Space Chef
Space Chef – out now

It’s time to fire up the star-burners and stock the fridge with wriggling alien critters, as Space Chef, a brand-new, three-course meal of an adventure has just been served up on consoles and PC.

Space Chef, the zany new title from developer Blue Goo Games and publisher Kwalee is now available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC for just ÂŁ11.24.

Prepare to become the galaxy’s premiere chef as you seek out the finest ingredients from distant planets, cook delicious dishes, and serve them to a cast of cosmic characters, all from the comfort of your fully-customisable space trailer.

A Three-Course Meal of an Adventure

Space Chef is a unique and ambitious title that blends three distinct genres into one zany, three-course meal of an adventure.

You start with the appetiser – the light survival RPG elements. This is where you get your ingredients, and they might not come quietly.

You’ll need to explore distant planets, derelict space stations, and even your own basement for plants, critters, and other tasty morsels. Along the way, you’ll come across space pirates, ancient ruins, and a suspiciously high number of recently abandoned restaurants.

From there, it’s all about the main course – being a restaurant manager. See, once your fridge is stocked with ingredients that have (mostly) stopped wriggling, it’s time to cook!

You’ll craft over 140 different dishes, from simple Beefle Skewers to the legendarily tricky Octoegg Surprise. As your reputation grows, you can even open up a sit-in restaurant. You’ll also need to set a stellar ambiance by taking complete control of your space-trailer’s interior, adding new floors, themed zones, and over 150 different furnishings.

And then we get to the dessert, and that means focusing on the zany life sim side of Space Chef. The citizens of the Horseshoe Nebula are more than just hungry bellies. You’ll get to know a zany cast of characters, including Zoe the scrap dealer, the faded Space Ace Jack Bronzon, and the definitely-not-alien barman Zlurka.

You’ll uncover unique recipes, side quests, and even romance. With your new-found friends, you’ll also uncover the truth about your missing grandma and take on the might of the evil Galactic Burger as they try to muscle in on your space-turf.

Check out the cosmic cuisine in the official trailer…

Your Cosmic Kitchen

Here’s a taste of what’s on the menu in this new adventure:

  • A Unique Genre Blend: A restaurant manager, light survival RPG, and life sim all in one.
  • Explore Alien Worlds: Hunt, harvest, and run away from over 180+ creatures and plants across 5 alien planets.
  • Cook Up Cosmic Creations: Craft over 140 delectable dishes from 100+ alien ingredients.
  • Set a Stellar Ambiance: Customise your restaurant with over 150 furnishings and decorations.
  • Serve the Nebula: A zany cast of characters with their own questlines and even romance options.
  • A Thrilling Story: Uncover the truth about your missing grandma and take on the evil Galactic Burger.

The grill is hot, the ingredients are… moving, and the Horseshoe Nebula is hungry. If you’re a fan of cozy sims, chaotic cooking, and wild exploration, Space Chef is ready to take your order on the Xbox Store right now, and you should also be finding it on other digital platforms too.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.
