🐺 Small wolf. Big appetite.

A deliciously dangerous, turn-based puzzle roguelike where every step is a bite — and your stomach is your real health bar.

You are a hungry wolf cub in The Grand Buffet, a dungeon made entirely of dinner. The exit is always in sight. The food looks wonderful. The rats have already started eating.

There is only one problem: you cannot walk past a dish without swallowing it.

🍽️ Every step is a decision

Explore a fully visible 7 × 7 buffet, one tile at a time. Eat to collect Plates, build flavor chains, and charge powerful Feasts. Empty dishes make useful breathing room — but walking on an empty stomach hurts.

• 🥩 Stay between 4 and 7 stomach points to double your Plates.
• 😖 Eat too much and indigestion costs health and a turn.
• 😵 Eat too little and hunger takes over.
• 🔍 Inspect any dish to preview its weight and your stomach after digestion.

Enemies move only after you act. Watch their dotted movement paths, bite them by stepping toward them, and get out of a chef's marked danger zone before the countdown ends. Take your time planning — but not too many turns: mold spreads every ten turns, and the whole buffet spoils at forty.

🌶️ Five flavors. Five deliciously unfair advantages.

Flavor	Feast	Effect
🍯 Sweet	Sugar Rush	Freeze enemies and digestion for three turns.
🧂 Salty	Big Bite	Devour neighboring dishes without weight and clear nearby pests.
🌶️ Spicy	Fire Breath	Burn your row and column, turning food into Plates.
🍋 Sour	Detox	Reset your stomach to three, clear all mold, restart its timer.
🥔 Starchy	Comfort Food	Recover two health. Sometimes you just need a warm meal.

Store your Feasts and activate them whenever you need them — without spending a turn. Repeat a flavor to build a Plate chain up to ×5, or break the chain for a useful pairing: Sweet → Salty pays extra Plates, while Sour → Salty helps you digest.

🃏 Your pantry is your deck

After each floor, choose one of three rewards:

• Add a passive condiment
• Permanently plate a dish for the current run
• Remove an ingredient from future floors
• Expand your stomach capacity

Plated dishes have a different presentation and grant twice the flavor, healing, and base loot — without extra weight. Between courses, visit The Serving Hatch for healing, a snack, a condiment, or a special pantry delivery.

Six condiments change how you play: Salt, Napkin, Fork, Vinegar, Pepper, and Honey. A single diagonal move, a lifesaving napkin, or an increasingly spicy pantry can turn a desperate dinner into a feast.

🏰 Fifteen floors. Five terrible table manners.

Travel through five zones, each ending with a chef who changes the rules:

Zone	Boss
The Apéritif	The Queen of Flies
The Bakery	The Kneader
The World Grill	Butcher Rat
The Orchard	The Jam Jar
The Pâtisserie	The three-layer Wedding Cake finale

Discover 69 ingredients, outsmart rats, flies, and cockroaches, and reach the final table with your appetite intact.
