SATED is a cooking roguelite from developer Forest Reges and publisher CRITICAL REFLEX, announced for PC via Steam and shown as a playable demo at Tokyo Game Show 2026 at the CRITICAL REFLEX booth, Hall 4 C08. A Steam page lists it as coming soon.
SATED was announced during the PC Gaming Show 2026 stream on June 8 as a roguelite cooking game from developer Forest Reges and publisher CRITICAL REFLEX. The announcement named the platform as PC via Steam and noted Japanese subtitle support. The premise: a player partners with a cursed refrigerator, cooks for monsters with incomprehensible tastes, and descends through a randomly generated dungeon inside a decaying giant structure. Ingredients include organs, industrial waste, live insects, batteries, and human eyeballs. If a dish goes wrong it can turn moldy, cursed, or sentient, and an unsatisfied customer turns the player character into the ingredient. Forest Reges previously worked on LiDAR Exploration Program, which holds a 90% positive rating from 273 Steam reviews.
By Tokyo Game Show 2026, the game was playable at the CRITICAL REFLEX booth, Hall 4 C08. Coverage described the setup in more detail: the player is a chef on a train crossing a hellish giant structure, a rubber duck explains the job, and a lamprey-toothed monster hands over an order slip. Ingredients come from a cursed refrigerator that dispenses like a slot machine, with paid rerolls, fullness values, and upgrade elements. A refrigerator lever lands ingredients across categories including entrails, filth, and skeleton. A barely edible dish earns a reward and passage to a shop for upgrades; a failed order ends with the player eaten by the customer. A pet frog raising element is present. Earlier TGS coverage framed the randomized ingredient pool and escalating reroll costs as the shop functioning as a bet against the refrigerator.
The throughline across the announcement and the TGS build is that the genre hook rests less on the gross-out premise than on a real fail state, where a wrong soup is a death rather than a wasted recipe. On September 19, 2026, the TGS build was described as making the loop work as a survival test rather than a management sim.

Forest Reges' cooking roguelike SATED was playable at the CRITICAL REFLEX booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026, Hall 4 C08. The player drives a railway car, pulls randomized ingredients from a slot-machine refrigerator (maggots, teeth, batteries, starfish, eyeballs, garbage), and cooks for a creature outside. A correct filthy soup keeps you alive; a wrong one gets you eaten and killed.
At Tokyo Game Show 2026, CRITICAL REFLEX is exhibiting SATED, a roguelite where the player is appointed chef on a train crossing a hellish giant structure. A rubber duck explains the job, a lamprey-toothed monster hands over an order slip, and soup is assembled from ingredients dispensed from a cursed refrigerator like a slot machine, with paid rerolls, fullness values, and upgrade elements.
