Press release:
London, U.K. — 16 February, 2023.
Marvelous Europe and XSEED Games today announced that together they will be publishing the upcoming food-focused action roguelike, “Cuisineer“, on Windows PC via Steam in summer 2023.

Created by award-winning developer BattleBrew Productions, Cuisineer has already been served up critical acclaim as one of the BitSummit X-Roads 2022 Official Selections winner and as a PAX Together Pick at PAX East 2022.

“We’ve been cooking up Pom’s adventure by ourselves for a while, but we’re excited to have found supportive partners in XSEED Games and Marvelous Europe who feel as passionately about the game as we do and we can’t wait to be able to serve up Cuisineer to players around the world later this year!” – Said Shawn Toh, Co-Founder & CEO at BattleBrew Productions.

Pom’s passion may be for adventuring, but after receiving a concerning letter from her parents asking to see her one final time, she rushes to her hometown of Paell to find her parents gone and their beloved restaurant abandoned. Now it’s up to her to turn the eatery’s fortunes around!

Armed with her trusty spatula and a supply of refreshing boba tea, Pom will need to venture through dangerous and diverse dungeons to harvest all the ingredients she’ll need before returning home to cook up tasty dishes. Serve her loyal patrons, customize her dining hall with the help of local artisans, and watch out for the lunch rush!

“We are committed to supporting talented indie studios worldwide as we continue to publish unique and engaging titles” – Added Marc Melton, Marvelous Europe Managing Director.

“The BattleBrew Productions team is incredibly talented, and we are delighted to work with them to bring Cuisineer into our growing roster of games.”

Key Features:

A Smorgasbord of Dungeons: Explore procedurally generated biomes like lush forests, flaming volcanoes, icy caves, and deadly swamps that change their size, shape, and the ingredients they hold every time Pom visits.

Master the Flavors of Fighting: Unlock the powers of Salty, Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Umami, Frosty, and Toasty, mixing and matching the various effects to knock out the opposition with unique utensils and gourmet gear!

Craft Your Own Culinary Experience: With over 100 different recipes and dozens of ingredients, Pom has to cook up a storm to get the right dishes to the right customers—and have enough seating to accommodate her growing renown.

Take Quests to Go: While she’s dungeon diving, be on the lookout for items Paell’s residents need. Pom be rewarded with gold, new items, and even more recipes to take her cooking and adventuring to new heights.
