Co-Op Kaiju Horror Cooking Flips Co-op on Its Head

Deranged Premise Meets Indie Savvy

Strange Scaffold has built a reputation for wild concepts and polished execution, from Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator to CLICKOLDING. Their latest project, Co-Op Kaiju Horror Cooking, takes that inventive spirit into online multiplayer. Imagine medieval monks scurrying through dark dungeons, gathering bizarre ingredients, and catapulting steaming hot dishes at a colossal monster before it flattens your abbey—sounds absurd, right? Yet this fever dream of culinary chaos promises an unforgettable co-op experience.

Cooking Meets Cosmic Horror in a Procedural Labyrinth

At its core, Co-Op Kaiju Horror Cooking blends the frantic teamwork of Overcooked with the oppressive dread of cosmic horror. Each run drops two to four players into a procedurally generated dungeon teeming with traps, magical reagents, and eldritch creatures. You’ll have only ten minutes to:

• Collect a roster of outlandish ingredients—think glowing fungi, bone marrow, and spectral salt.
• Coordinate cooking stations under time pressure to complete monstrous recipes.
• Load your catapult, aim through shifting corridors, and fire your dish skyward to feed the kaiju looming above.

Fail to satisfy your gargantuan patron in time, and watch the dungeon—and your hopes for salvation—crumble beneath its rampaging feet. Success, on the other hand, grants you precious breathing room before the next horrifying feast begins.

Free Playtest Live Now

For those eager to leap into the madness early, Strange Scaffold has launched a limited-time playtest on Steam. This open build lets players stress-test the game’s hectic loops and provide feedback directly to the developers. Whether you want to master the art of kitchen jugglerie or uncover hidden dungeon shortcuts, now’s your chance to dive in with friends and report bugs before the final rush to launch.

Mark Your Calendar: Full Release July 29, 2025

The polished version of Co-Op Kaiju Horror Cooking arrives on Steam for PC on July 29, 2025, supporting online co-op for 2–4 players. Console ports are being discussed internally at Strange Scaffold, but no platforms have been confirmed yet. Save the date, assemble your squad, and prepare for the kitchen’s most eldritch challenge.

Summer of Strange Scaffold

This release also kicks off the studio’s “Summer of Strange Scaffold,” a seasonal celebration of all things weird. Expect special in-game bundles, Steam discounts, community events, and early teases of the studio’s next offbeat titles. If you’ve followed Strange Scaffold’s past four years of output, you know the surprises will range from delightfully absurd to downright mind-bending.

Why You Should Care

On paper, medieval monks flinging food at monsters sounds like a party game gag. Look closer and you’ll find a narrative-driven campaign exploring faith, sacrifice, and teamwork under cosmic threat. The co-op systems reward both frantic improvisation and careful planning—one player might guard the catapult, another steers through winding halls, while the rest juggle pots and pans. All of this unfolds to a hauntingly playful score by composer David Mason, whose work on Dredge adds layers of eerie tension and melodic whimsy.

Getting Started: Tips for New Recruits

• Prioritize communication: call out ingredient locations and trap positions.
• Master the catapult cooldowns—each successful launch extends the timer.
• Use environmental hazards: lure minor monsters into spike pits to clear paths.
• Experiment with recipe combos early; some dishes grant bonus buffs against dungeon foes.

Final Take: Cook, Catapult, Survive

Co-Op Kaiju Horror Cooking is a bold mashup of genres that only Strange Scaffold could pull off. From its procedural labyrinths to its kitchen chaos, every session promises unpredictable thrills.
