Press release:
Sous Raccoon 1.0 is out now on Steam. Novice Flow’s adorably hardcore cooking roguelite just left Early Access with Endless Mode, a final boss, a brand new bar with three minigames, 13 new skins and online co-op for up to four raccoons.

Chef still hasn’t fired the raccoon. Give him time.

You’re Elmo, a raccoon thief turned sous chef, working for a Chef with a very short fuse. Cook the orders, serve the customers and keep the monsters off them long enough to finish the shift. Drop the ball and Chef fires you. Every run changes the restaurant, the upgrades and the kind of chaos walking through the door.

What’s new in 1.0

The Sous Raccoon cast and Chef

Endless Mode: keep the restaurant open for as long as you can take it. Every day brings more customers and more monsters. When the run ends you get a score summary and a spot on the Steam Leaderboards, so you can settle who really runs the better kitchen.
The final boss: kept under wraps the whole way through Early Access. It’s waiting at Stage 4. That’s all we’re saying.
The bar: a new bar in the Lobby with three minigames, solo or in co-op. Mix Food, Tower Stack and Barrel Blast each have their own leaderboard and save your best.
13 new skins: 21 in total, and some of them only unlock through Steam Achievements.
Your own room: buy furniture and swap styles and colors, with a preview before you spend. In co-op every raccoon keeps their own room.
A new soundtrack: music for every stage that shifts with the mood in the restaurant, from easy service all the way to the moment Chef loses it.
Controller and co-op polish: menus on the D-pad or stick, Steam On-Screen Keyboard support, a new co-op tutorial and a long list of fixes from Early Access players.

The new bar in the Lobby

Online co-op

Online co-op takes up to four raccoons into the same kitchen. Split the cooking, split the fighting, and argue about whose fault it was when the customers got eaten.

About the game

Sous Raccoon is an adorably hardcore cooking roguelite set across four restaurant worlds, each with its own enemies, hazards and kitchen layout. Earn upgrades and abilities between shifts, build a run that can handle the next rush, and prove to Chef that hiring a raccoon wasn’t a terrible mistake.
