Roguelite Cooking Game SATED Announced at PC Gaming Show 2026

Publisher CRITICAL REFLEX and developer Forest Reges announced the roguelite cooking game SATED during the PC Gaming Show 2026 stream on June 8. The game is coming to PC via Steam, with Japanese subtitle support. In SATED, players partner with a cursed refrigerator that dispenses ingredients such as organs, industrial waste, live insects, batteries, and human eyeballs. Players must cook dishes to satisfy monsters with incomprehensible tastes while descending through a randomly generated dungeon in a decaying giant structure. The balance and order of ingredients matter: if the procedure is wrong, the dish may become moldy, cursed, or sentient. If a customer is not satisfied, the player character becomes the ingredient instead. The developer, Forest Reges, previously worked on LiDAR Exploration Program, which holds a 90% positive rating from 273 Steam reviews. The Steam store page lists the game as coming soon.

The cursed refrigerator in SATED is sentient and dispenses ingredients when players pull a lever. Catalysts can be used to influence which ingredients appear, according to the Steam store page. Monsters place orders for dishes, and players must follow a procedure that includes selecting ingredients, cooking them in a pot, and preparing a restaurant course.

The game's visual creepiness is striking, with descriptions that lean more toward grossness than playfulness, according to 4Gamer.net. The Automaton article notes the protagonist is trapped in a decaying giant structure and descends into the abyss of a hellscape where rotting flesh and unseen things roar. Each floor has monsters seeking food.

Forest Reges is the developer. Publisher CRITICAL REFLEX stated that KenForest, who worked on LiDAR Exploration Program, is involved with SATED. That earlier game holds a 90% positive rating from 273 Steam user reviews, earning a "Very Positive" status, according to Automaton. The Steam store page lists the game as coming soon.
