Let's Play(test) Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking Together!

[h2]Welcome to the monastery.[/h2][p]
We're excited to invite everyone to playtest Strange Scaffold's first co-op game:
Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking.

[/p][p]In this absurdist online multiplayer horror game, you and your friends must use traps, proximity voice chat and Gregorian chanting (among other tools) to feed giant monsters known as kaiju. Along the way, you'll gather treasure and ᵐᵃʸᵇᵉ prevent the apocalypse.

Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking's playtest is now open to everyone TODAY! This means you can play the full game and see its development hit completion in real-time leading up to its launch on July 29th.
[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]

We want to emphasize: these are the final days of development on our first multiplayer game. This is not a demo or a beta. We're inviting you to join us on an exciting journey while we gear up for launch!

So if you enjoy your time cooking, give us a wishlist and tell a friend. ♡

Absurd medieval co-op game tasks you with feeding Kaiju to stop the apocalypse

There's something weirdly delightful about all of Strange Scaffold's games, something that hooks you in and makes it almost impossible to look away, be it trading organs in a strange alien universe or clicking items in an eerie hotel room. I'm always excited when the studio announces a new project, waiting with bated breath to see what weird and wonderful world we'll be presented with next - and it looks like the latest game, Co-Op Kaiju Horror Cooking, won't disappoint. If you don't believe me, you can play the entire thing for free right now.
