Not your typical cooking management sim

Ravenous Devils is a premium simulation game for PC created by Bad Vices Games. It has a blend of management and cooking mechanics in its gameplay, with a sprinkling of horror elements. In it, players own a restaurant that serves delicious meals with humans as ingredients.

Just like Godlike Burger or Project Zomboid, Ravenous Devils puts its own twist on the concept of cooking and results in some sinister culinary creations. A demo is available to give players a preview of what they can expect from the story and gameplay in the full version.

Devilishly delectable

Addressing the elephant in the room right away, Ravenous Devils is definitely putting out some Sweeny Todd vibes. From its Victorian setting to its character design and art style, it’s not hard to understand why comparisons with the classic horror film would be made. It tells the story of Percival and Hildred who run a tailor shop and a restaurant that utilizes an exotic ingredient for its dishes: humans.

You will manage both businesses and ensure they’re operating smoothly. Help Percival welcome new clients looking for new suits and dresses, and kill them at the right moment. Strip them of their belongings and push them down a trap door leading to the kitchen. Meanwhile, assist Hildred in creating dishes made from the grounded flesh of humans to serve hungry customers.

To help your businesses attract more people and increase your reputation, upgrade your equipment and come up with new recipes to keep your customers happy—they are always right, after all. Just be aware that the game offers a short-lived experience. Depending on your pace, a typical playthrough will only last you a few hours. Also, things can get pretty gory for some, hence player discretion is advised.

Savor every morsel

If you’re a fan of the classic Sweeney Todd horror film and wondered what it would be like if a video game was made about it, Ravenous Devils is the closest thing you’ll see to an official adaptation. It’s dark, violent, and gripping—much like the horror movie that inspired it. The only unfortunate thing is that it’s too short. Nevertheless, this is a must-play.
