Hope you’re hungry, because we’ve got a fresh new game to serve up for you! From developers Novice Flow and publishers Rising Tide comes version 1.0 of Sous Raccoon, an adorable yet challenging cooking roguelite.
Play as Elmo, a reformed raccoon thief now serving as a sous chef under a harsh chef, and serve wave after wave of customers. But as I mentioned, this is a roguelite after all… so you’re also encouraged to get creative with the upgrades you make in each run and see how much of a difference they can make!
You won’t be alone in the kitchen; the game also emphasizes cooperation, with online co-op supporting up to 4 raccoons at a time.
The ingredients of Sous Raccoon include all this and more:
- Endless Mode: keep the restaurant open for as long as you can take it. Every day brings more customers and more monsters. When the run ends you get a score summary and a spot on the Steam Leaderboards, so you can settle who really runs the better kitchen.
- The final boss: kept under wraps the whole way through Early Access. It’s waiting at Stage 4. That’s all we’re saying.
- The bar: a new bar in the Lobby with three minigames, solo or in co-op. Mix Food, Tower Stack and Barrel Blast each have their own leaderboard and save your best.
- 13 new skins: 21 in total, and some of them only unlock through Steam Achievements.
- Your own room: buy furniture and swap styles and colors, with a preview before you spend. In co-op every raccoon keeps their own room.
- A new soundtrack: music for every stage that shifts with the mood in the restaurant, from easy service all the way to the moment Chef loses it.
- Controller and co-op polish: menus on the D-pad or stick, Steam On-Screen Keyboard support, a new co-op tutorial and a long list of fixes from Early Access players.
