One-armed cook Cooking with one arm and four friends

Every cook gets a single arm, and that is the whole joke. Grabbing a pan means letting go of the plate. Chopping an onion means putting down the bun. You take orders, follow simple recipes (the recipe book is there when doubt sets in), and serve a long list of different dishes to customers who keep arriving. The controls are deliberately awkward, so a basic task like stacking a sausage on a bun turns into a small negotiation with gravity. It is easy to learn and hard to master, and somehow, with everything on the floor, the food still goes out.

The physics do not care about your plan. Ingredients slide off counters, dishes bounce like springs, and a misplaced grab can launch half your prep across the room. Dropped food attracts rats, and the rats act like they run the place. There is a fire extinguisher for when the stove gets out of hand, though leaning on it has consequences of its own.

Two cooks means two arms between you, and four means a functioning restaurant, in theory. In practice, co-op turns the chaos up: someone drops the order, someone else knocks over the ingredients, and a friend trying to help is often the reason the kitchen is on fire. Coordination and timing matter more than complex systems, and the shouting starts early. It works solo too, and the game lets you set your own pace, but this is a game built for a lobby and a voice chat, best enjoyed with friends along for the mess.
