Our take on GourMelee
The party-game framing may suggest casual drop-in play, but the shared-controller setup requires teammates to coordinate their inputs, and the game needs at least two controllers. Its scope is a collection of cooperative minigames, not a larger campaign.
What is GourMelee?
GourMelee is a local multiplayer party game built around cooperative kitchen minigames.
Players chop, sear, and eat their way through a collection of challenges, with each player holding part of a controller and working with a teammate. It supports 2–8 players and requires at least two controllers. Play is local multiplayer only, with no online mode described.
