Fire Up The ~REVOLUTION~ Today As Cyberpunk Kitchen Automation Sim Neon Noodles Launches For PC
Become a culinary mastermind and ~RISE UP~ your Cyberpunk cooking automations!
Calgary, Canada - August 3rd, 2023 - Vivid Helix is delighted to announce that its award-winning cyberpunk kitchen automation game, Neon Noodles, is out today for Windows, Linux, and Mac, on Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, Humble Games Store, and Itch.io. Immerse yourself in a ~TYRANNICAL~ cyberpunk future where food is the ultimate symbol of wealth and take charge of the futuristic food automation empire known as Neon Noodles. Do you have what it takes to pry humanity's future from the clutches of corporate greed?
In the near future, food has become the ultimate symbol of wealth ~AND OPPRESSION~. While the remnants of humanity barely subsist on tasteless nutrient sludge, a few ~GREEDY MONSTERS~ feast on the finest delicacies, courtesy of the titular Neon Noodles Corporation. Thrust into this dangerous and mysterious world, you must rise through the ranks of Neon Noodles and uncover the dark secret at the heart of this megalithic corporate empire.
Neon Noodles is an open-ended puzzle game inspired by Zachtronics classics like Opus Magnum. Accept contracts for ~LISTEN, I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME~ and use your ingenuity and a variety of different tools — everything from robot chefs to teleport stations — to build intricate production lines that transform 400 raw ingredients into over 250 delicious recipes, like Jollof rice, Spätzle or Fesenjān, ~NEON NOODLES ISN'T WHAT IT SEEMS~.
Use an intuitive record-and-replay system to design your own solutions for each mission. Make your machines as simple or as complex as you want, or obsess over optimizations in program size, speed, or area. Along the way, you'll begin to discover ~THEY'RE LYING TO YOU~ the mystery of who you really are and ~PLAY ALONG FOR NOW~.
Neon Noodles Key Features:
Create automations as intricate or as simple as you like, using everything from programmable robot chefs to teleport stations.
Automate your robot chefs through an intuitive record-and-replay system where you control a robot and have it replicate your exact inputs, then edit later if needed.
Solve endlessly replayable open-ended puzzles with 250 recipes from around the world consisting of 400 unique ingredients. Jollof rice, Clam Chowder, Spaetzle, Bibimbap — so many recipes to optimize!
Immerse yourself in a cyberpunk story where food is a luxury and ruthless corporate greed runs unchecked.
Compare your cooking automations with other players on the global leaderboards.
"Neon Noodles is a hypnotizing blend of my favorite things: cooking, automation, and vivid sci-fi stories," says Radu Muresan, the founder and solo developer behind Vivid Helix. "Fans of puzzle and Zachtronics games can look forward to slipping into that familiar, time-evaporating flow state as they strive to design the perfect automations. But I've worked tirelessly to make Neon Noodles accessible to anyone hungry for something different — a puzzle game that'll consistently challenge you to push your design skills to the next level while immersing you in a gripping tale of corporate espionage."
