Chef RPG (coming first to Steam early access for PC and Mac) is an open world, restaurant management RPG. Gather ingredients, cook, meet locals, and build the restaurant of your dreams! The project is started by Noah, a former architectural designer. Noah runs the YouTube channel “Pixel Architect,” where he creates game development content to an audience of 175,000 subscribers. The game is primarily solo developed by Noah, assisted by several part-time team members for art, animation, writing, and music.
The game has been in development for 4 years, and was successfully funded on Kickstarter back in December of 2021. The first trailer since the Kickstarter has been unveiled, showcasing brand new gameplay, completely overhauled art, and a peek into the main story of Chef RPG.

Chef RPG’s concept was initially inspired by Gordon Ramsay’s great escape, and draws inspiration from games like Stardew Valley, Restaurant City, and Habbo Hotel. It aims to reinvent the cooking genre by adding a heavy focus on open-world exploration and ingredient gathering, as well as integrating social and slice-of-life gameplay seen in games like Stardew Valley.
Above all else, this game is an open-ended RPG. Players can master the culinary arts and create the most delicious dishes for their customers. Or they can choose to become a brave adventurer and impress their customers with rare ingredients. Or maybe, create a network of friends and grow their business through charisma and marketing.
