Quantcast



Here's a thing that's now on my radar, thanks to Twitter -- Haymaker Games' Ghost Chef.

Scheduled as an Xbox LIVE Arcade release, the game puts spectres in the kitchen, in what the indie developer calls a "revolution in interactive spectral cooking." Ghost Chef will feature solo, cooperative, and campaign modes, with players using their spirits to stir, cook, and otherwise tend kitchen. That will involve fighting off a giant squid, and avoiding the hazards of slipping on syrup. Because these are the things ghost chefs worry about, of course.

The game currently has no publisher, apparently being entirely funded out-of-pocket by Haymaker at this point. But considering the public outcry for more ghost cooking games (and the fact that this trailer has sold me on the concept when I know very little about the actual game) bodes well for its future. Anyone out there want to throw some money at 'em?

This looks kind of like those style of games in the vein of Dinner Dash and the like.

It's kind of tough to get how the playing of it works, but it does look fun and really Adorable.

Can't wait to see more about it

I guess this will be another year in which I spend an absurd amount of money on XBLA games.

How does a ghost know what food tastes like?

This sounds kind of amazing. I love ghosts, and I also happen to love food.

Haha, awesome slapstick feel to it. Every time I see awesome little indie games in the works it makes me want to pick up an Xbox. Apparently the artist who worked on it is the same chick who did that Chrono Trigger poster and Little Big Planet stickers a while back when everyone flipped out about a new Chrono Trigger game :P

From your description it doesn't sound anything like what "it sounds like." From the title I was thinking it'd be a game about cooking ghosts, not using ghosts to cook.

I would buy both this AND Zombie Pediatrician. I believe we've struck gold, my friends.
