Excellent game.

This could have easily been a basic match 3 with a cooking gimmick, but there is a surprising amount of mechanical depth based on your load out. Having the player split time between ingredient hunting and cooking was also an excellent mechanic, forcing the player to make judgement calls and rewarding efficient hunting.

The story was also surprisingly good, with some great voice acting talent for the major characters. The writing was pretty great too, with a couple of well executed twists and plot points.

My only complaints are that some of the key binding didn't seem to work, and the controler sensitivity was a little wonky (a lot of accidental double inputs for rotating gems). The sound balance seemed a little off in some scenes as well, with the background music almost drowing out the voice actor. These were generally minor issues though.

All in all a very unique game with a lot going for it. I would definetly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of rotaitonal match 3 games, especially if they are into the theme.
