They soon call out how badly the player character stinks.Īll should be fine, except that heavy rains flood the area. In the kitchen, talking vegetables called the Chompettes gather to cheer on the player character. He or she can make a mean cabbage roll with tomato sauce, as well as a vegetable stew. The player character hosts them, cooking every night. It seems that they are on vacation in the mountains, preparing to rough it out.

The theory is legit, but I am keeping my original analysis up. Note: After I wrote this article, Game Theory came up with an alternative analysis of the game, where they believe Cooking Companions is set in the 1930s and that Baba Yaga is involved. With that said, the visual novel is grabbing my attention, with the promise of no jump scares, just a hint of how human nature can break down when facing dire circumstances. I’m watching a 'let’s play' of Cooking Companions from my friend Melody Young because I sure as heck won’t play two horror games in one month. Cooking Companions does that not even bothering to pretend to be a cutesy harem visual romance novel. They manage to toe the line by making you laugh while pondering the more horrific implications. Others, however, lean into the ridiculous while building up a more gradual horror.

Horror games have to walk the line between real scares and some ridiculous B-level scenarios (less jumpscares, thanks).
