Even in our era of accelerating electric woe, there's a timeless comfort to be found in the simple act of cooking for a friend. The fulfilment of providing that basic hospitality is what developer The Rat Zone is trying to capture in Creature Kitchen, a laid-back cooking sim that released on Steam last week: It's just you, the ingredients scattered around your inscrutable woodland home, the yawning cosmic void contained within your oven, and the unsated hungers of the night creatures answering the call of the culinary witching hour.

Okay, so it's not exactly the conventional image of neighborly camaraderie, but still—people seem to like it! At time of writing, 99% of Creature Kitchen's 707 reviews on Steam have been positive since its February 6 launch, leaving it with an impressive Overwhelmingly Positive rating. And that's even accounting for the legged, mouthless egg-being!

Oh, I should note: There's a legged, mouthless egg-being. In addition to satisfying the food cravings of more mundane forest critters like crows, toads, and sandwich-hungry raccoons, Creature Kitchen also has you play host for a collection of unsettling cryptids.
