That's the whole game — no timers, no lives, no energy meters, no pressure. It's the sort-puzzle you've played before, with a warmer soul: a dim pantry, real glass jars, and eight richly colored spices — turmeric, paprika, basil, sumac, black pepper, cinnamon, blue butterfly pea, and pink Himalayan salt.
