About the Game

Elmo Raccoon The Sous Chef

"A good restaurant is the one closest to the ingredients, no matter how dangerous that place might be."

Welcome to a world where restaurants are battlefields. You must serve and protect customers from monsters. If the guests are killed or lose their patience, the Chef fires you. It's adorable. It's brutal. It's deliciously unpredictable.

You play as Elmo, a "Raccoon" who is a chef's assistant. You have to do everything in the kitchen, including protecting the customers from attacking "Monsters." If you mess up and the chef gets furious, you'll be fired!!
