The kitchen never has to close in KuloNiku: Bowl Up!, with the cosy cooking game’s latest update adding an endless cooking mode. The Cook-All-Day Update is the newest addition to the game from Raw Fury and Gambir Studio, and arrives alongside a 40% discount on Steam.
It is the third major update since KuloNiku: Bowl Up! launched on 7 April. Between them, the updates have added new cooking modes, extra story, hangouts, special illustrations and decor items. The first, the Cat Delivery System Update in June, brought in a new delivery system involving the restaurant’s cat mascot. September’s Mid-Autumn Festival Update followed with content celebrating the game’s Indonesian roots, before October’s Cook-All-Day Update introduced the endless mode.
In KuloNiku: Bowl Up!, players inherit a meatball restaurant in the town of KuloNiku that was once famous but has since lost its shine. Bringing it back to the top means handling unusual orders from the locals and serving up good food, while fending off competition from Souper Starz, a flashy rival restaurant run by intimidating rockstar chef Stella.
Cooking is hands-on, with players pouring, sizzling, slicing and skewering their way through meatballs, fried toppings and other ingredients. Some of the biggest tests come in Meatball Brawls, head-to-head cooking battles judged by a rotating panel, where speed matters but strategy, creativity and getting each step of the process right count just as much.
Outside the kitchen, the restaurant can be improved with new tools, better ingredients, fresh decorations and new recipes. Players can also build relationships with friends and rivals around town to learn more about their hopes and dreams, unlocking trips to locations across KuloNiku as those bonds grow. Optional timed festivals add another layer, rewarding players with vouchers that can be redeemed for exclusive customisation items.
