“If anyone is still out there, I thought, they must be hungry.”
— MISO, LAST KEEPER OF THE KITCHEN
A note tucked under your bowl

After the last star,
someone made soup.

When the universe cooled, Miso found a stove that still worked. She lit it with the memory of a summer afternoon. Then she put a chair outside.

For a thousand years, nobody came. So she taught her utensils to sing, saved every spark, and left the sign turned to open.

Tonight, something is following the scent. Little hungers first. Then the cold that ate the stars. The kitchen has twenty-four courses to teach the dark that an empty place can be an invitation.

You are the night cook. Place instruments beside the golden broth-current. Stop the cold before it reaches the hearth. Reclaim warmth, improve your instruments between courses, and save a seat for the final guest.

No timer between courses. No downloads. Just a very long night.
Things Miso wrote on the fridge

Field notes.

Build: select an utensil, then a free tile. Its circle previews range. Confirm with “Build here.” You can build during service, but upgrades and selling are for the break between courses. Each instrument has four sequential upgrades, ending at level 5. Selling returns 70% of everything spent.

Warmth: earned per enemy and as a course stipend. Leaks cost hearth points; no hearth means the kitchen closes. Stronger enemies take more. Inspect the forecast before serving. Nothing starts automatically.

Controls: 1–5 select utensils; arrows move the board cursor; Enter selects a tile; U upgrades; Escape cancels. Space serves or pauses. Tab reaches all buttons. Sound is optional. Switching tabs pauses an active course.

A bell slows the rush. A pickle softens the shell. A ladle finishes what the others started.
