You know a game is a hit when a bundle of similar-but-different titles crop up shortly afterwards. Overcooked is one such example, with many indie games following in its footsteps, aiming to grab that same co-op loving crowd. Case in point: Cannibal Cuisine, which puts a rather dark twist on the formula.
In addition to some typical ingredients, this game's hook is its emphasis on chasing, killing, and cooking humans in order to feed your tribe's god, Hoochooboo. What that translates to is what looks like a pretty standard Overcooked clone with some (very) light combat and other hazards.
The subject matter might be grisly, but as you can see, it's all delivered with a light, comical tone, so it should still be a suitable game for the family to enjoy. It's playable solo or in a group of up to four, with plenty of co-op and competitive levels to master.
Cannibal Cuisine is scheduled to arrive on PlayStation 5 and PS4 on 25th January 2022, and will include the free expansion, Curse of the Scarab King. Will you be laying the table for this one? Please don't try this at home in the comments section below.

"Ok darling, now throw him in the fire....No, in the fire... IN THE FIRE!....BURN HIM!"

@Northern_munkey I understood every word of what you said, and that makes the sentences even more confusing. Please don't clarify yourself, In this case I'm pretty sure ignorance is a bliss.
@Integrity Bully Maguire is going to put some dirt in your eye if you're not careful.
@lolwhatno You have never heard of The Silence of the Lambs?
@Jayofmaya
Nope, but I googled it to not look like a fool. Now I know.Of course, I do! who am I, a degenerate?!
The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991 American psychological horror[3] film directed by Jonathan Demme and written by Ted Tally, adapted from Thomas Harris' 1988 novel. It stars Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling, a young FBI trainee who is hunting a serial killer, "Buffalo Bill" (Ted Levine), who skins his female victims. To catch him, she seeks the advice of the imprisoned Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer. The film also features performances from Scott Glenn, Anthony Heald and Kasi Lemmons.[4]
Edit: I even created a wikipedia article if you're interested.
Det. Thorn: Hatcher, get to the Exchange. You gotta tell them they're right.
Hatcher: But let's take care of you first.
Det. Thorn: You don't understand. I've got proof. They need proof, I've seen it. I've seen it happening. They've gotta tell people.
Hatcher: Tell them what?
Det. Thorn: The ocean's dying. Plankton's dying. It's people. Soylent Green is made out of people. They're making our food out of people. Next thing, they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!
Hatcher: I promise. Tiger. I promise. I'll tell the Exchange.
Det. Thorn: You tell everybody. Listen to me Hatcher! You've gotta tell 'em! SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE! We gotta stop them! Somehow!
Mmm... Pretty tasteless
@hi_drnick Even the characters in the thumbnail already look bored lol!
this got dark. but ok.
I don't necessarily agree with the following statement from the article, "The subject matter might be grisly, but as you can see, it's all delivered with a light, comical tone, so it should still be a suitable game for the family to enjoy."
I don't think I am ready to explain to my 6yo what cannibalism is, even if it is colorful.
@lolwhatno It's not bad, but it's missing much lotion, baskets and skin. It puts it all in, or else it gets the hose again.
