Permanent death. No meta-progression carrying over. You earn a new dish after every monster battle. Monster tastes are shown before each encounter rather than discovered through play. At the start you pick a princess variant: Basic, Random, Stinky, Clumsy, Diet, or Lazy. Then you're in with no safety nets.

Demo update 0.2.21
If you're playing the free demo, this update brings a lot of new content. Banquet mode is now in the demo. And for the first time, the modes and modifiers from the main game are also available to try:
Vanilla - the standard experience, same as the demo has always been
Spicy - harder. Potions and seasonings don't persist on death, biomes scale up on revisits
Culinary modifier - dishes are consumed when served. Run out and you draw Pottage. Horrors drop ingredients to keep you going
Gourmet modifier - no RNG tastes. Every Horror's preferences shown before you face them
Culinary and Gourmet can be stacked together. If you haven't tried the demo yet, now's a good time.
