Theme
The concept for this game came to me when I was considering how I might convey my (Lachlan) personal experiences learning about peoples perception of smell in the world through a game. The alien foods represent the unknown for me, and the process of guessing, checking, and improving that the game guides you through when making dishes, is similar to my experience of having to guess what a smell might mean, check in (either by asking or guaging reactions) and then improving my understanding of it for next time.

Overall, the gameplay is a neat little expression of a part of me that's kind of an open secret that I don't talk about too often.
