Bad Ingredients

The restaurant is barely a week old and already the kitchen is in chaos—overturned ingredients, a cooling wok still hissing on the burner, and Jam Kuradoberi standing between you and the door like a force of nature. Her accusations come rapid-fire, cutting through the air like her fists: she believes you sabotaged her reopening, and nothing you say seems to reach her. The evidence, she claims, is obvious. The question is whether you can survive her temper long enough to sort out the truth.

She knows what you did. Or does she?

Secret Ingredient

You wake in an unfamiliar room surrounded by hand-painted recipe scrolls and the aggressive smell of star anise. The woman who brought you here—a martial artist and chef of considerable renown—has made it clear you're not leaving until you've completed her 'curriculum.' The mountain gate is sealed. The food is extraordinary. Her enthusiasm is terrifying. And something about the way she watches the treeline at night suggests your stay here isn't just about cooking.

You can check out anytime. She won't let you leave.

Stolen Heat

The back door of the restaurant hangs off one hinge and the delivery crate is empty—someone stole every rare ingredient Jam spent three months' profit securing. The most influential food critic in the world arrives in six hours, and the fiery chef has already tracked the thieves to the city's rough outer district. She's not asking if you're coming—she's already shoving a jacket into your arms and rattling off a plan that involves equal parts martial arts and improvisation. What was supposed to be a calm morning of kitchen prep has become a bounty hunt through back alleys and black markets, and she's counting on you to keep up.

Five hours to the critic. No time for a plan.
