Team17 just partnered up with Hermes Interactive and I know, I know: why do you care? You care, my puzzle loving friend, because that means that Automachef, a strange puzzler that deals with challenging culinary conundrums just joined their label, and now it's heading to the Switch and Steam in the summer of 2019. So... soon.
Automachef is a resource management puzzler where you design kitchens, program machinery and then watch everything come to life. We're talking about the kitchens of tomorrow here, people! You create some seriously Skynet-type, fully-automated kitchens that can crank out a variety of dishes, but each is a puzzle that requires you to overcome spatial, energy and design challenges. You'll monitor energy and ingredient consumption, plus fire and infestation risks, so you gotta plan, position and program a variety of machines that can slice, cook, assemble and serve food. If it sounds like a lot of pressure, it is.
Check out the video below to see how it all comes together, and if you like the cut of this game's jib, pick up Automachef this summer.
