About This Game

A full kitchen. A hidden agenda.

The orders keep coming. Someone needs to chop the vegetables, someone needs to watch the stove, and someone just dropped dinner on the floor. Was it an accident?

Kitchen Traitor brings first-person cooking and social deduction to the same busy kitchen. Work together to keep the restaurant open, or blend in with the cooks while quietly pushing the shift toward disaster.

Cook together

Grab ingredients, prepare recipes, watch the heat and get food to the customers. Carry dishes carefully and keep the clean plates moving. Every job takes time, and every teammate is another pair of hands you need to trust.

Make it look like a mistake

Hidden traitors use the same kitchen interactions as everyone else. Switch off a stove, add the wrong ingredient or let dinner burn. There is no warning that tells the crew whether they saw clumsiness or sabotage. Pay attention to who was there, what changed and whose explanation adds up.

Call the meeting

Discuss the shift and vote on who should be tied up. Suspicious cooks stay in the restaurant and can hop around while temporarily unable to work. Their role stays secret, and they return to the kitchen when their restraint ends. A wrong accusation can leave the team short of the hands it needs.

Three restaurants. Plenty of ways to go wrong.

Choose Classic Kitchen, Rooftop Grill or Nami Sushi in the lobby. Each has six recipes and its own kitchen layout. Prepare soups and sandwiches in Classic, work the open-air grill and carry food to numbered tables on the Rooftop, or make sushi, miso and tempura at Nami.

Keep the doors open

Hit the daily target and build a success streak. In a normal match, three successful days in a row save the restaurant; three missed targets close it. Short matches use two successes or two warnings. Finding a traitor is useful, but the orders still need to go out.

• 4–8 player online social deduction, with one or two traitors depending on the lobby size and host settings.
  
• Co-op without traitors, plus solo practice to learn the kitchens. Two- and three-player lobbies run as co-op.
  
• Three restaurants, six recipes per restaurant and shared cooking, serving and washing tasks.
  
• In-game voice and text chat, with local player mute controls. Tied-up voices become muffled sounds.
  
• Normal and short matches, adjustable difficulty and remappable controls.

Playing together: Social deduction requires at least four players. One player hosts the match; if the host leaves, the match ends. In-game voice needs a working microphone to speak. External voice apps are not muted by the game.
