Recipe For Disaster Gets Full Release Date

Restaurant simulators and time-management games are pretty popular with us here at Phenixx Gaming. I’m always on the lookout for games in the genre for several of us on staff, and a new one caught my eye this week. Recipe for Disaster by Dapper Penguin Studios is coming out of Early Access soon. I hadn’t known it was even in Early Access, but thanks to this announcement we have something new to look forward to.

Recipe For Disaster will get its 1.0 release on August 5^th. It is a restaurant management simulator that carries on elements from the tycoon genre with a few tweaks. Here is what the press release has to say about the game.

“Recipe for Disaster is a fun, yet challenging take on the restaurant tycoon genre and shows off the hectic and stress-inducing world of the food-service industry in all its glory. Players will need to experiment with different ingredients and customize food menus in an attempt to satisfy the peculiar tastes of the customers, and their volatile attitudes, always walking the precarious line between gastronomic glory and restaurant ruin.

Players will also be able to construct the restaurant of their dreams from the ground up and get creative with the in-game recipe editor, using their culinary prowess (or not) to recreate classic dishes or go wild and create something truly ‘inspiring’.

But in true Kitchen Nightmares fashion, running a restaurant isn’t all it’s cracked up to be! Players will need to contend with staff personalities, stock issues, cleanliness, fires, rat infestations, overflowing toilets, VIP guests and not to mention the need to keep health inspectors off your back or face a huge fine!

Recipe for Disaster features a challenging campaign mode with the task of reviving a variety of failing restaurants, and a Freeplay mode with customizable objectives.”

Recipe For Disaster will be priced at $16.99 at launch. It is also fully playable on the Steam Deck if that’s something you’re interested in. If you’re looking for a new tycoon game or management sim, this might be right up your alley.
