all that's left for you are long evenings listening to the monotonous signal of the microwave, waiting for another batch of reheated slop...

crude food is an atmospheric spooky mini game about crafting weird dishes from various products, edible or not, whatever the pipe gives you. follow the clues on tablet and collect every meal from your bucket list (27 unique delicious dishes).

we've interviewed the developers, and that's what they had to say:
spl3g (3D modeling) suggests playing with a notebook, as not everyone has the nerve to do so without one.
asmao314 (sound design) recommends you trying the rat (do not the rat).
MichaelNoskov (ideas and balancing) warns about turning the microwave on at max power.
AregKr (lead programer), unfortunately, does not show any signs of life after developing the entire game on his self-written game engine (check it out!).
