Games like Moonlighter and Dave the Diver did a great job of creating a whole new genre – the cozy management game. Now we’ve got a new one to check out that hits in the same space – Monster Chef.

Let’s check out Monster Chef.
Visceral hack’n’slash dungeon-crawling where you bring your freshly slaughtered game back to your tavern to serve up to your hungry patrons. The more dangerous, the more delicious.
