—Cross through the barren landscape looking for a big enough rock to throw yourself of off. Point and click in postapocaliptic Galiza through a cooking game with only one recipe.
SAUDADE
SteamUncover the story of this godforsaken soul, who procrastinates on giving up on surviving. One totem, one weapon, one recipe.

In this one player narrative cooking game, you will feed yourself through the pain with only one recipe: Galician filloas.
However, don't believe that this three ingredient dish is so simple.
As you change bits of the recipe to be able to adapt to the harsh enviroment, you will focus in a different part of the recipe process during each cooking cicle. Through click and time controls: take care of the perfect temperature, the dropping of the batter, the twist of the pan, and getting those magnificient edges crispy. Get it done well, and you will unlock the past.
By lighting up the cooking fire using emotional totems gained along the way, you will be taken back momentarily for a few minutes to when this journey started.
Will it be enough to seize the pain?

Discover the story of how you ended up alone in the apocalipse, and who you have lost in the process.
While learning how to turn grief into hope, navigating your deserted homeland, you will learn that, maybe... You are not as alone as you thought.

During your journey, you will:
● Recolect objects - And analize the possibilities of their use to your advantage.
● Measure the magnitude and height of rocks - And checking if they are high enough for you to throw yourself of off as a way of finishing the journey.
● Try to connect to remote radio networks - To see if there's any point in keep going.
● Manage your ingredient inventory - To be able to advance in the cooking process.

Not only that, but also:
● Get a different story every time - by deciding in which order to burn the emotional totems, each person will play the game differently by getting the bits of flashbacks in a different sequence.
● Explore a world and story through the lens of Galician tradition and its folklore - With quality dubbing and subtitling, you won't only be able to percieve Galician culture through the game design and set, but also its mother tonge.
● Enjoy an accesible gameplay - With focus in design clarity, audio adaptability, with adequate trigger warnings + optional ending teaser, and configurable colorblind visual filters.
