About This Game

A Wilder Menu is a side-scrolling adventure and restaurant sim. Take over a restaurant on a boat, spend the day foraging and hunting ashore, then head back to prep and open for dinner.

Head ashore and stock up

Jump your way around the island, knock fruit from trees, gather ingredients, and fend off the wildlife. Keep an eye on your stamina and backpack space, then bring your haul back to the boat. It’s laid-back, with just enough danger to keep you on your toes.

Experiment with ingredients and unlock over 100 dishes

Collect recipes and try new combinations with the ingredients you bring back. Unlock over 100 dishes, add them to your recipe book, and turn the day’s haul into tonight’s menu.

Set the menu and open for business

Plan your menu around what’s in stock, prep your ingredients, and open the doors. Take orders, cook, serve, and clean up. When the rush hits, you’ll need to decide what to tackle first. Guests have different tastes and only so much patience, so get their food out on time and keep the tips coming.

Hire help to cook, serve, and gather

Hire and train staff to prep ingredients, cook, wait tables, and clean up. As you progress, you’ll also be able to send them out to gather ingredients you’ve already discovered. Let them handle the regular supply runs, so you won’t have to keep heading ashore for the same ingredients. You decide who stays to help and who heads out. Put your earnings toward new kitchen gear, decorations, and restaurant upgrades.

Doors open tonight. The menu’s up to you.
