About This Game

Italy, 19th century. On a damp night, a strange light falls from the sky. In the kitchen of a solitary writer and gastronome, you’ll be drawn into a mysterious descent into madness made of excesses, culinary rites, and secrets hidden from the world.

The warm comfort of the kitchen and the meticulous gestures of an expert hand are the only anchors left to keep your sanity intact.

Cucina Stellata ✦ Starred Cuisine is a brief and immersive narrative experience, with psychological and literary horror at its very core. It blends the preparation of traditional Italian recepies with the exploration of the narrator’s fractured mind, where flavor turns into madness and desire leads to an irreparable act.
