The game is an FPS where players work as chefs in a restaurant kitchen and fill a steady stream of orders while armed enemies raid the room. Players cook with a weapon in one hand, defend with the other, and can press cooking tools and dishes into service as weapons: a frying pan as a melee weapon, a thrown knife, bread fired from a toaster, a burnt failed dish that explodes like a bomb, and a cold dessert that freezes enemies. It supports solo play and online co-op for up to four players. Ingame Studios, known for the crime action FPS Crime Boss: Rockay City, is developing. The game is planned for early access on PC via Steam in 2027, with two restaurants included at launch.","whyItMatters":"The announcement pairs Ingame Studios' FPS experience with a cooking simulation format rather than a second crime shooter, and the early access plan commits 505 Games to a release that is expected to need at least six more months of content additions before the official launch.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eAt the start of early access, two restaurants will be included and the core parts of the gameplay are expected to be finished. New kitchens, recipes, and weapons are planned as content updates during the early access period.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecipes come from cuisines around the world. Onion rings are made by slicing an onion with a knife and deep-frying it, and a hamburger involves grilling a patty until browned, then adding cheese and tomato on a bun. Finished dishes are tossed into a serving elevator to complete an order, which earns score. An incorrect order deducts points.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kitchen changes when the restaurant changes, so players cook with whatever tools and equipment are available in that space. Beyond the frying pan, thrown knife, toaster-fired bread, exploding burnt dish, and freezing dessert, other dishes make enemies slip and fall or shrink their bodies. Guns include assault rifles and shotguns.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProximity voice chat is supported. In co-op, dividing roles and calling out to each other to keep the kitchen running matters, especially with fires and explosions breaking out mid-service.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Mayhem A La Carte turns the cooking tools into the arsenal: burnt dishes become bombs and cold desserts freeze enemies. That is also the design risk, since every mechanic has to read as both dinner and damage in a single glance.","twitterPost":"Mayhem A La Carte makes every cooking tool a weapon: frying pan, thrown knife, bread from a toaster. The joke only works if players read dinner and danger at once.","threadsPost":"Mayhem A La Carte pulls double duty from its kitchen props: a frying pan is melee, a burnt dish explodes, a cold dessert freezes. The fun hinges on readability, because every object has to read as dinner and as damage in the same second while enemies raid the room.","newsletterBlurb":"505 Games and Ingame Studios have announced a co-op cooking shooter where chefs defend their kitchen from armed raiders with guns, frying pans, and exploding failed dishes.
