[h2][b] Hey there, cozy folks! Welcome to Cook For Love’s Devlog #2 – Concept and Inspiration, where we will dive into where the game started and what direction it’s going during its development. We also have some news for everyone who wants to try out Cook For Love before its release 👀✨ Buckle up, buckaroos!

Though related via their shared universe and characters, Cook For Love can be played without any knowledge of Tell Me Your Story’s plot. Built upon the same art and cozy vibes as TMYS, Cook For Love puts a culinary spin and takes some of the most enjoyable aspects of food-related puzzles to a new level. Of cooking, that is 🍲 Drawing the cozy essence from Tell Me Your Story was key to making a style-coherent game that would continue the theme of stress-free puzzles - though the gameplay is a lot different. The cooking part is much more free and straightforward with a recipe ready for whenever you need a hint.

Many of the above titles are already known to cooking (and puzzle) game enthusiasts, so Cook For Love is meant to ease the players into a cozy atmosphere while drawing on those concepts.
