Cucina Stellata, Horror Cooking Game, Launches Free on Steam
The single-player game from developer Filthy Eden includes Japanese support and a paid supporter pack with Romagna recipes.
Cucina Stellata, a single-player psychological horror game that blends cooking, ritual and cosmic horror, was released for free on Steam on October 21, 2026, according to 4gamer.net. The release includes Japanese language support.
The game takes place in a low-poly, 19th-century Italian-style rural kitchen, where players follow traditional recipes. The twist is that a food ingredient that should not exist ends up in the dishes.
The Steam edition is positioned as a short game and adds new story content and improved playability compared with the earlier version published on itch.io.
A paid supporter pack called Curiosities and Recipes is also available. It contains background on the development and the work's inspirations, along with recipes from Italy's Romagna region.
The store page notes that the game includes depictions of violence, self-harm and disgusting imagery.
