Having performance issues with an older computer? This may be due to the engine rendering: try this, Shift+G, then select a different rendering method. Restart the game and see if that fixes it!

Play through Chompettes Origins and go through Nightmare Mode and NG+: content has been added to everything past a fresh "normal" playthrough!

With internal testing: we discovered there is a chance your older save files are causing an issue with the update. There are two ways to fix this:

1) Open Steam
2) Go into the Library tab
3) Right-click Cooking Companions
4) Go to Manage > Browse Local Files
5) Go back to the previous folder (the folder that showed when you pressed "Browse local files" on Steam)
6) Select all the content inside this folder and delete it
7) Go back to your Steam Library
8) Right-click over Cooking Companions;
9) Manage > Uninstall to uninstall your game
10) Install the game again

OR uninstall Cooking Companions and delete the folder at Program Files>Steam>steamapps>common>Cooking Companions

Coming soon: survive ANY basement with the help of Cabbage! Check it out here


Special thanks to all returning players of Cooking Companions: your fanart, music, theories and videos were incredible!

WISHLIST THE GAME NOW!

To celebrate the first anniversary of its spinoff prequel Shadows on the Vatican: Nightingale, we are pleased to announce SHADOWS ON THE VATICAN – ACT III: SLOTH, the highly anticipated next full installment of our classic-styled point-and-click adventure series coming to PC on Steam in 2023.

Corruption dwells in the darkness at the highest levels of the Catholic Church, as a small but powerful cabal is covertly pulling the strings behind the most pivotal aspects of Italian society. In the penultimate act of the four-part religious conspiracy thriller set in Italy, ex-priest James Murphy and the paid assassin named Silvia must put aside their differences and join forces to expose the “Suits” before becoming their latest victims.

Alternating control between James and Silvia, players will explore a variety of beautifully illustrated locations across Rome, which look better than ever thanks to completely restyled hand-drawn graphics and redesigned animations.

And if you are still missing any of the games published so far, the series bundle is on sale!

Thank you for your feedback to chapter 4 so far! Based on that we have made some improvements and fixed bugs:

---

- Redesigned loading screen between scenes
- Added more people searching in the park

- Fixed the time display on all devices
- Fixed the footstep sounds & animation in the apartment

We are thrilled to finally be able to announce this - our folk horror adventure THE EXCAVATION OF HOB'S BARROW is being published by Wadjet Eye Games! It has been truly an honour and a privilege to work with such a legendary publisher, one who counts Unavowed, Primordia, Technobabylon, Gemini Rue and Blackwell series among their catalogue of classics!

Wait, wasn't this game called INCANTAMENTUM?
Yes, it was. After discussions with various people who know what they are talking about, the consensus was that INCANTAMENTUM is a bit hard to remember/spell/pronounce for some folk. Interestingly, The Excavation of Hob's Barrow was our original working title for the game, so it was easy for us to make the switch! Rest assured nothing else about the game has changed in any way.

Working with Wadjet Eye Games means we've been able to expand and polish the game well beyond our initial hopes. The game now has full voice acting from a cast of great professional actors, and will also be coming to Mac and Linux!

You might notice the game is still referred to as INCANTAMENTUM on certain areas of Steam, with the old promo images - these might take a few days to clear away.

The game will be released later this year.

Thanks for your support!

This should fix save games not loading correctly.

This bug seemed to have been introduced a few updates ago - thanks to Raymanbs for finding and reporting it :)

***UPDATE***

I've traced the cause of the save games failing to load to the world resizing system so, for the moment, I've disabled the world resizer until I can implement a proper fix.

Kita [Nature]

Kita is a gracious cactus creature with high mobility. It uses its thorns to deal damage in combat.


Special attack: Kita throws thorns in a cone dealing damage to all targets in the area.


Her abilities can look simple at first glance, but her synergies can change the tide of the battle or give her healing power. So, train her very well!


Shaz [Dragon] - Legendary


Shaz is a huge legendary dragon from the desert.
He combines fire, wind and sand to turn your day into hell. Good luck!

Good luck trying to capture him. ːsteammockingː

We are planning to launch Major Update 11 on Friday(29). Be prepared, adorer!

You can follow the development more closely at our discord server: Cadabra Discord.
Also, feel free to talk directly to the devs and send us any suggestions or critiques.

May Draknar bless you!
