The cooking minigames are nice but some variety in execution would be nice (I also was expecting them to corrupt but I guess I will have to be patient), the recipe book is a very nice way to read information and keep track about stuff in the game, I actually enjoyed reading a lot.
I equally loved the "dating" sim part and the spooky slow burn, I can't wait for the full thing but I will never forgive you guys for that cliffhanger! (I am kidding I forgive you, please give me more spider wife)
In the meantime I'll sit here cooking (heh) endless theories about what could be happening, and I'll be keeping an eye (heh, heh) on this game.
Keep up the good work!
