Return to Woanope as Flux Dabes, intergalactic trucker and disgruntled corporate employee. After years away from the planet under a lucrative (if morally dubious) spokesperson contract for the Bureau of Shipping, you return to visit some old pals and recover from corporate burnout. But before your vacation can even begin, a mysterious blast from the planet's surface sends you crashing into a new land, far from friends and alone in an alien wilderness. EXPLORE A DYNAMIC ALIEN WORLD Woanope is alive, thrumming with ecological interactions, curious creatures, friendly alien societies, and heaps of stories to uncover. Lure a Trunkle into an explosive meadow, fish up some Pho-rays by moonlight, or help those mischievous alien kids commune with a (probably) harmless multidimensional being. What could go wrong? FIGHT ON YOUR TERMS As you explore Woanope you'll discover and craft all manner of gadgets, elixirs, and weapons that deliver mix-and-match playstyles. Fight using stealth, traps, environmental hazards, and distance weapons. Or chug an Elixir of Juking, stun your opponent with a Space Wok, and jump right into the fray. Or just get... weird? Turn fish into bombs, or make a Pact with the Void to convert your pain into martial prowess. CONSTRUCT A HOME AWAY FROM HOME After a long day of exploring the wilderness, fighting Sluggabuns, and getting sneezed on by Trunkles, you'll need a place for you and your alien pals to relax. Build a cozy home-away-from-home where you can retreat from the outside world to craft, chat, fish, and farm -- or tame that orphaned Sluggababby you adopted -- in peace. Just don't forget to make space for your newfound friends... and potential roommates. BUILD FRIENDSHIPS Meet a colorful cast of characters in your journey across Woanope, each with their own unique skills and knowledge. Befriend them, help them with their goals, and discover new crafting recipes together through the power of friendship. RAISE ADORABLE PETS Find creature eggs out in the world, figure out how to hatch them, and raise them as little companions. You'll teach them the ways of the world and help them grow into formidable beasts. In return they'll keep you safe during your adventures. CHANGE THE WORLD Being zapped out of orbit was a pretty big clue that something is going awry on Woanope. But what!? Join the locals to figure out what's gone wrong, who's responsible, and how to make things right.

The dungeon is alive — and it is hungry. It baits you with treasure. When delvers fall, it digests them. That meal becomes bigger halls, denser layers, and more beasts. The glitter is bait. The monsters are the farm. Dungeon Cook is a first-person dungeon crawler with a kitchen at its heart. You walk living corridors, fight with a cook’s cards, harvest what drops on the knife, and time the fire for a clean cook or a perfect one. Pip, a village kitchen apprentice, wakes in the Verdant Threshold with only the Living Cookbook. The rest of the kitchen line is still being swallowed. Cook their signature dishes, set the offering on the altar, and pull them free before they become the next course. EIGHT KITCHENS Each one is its own ecology — not a coat of paint. • Verdant Threshold — eight layers of one fungal forest. Routes shift. Fauna evolves. The Threshold Guardian waits at the heart. • Boiling Brine Depths — eight layers of steam, salt, and pressure. The Brine Sovereign waits in the boiling heart. • Crystalline Meat Gardens — eight layers of singing lattice and jewelled flesh. The Crystal Gardener tends the heart orchard. • Ashen Ember Fields — eight layers of banked heat and patient ash. The Ember Warden keeps the fields from fully dying — or fully waking. • Whispering Root Labyrinth — vines that listen, flesh that borrows, tunnels that finish your sentences. • Hollow Feast Halls — leftover hospitality, unfinished courses that still remember the cook. • The Last Dessert — one frosting-court layer under the last kitchen, and a cupcake who thinks a crown is godhood. • The Final Course — the kitchen that dreamed the dungeon into being. Living gold ink. The Last Table. The first recipe, unfinished. EIGHT COOKS. EIGHT HANDS. Rescue the line and you inherit their deck. • Pip — line cook. Honest knives, block, and small heals. The way in. • Miravelle — range archivist. Bow volleys that grow the more you fire. • Torren — stone butcher. Heavy cleaves, hard block. Slow and costly. • Sable — ember smoker. Smolder, banked heat, recovery between burns. • Rook — root forager. Draw, energy, soft control. • Lira — feast host. Heals and the table. • Vespera — shadow sous. Setup, discard, burst. Fragile if the combo fails. • Sage — first recipe. Grows with every meal you have ever cooked. THE TABLE Treasure is bait. Digestion is growth. Broth’s stall restocks the line. Artifacts and meals rewrite the next fight. The Living Cookbook keeps what the party lost. AFTER THE LAST PLATE Clear the Final Course and a harder table opens. Beasts hit harder. Waves run thicker. Coin and essence come hungrier. Finish a tier to unlock the next. Not infinite — hungrier. TASTE FIRST The first two layers of the Verdant Threshold are free. Unlock the full kitchen with a one-time purchase. No ads. Restore Purchases anytime. One cook. One book. A kitchen that refuses to die. Cook what you kill.
