Irori

In Irori, players step into the shoes of a chef aboard a cross-lands train, operating out of a quaint irori cabin—a traditional Japanese hearth embedded in the floor, used for cooking and heating. As the train meanders through diverse landscapes, players serve up a heartwarming array of skewered delights to an eclectic mix of travelers. Each passenger brings a unique story and a different taste preference, challenging the chef to prepare a variety of fantasy-inspired skewers using ingredients that could only be found in a magical realm. The gameplay is fast-paced and engaging, with each playthrough lasting between 3 to 5 minutes, perfect for a quick but fulfilling interactive experience.

Culinary Creativity and Heartwarming Interactions

The game’s 2.5D visuals exude a cozy warmth, with soft character designs that invite players to connect emotionally with the game’s setting and its inhabitants. As players grill and serve their skewers, they fill the bellies of their patrons and have the opportunity to interact and engage with them, uncovering bits of each traveler’s background. Accompanying the chef is a charming companion—a small, talking creature who assists in the kitchen and gradually reveals his own intriguing backstory. This interaction adds depth to the gameplay, enriching the player’s experience as they work to master the art of cooking fantasy skewers while listening to tales of adventure and intrigue.
