About
Umami Grove is an explorative virtual reality cooking adventure with dynamic controls set in a lush, open world with engaging characters that come to life. Jump, climb, duck, and swing your way through a unique cooking adventure using a powerful movement and interaction system. Forage for ingredients in a visually rich, atmospheric world themed after seasons while completing tasks for quirky NPCs.
In Umami Grove, you’ll face peril and hone your cooking for the greatest prize of all: Gold! – in the shape of acorns. And possibly enchanted? Your Culinary Journey Begins!
Key Features
- Travel a gorgeous world, meet adorable creatures, and cook them! (Or for them, usually.)
- Overcome challenges using your hands and the surrounding environment! Throwing a fish at something probably won’t solve a problem, but you won’t know until you try.
- That tree can be climbed and its apples picked, the mushroom on the table can be dynamically cut! Use a robust physics engine and your own hands to get the full cooking experience.
- Meet a wide cast of characters that you can help in various ways! Help them go back to bed, cook a meal for them, or just please stop accidentally breaking their stuff!
- Ponder what exactly is the deal with these acorns!
