In what seems to be a crazy mash up between Iron Chef and The Twilight Zone, Gateway Games has a Euro style title by the name of How to Serve Man up for funding. Players compete to become the top chef on a cosmic cooking show. The catch? The chefs are aliens and the main ingredients are people. Not Soylent Green people but human people! How to Serve Man is currently approaching 75% of its Kickstarter funding goal with 26 days to go. You can reserve a copy at the $39 pledge level, with an expected ship date of October 2015.
About the project:
The fires are lit, the silverware is polished, and the humans have been harvested…it’s time for everyone’s favorite Cosmic Cooking Show, HOW TO SERVE MAN!
Step into the shoes of an intergalactic Chef competing against other Chefs in a knock down, no-holds-barred Cooking competition! The featured ingredient for this contest… Human Beings!
Impress the Celebrity Judges with your culinary prowess while making sure your ingredients don’t run away. Do you have what it takes to beat out your friends to become the champion of Space Kitchen Arena?
In this light worker placement game, you will gather resources, cook them up, and combine them to create Dishes to present to the Celebrity Judge panel. Impress the judges and you will earn bonus points for future Dishes, and those judges will help shape your overall cooking strategy.
The Chef that earns the most points, while dealing with the inevitable hazards of outer space, wins!
