The Developer Says...

Stomach is a first-person cooking horror experience set on an abandoned cruise liner. Your only contact is a crackling phone that spits out increasingly disturbing orders. Obey them before the timer hits zero.

Core Loop

1. Answer the call. A mysterious boss dictates a single, elaborate dish.

2. Prep under pressure. Complete a variety of rapid-fire cooking minigames: cutting, toasting, microwaving, boiling, and a few others that stay unspoken.

3. Race the timer. Deliver the plate somewhere in the ship’s shadowed corridors. Miss the deadline and learn why no one else keeps this job.

4. Advance deeper. Each of the three levels unlocks new areas, ups the difficulty, and quietly bends reality around you.

Key Features

- Three complete levels, each with its own signature dish

- 30-45 minutes of focused, replayable tension

- 5+ interactive cooking minigames where precision matters and panic multiplies mistakes

- Escalating jumpscares and subliminal shifts that keep your senses off-balance

- Horror through routine: every order feels familiar until it doesn’t

No combat, no scavenger hunts. Just you, a ticking clock, and a kitchen that never feels safe. The only thing on your mind, no matter what you might see or hear... YOU. MUST. COOK.
