenging due to its ingredient combinations. But for those who enjoy a good mix of strategy and chaos, this indie game is one of several upcoming titles of 2025 to watch out for.
