Nainai’s Recipe
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
This is a demo of Nainai’s Recipe, we are still in development! You can find us @NainaiRecipe where we do progress updates and share tech & art stuff!
Open your fridge, choose the ingredients, examine, chop, seasoning, heat, and taste them. During the lockdown, you start to learn how to cook from your dear grandma.
Nainai’s Recipe is a game that captures the cooking feeling in stylized visuals. And a family story about how we lived together in a special way during the pandemic.
- Maximum control - no preset ingredient slice texture, no performance-oriented steps, we want you to enjoy cooking a meal from start to finish.
- Food to a larger food tradition - We curated a stylized kitchen with strong flavor about a Chinese kitchen, including appliances, condiments, and food choices.
- Bonding moment with Nainai - During this difficult period of time, you will have more chance than ever to talk to your Nainai and know her story!

中文介绍
奶奶的菜谱
打开你的冰箱，选择食材，观察，切开，调味，加热，然后尝尝看。隔离的日子里，跟奶奶学做菜。
奶奶的菜谱是一个关注烹饪的真实体验的游戏。也是一个关于我们如何在 2020 年用一种特殊的方式生活在一起的家庭故事。
- 充分自由度 - 游戏不使用预设的食材状态，玩家可以自由的控制做饭的流程，用自己的方法做出不同的食物。
- 中国美食的传统 - 食物与文化紧密相关，它不仅仅在多样的厨具，厨房的外貌，也在于做饭的程序，食材的搭配，食物的味道等等。我们希望在方方面面上捕捉到它们。
- 奶奶的故事 - 菜谱也通过家庭传承。长大后就和奶奶没有什么共同话题了，希望能借着学做菜的机会多聊几句。听到她的故事，再次认识奶奶。
奶奶的菜谱是我们在纽约大学游戏中心（NYU Game Center）的毕设作品。游戏已支持中文。目前还在继续开发中，你也可以在 Steam 加入心愿单关注游戏的发布消息。

I really like the way in which the narrative progresses, especially since there are hidden messages that reveal what happens in between levels if you scroll up. Everything about the UI and general navigation is expertly done in this game. I'm really looking forward to the full release.
wont let me play the game :{
this is just so wonderful, i absolutely adore how the UI is integrated into the world and an integral part of it, so well thought out
nice game, wished there was a sandbox version or smth and more foods like noodles and dumpling
love this game! most cooking games i see have some sort of time limit or something, but this one is cozy and nice! 8\10!
I don’t understand it? am on my iPad. I already downloaded it but it’s not working
this game is very cool! i love the way cooking feels physical and is really enjoyable, so i was sad to see the demo end! i would love to play the full game :D
做的不错有点意思，不过为啥没后续了
its not downloading for me im a mac user and yes my popup blocker is disabled
i love this kind of game, i hope it get finish soon⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
i really like this game!! someone recommended this and told me it was great, and it did not disappoint!! ;3
would I have to download this game to my Mac? it looks quite good but I'm unable to just play??
A lot of games on mac can be "locked" due to mac not trusting things you download from the internet. Go into finder and hit control then open on the game, then open again when it pops up! Hope this helps :)
Oops nevermind I now see what the issue is lol
I am a Chinese, and I really like this game because it is very easy to take up!
I noticed all the other mac players mentioned issues with the mouse, but not what it is. The specific issue is reaction timing with mouse and keys, it's really slow and the sensitivity was significantly lowered.
The game looks super cute so I hope we'll be able to play soon!
please solve the bug on mac its really frustrating
im on mac and had trouble with my mouse? anyone else? the movement was delayed and i couldn't play :/
same
me2
Super fun. i enjoyed it!! i wish there are more games exactly like this, very detailed and precise cooking<333
Loved your game! I loved all the sounds of the cooking too! I just suck at cooking haha- Added this to a cozy compilation! 7:27 - 25:27
希望能有更多的厨具使用选项
比如用刀拍蒜
以及，希望更早上线steam
Is there any way to get peas on day 2?
ive probably made about 30 meals. I can make so many things out of tofu, chips, crisps, sandwich, cheese squares
Such a cool game! Concept is amazing and executed quite well. My only setback was the chopping. I was wondering if it would be possible to have a "mince" option while you're cutting your veggies. It became very tedious trying to mince garlic and having to slice everything manually. If there was a way to just automatically cut faster that would make things much easier. Thank you!!!
I agree there should definitely be a mince option, but I also really like chopping things really thin
Oh me too! That’s why I wish there was a toggle so you can switch between the two, kinda like real life.
朋友，我是中国人，我可以很负责任的说，在中国，中等以及以下阶层的厨房，厨具是很少的，你必须用一把菜刀完成绝大多数的食材处理工作
more options plz
That was a great relaxing game. Mixed between cooking and texting with someone that cares about you.
I look forward to the full game. The physics are great and the story is nice. What matters most to me is gameplay and story, not graphics.
This would be an great VR game if the developer is thinking of taking that route.
I love it, its so cute and cozy. it just makes me so happy haha. Awesome game
This game is so cute and fun!, i wish when you ate the food it didn't have the long name but other than that it is super fun!. i would love to see more levels soon!!
this game is really cute and i wanted to try it out more, but on a m1 mac pro for some reason it is incredibly laggy which makes it basically unplayable
oh man! i loved it! thank you! i'm going to ask my family toshare their favourite recipies and cook them! <33

Will this cost money in the future?
how can I access the app?
I am currently on my IPhone, i transferred the file to my tablet as well and it continues to not work. I cannot go into the file, the original download I tapped and an “application” downloaded next to the original file. I then tried to access that file by tapping on it, I fiddled around with it for roughly half an hour and it still isn’t working. What can I do to fix this?
there is no iphone version
This is absolutely amazing, and I hope it ends up with an endless mode, but also once you get to the chopping portion on the game, it starts to get really really laggy.
aaaaa i luv this game, it soo cozy & relaxing; can't wait for its final release!
Lovely game, I absolutely enjoyed it! It has got such a cozy atmosphere :o
谁能告诉我iPad可以玩吗，下载了不能安装
只能用电脑TvT
tried this game and it is such a great experience! I cant wait for more espically cooking. I might learn how to cook dishes thanks to this lol
is this still in development or has it been scrapped? hope its still being worked on as id love to play more!!!
为什么我进入颠锅状态退出任不了，没有任何按键提示
右键点击即可
这确实是一个小bug，我在第一天还没过完剧情时炒菜也会有退出不了的问题，试试强制退出
ahhh this was so fun!!! nowdays theres so little fun cooking games
yeah! Always love cooking game\(￣︶￣*\)
anybody know what to press after i download it and open the file?? :/
Dude, you need to unzip the package, then find the NaiNai Recipe.exe, open it and everything would go well.
how to unzip the package T_T
