Krillbite Studio is finest identified for darkish, typically disturbing video games like Among the many Sleep, Mosaic, and the very temporary however intelligent The Plan. However its subsequent sport appears to be one thing very totally different: It is “a culinary meals truck journey” known as Fruitbus.
Fruitbus offers gamers a totally customizable meals truck and units them free in an open world the place they’ll forage for elements, create new recipes, and “feed new associates to unlock distinctive tales and reminiscences.”
Additionally, you are apparently some type of wild animal, though that does not appear particularly related to the narrative as you are additionally capable of drive. And use kitchen utensils.
Your clients, unsurprisingly, are additionally members of the animal kingdom, appropriately anthropomorphized so it does not appear bizarre that they are lining up for meals on their lunch break.
That is a spicy meatball!
It appears very cute and healthful, and truthfully it is obtained me slightly suspicious of the entire thing. Though “curious” may be a greater phrase for it: I do not assume it is a lure, and Krillbite’s earlier sport, the 2021 exploration quick Daylight, demonstrated that the studio is able to greater than creeping grimness. Even so, this actually looks like a pointy and sudden change in course for the studio.
(And as anybody who’s performed The Plan will know, perhaps it’s a lure. It is free on Steam, by the best way, and if you have not skilled it but, I urge you to.)
Fruitbus is presently slated to come back out someday in 2024, and will likely be out there for PC on Steam.
