Undertale Cooking with Kindness

"This is going to be the greatest restaurant the Underground has ever seen!"

Undertale Cooking with Kindness is a prequel fangame focusing on the green SOUL, Sunny.

Following their fall into the Underground, Sunny meets Luna, a monster with dreams of making the greatest restaurant in the underground. Determined to help, Sunny agrees to work together to achieve this far-off goal. Still, the spectre of the Underground's King looms over Sunny, and it seems as if death is inevitable...

MEET THE STAFF

During your time working at the Eclipse you'll meet a wide variety of colourful characters, some of which will end up helping out at the restaurant! Let's take a look at the staff of the Eclipse!

SUNNY:

Our protagonist! A human with a knack for cooking that’s always ready to give a helping hand, no matter the cost! They are the backbone of The Eclipse.

LUNA:

A monster with a drive to create the greatest restaurant in the underground! Idealistic, yet somewhat of a neurotic control freak, they want to prove themselves by finally accomplishing their dream! A restaurant that will be remembered forever!

GRILLBY:

A quiet and classy young monster looking to learn the culinary craft. Seeing the talent on display at The Eclipse, he joins to perfect his own cooking and showcase his knowledge. He has high standards for both himself and others.

MAWZZ:

The man behind the money! With his big mouth and sharp tongue, he worms himself into a position managing the restaurant’s funds and overseeing expansion. He’s a trustworthy guy though, I mean look at that smile! Just don’t be late with your payments or you’ll be uh… Sleepin’ with da fishes, let’s say.

And you'll meet even more helpful employees once you enter The Eclipse proper!

GAMEPLAY

Unlike most other Undertale fangames, UTCWK features no battling whatsoever, nor does it feature a fight/mercy system. Instead, UTCWK's main gameplay is reminiscent of a restaurant and cooking sim. Instead of encountering and fighting enemies, Sunny must instead make it through days working at The Eclipse, making food and serving customers.

The game is split up into days. Every day you will have a set amount of customers to serve, and each order has a time limit, so you better act fast!

These orders are handled through cooking minigames! The UNDERTALE battle box and menus have been repurposed into the UI for a cooking game! These minigames are reminiscent of Cooking Mama and WarioWare.

(Minigame showcase)

Stack Burgers!

Slice Vegetables!

Catch Ice Cream!

And so much more!

Acting helps you determine the customer's preferences. The faster and closer to their preferences you manage to make the customers’ orders, the more GOLD and PRESTIGE you gain at the end of the day!

FAQ

Q: When will this game come out?

A: I have no idea! We can say with confidence that we plan to have a playable gameplay showcase sometime before the end of the year, but a full public demo (featuring the first few days and the intro) is currently pretty far away. Keep an eye on this page or our twitter for further updates.

-

Q: How long will a single playthrough take?

A: The current plan is that a single playthrough should be about 4 hours long. A little shorter than base Undertale in terms of content. Of course, the player will be the one to decide when they are done with this game, and how fast or slowly.

-

Q: When did this game start development?

A: The original idea came in early January of 2024, and the team has been working on it in some shape or form since then.

-

Q: Will there be a mobile/mac/Linux port?

A: There are no plans for ports.

-

Q: Is (X) canon to UTCWK?

A: The only things canon to UTCWK are Undertale and its associated external material.

-

Q: Are there multiple routes/endings?

A: You and I both know this game can only have one ending. The question is what you do before that happens.

-

Q: What engine is this game made in?

A: Despite being an Undertale fangame, UTCWK is made using the Kristal engine, using the Magical Glass Redux library.

-

Q: I want to volunteer to help on this project! What should I do?

A: If you want to join the CWK team, DM me (shadowofroserade) on discord with what role you'd like (Programmer, Composer, Spriter, etc.) and a collection of your past work. Additionally, also let me know how long you've known about this project and where you learned about it.

Applications are open at the moment, and should stay open for at least a while, but if they ever close I'll update the page to reflect that.
