I'm so glad I got the chance to play this - thank you so much for providing an English language version! I loved this. So unexpected. Kind of reminded me of Doki Doki Literature Club - some of my senses were telling me I was in a safe and cosy environment, while others were telling me to run for my life. Wait! I thought of another comparison - the woman in the radiator from Eraserhead. Comforting and repulsive and funny and horrifying all at once! I think the satire of a talk show / cookery show was a great choice. Sitting at home alone, eating processed food, transifixed by the TV, watching celebrities have simulated conversations while they prepare organic ingredients you can aspire to preparing yourself one day... this game reveals the nightmare!

Well I've just tried the English version and it is as weird as one would expect. I had a long laugh at 'They forced me to study mathematics to confirm the existence of God and Donatella Versace'. The challenge of recalling ingredients is neat, and the ingredients listed are amusing. There was mention of the theme. The tone is consistently charmingly absurd, though there were moments where I was confused about what was being said, possibly a translation thing. Fun lil game!
That was pretty dope! The grammar was a bit off in some places, but it was still more than understandable. I was lost on what had to be done during the cooking minigame though, as whatever was written on the left side was still in Italian. Either way, the bits I could understand were pretty hilarious, and I definitely found myself smiling at the variety of characters, their situations, and the absurdity of it all. Cool little surreal mess of a game, in a great way!
Speaking of the minigame, I think it's pretty cool, even though I was a bit lost as to what was going on. It's nice to see some gameplay beyond just text here. It looks just as goofy as the rest of the game!
Thanks a lot for the feedback! ❤️
The lines of explanations of the minigame were the only ones that weren't in Ink, and as such we forgot to translate them - pushed a fix for that too!
ahahaha ma che è
btw, keyboard controls (at least for the dialogue: button to advance, other buttons for the choices; and to quit and to restart) would be a great addition.
typo: “pat pat” (?) e “pat-pat”; “scolata/b>”, “palla!.”, Snookie diventa Snooki (?), “cuccie”
mi incuriosisce la localizzazione di un po’ tutto ma in particolare [SPOILER?] di Paolo Brosio e Cuccarini se Lorella, e il riferimento al recentissimo fatto di cronaca rosa [/SPOILER?]
Grazie per la segnalazione per i typo :D siamo arrivate alla fine così esauste che letteralmente non abbiano riletto NULLA XD Il suggerimento per i controlli è ottimo <3 Mentre per la localizzazione di cose così specifiche ci sono non poche *** in corso :D Anche perché abbiamo un po' di reference culturali su cui appoggiarci ma che fanno più capo al mondo UK che non a qualcosa di generale. Possiamo giusto confidare nel trash che la famiglia Kardashian sa offrire al globuniverso :D (asap ci giochiamo bl.ink :D)
Hi! Thanks a lot for the feedback! We pushed a last-minute translation of the game in English if you want to try it out :D
