Good food is made with love, which is why we've beefed up the romance options for NPCs ❤️ Read on to hear a tale of love, mystery, and some Steamy action!

Are You Ready for Love?
Yes we are!
We're excited to announce that all 30 NPCs are now complete, boasting around 30,000 words of dialogue and a whole bunch of interesting sounds and emotions to go with their colorful personalities.
Each NPC has a distinct personality and storyline, with five of them being romanceable. The romance system has been expanded to include a unique progression path for each character - woo your favorites by gifting them their unique loved dishes.
Besides romance, each character has their own interests and plots and quests which also is a great way to get to know them better.
Each romanceable character has five unique dishes they love, with each person loving food in a certain category, ranging from "oh, I have that in my fridge" to "get ready for a neck-breaking quest to the farthest corner of the nebula for a Legendary ingredient that makes you question all your life choices."
It's up to you to talk with them and figure out what melts their hearts. Or if you like puzzles, you can take a peek at the images in the Gastropedia and maybe, just maybe, you can figure out what it is.
The romance system now comes with a heart-based visual indicator in the Gastropedia, making it easier than ever to track your progress with each character. Here’s how it works:
Transparent Heart - You haven’t given this NPC their unique gift yet. Time to find out what they like!
Normal Heart - You’ve given the NPC one unique gift, and they’re starting to warm up to you. This means that there are new dialog options available.
Big Heart - You’re one step closer to becoming partners - keep those gifts coming!
Pounding Hearts - You're now partners!
When new dialog options are enabled, you need to choose your words wisely to advance your relationship. However, most of the time, you can always try again another day.
A friendly warning though…
Some choices you make might make the NPC and romance opportunity disappear for good, so be careful with your action...
Want to romance multiple persons?
Go ahead, we're not judging, but there might be someone watching with their big ears. We're not saying any names here…
A Mystery as Deep as Space
We spent a good chunk of the summer indoors, behind our bright computer screens, piecing together the main story, and we’re thrilled to say it’s now complete! This grand tale will take you on a journey through shipwrecks, mysteriously abandoned restaurants, and deep into the corporate secrets of Galactic Burger.
We don’t want to spoil too much, but let’s just say the story involves uncovering long-buried [redacted], assembling a mysterious [redacted], and taking down a powerful [redacted] on the [redacted] planet.
The grand finale? Well, you’ll have to play to find out, but trust us - it’s big, it’s exciting, and it’s worth all the work you have to put into it to figure it all out!
(However, when the cutscenes arrive later, it will be even more exciting! Here's a sample from that!)
Hoffman and the Galactic Police Force arrives at the scene! What scene though?
Let's Get Steamy
