Monster Cuisine

Monster Cuisine is a first-person restaurant management game. The player is on the frontier of an unexplored land, teeming with monsters. They employ monster hunters to track, kill, and harvest monsters in the many regions of the lands for their meat and other body parts along with regional spices and other ingredients. The player then crafts delicious food that they can sell to customers for gold and to a food critic which promotes, The Hungry Hunter Restaurant. Many of these interactions are done through UI and the 3D world.

The hunts will be very risky as some of your hunters can die during the expedition, so construct the team that you think can tackle the region using our 3 different classes.
