01 Studio has released a playable demo for 2 Cooks 1 Mess, a chaotic online multiplayer cooking game focused on teamwork, role coordination, and escalating kitchen madness.
In 2 Cooks 1 Mess, players work together in a shared restaurant environment, taking on roles such as cooking, serving, cleaning, and managing unexpected events. Kitchens grow increasingly difficult as orders pile up, layouts evolve, and chaos threatens to break even the best-organized teams.

Alongside player cooperation, the game features NPC staff management, allowing teams to hire, assign, and coordinate AI-controlled workers to support the kitchen. Balancing player actions with NPC behavior becomes a key part of keeping the restaurant efficient as pressure increases.
The demo introduces players to the game’s core multiplayer experience, offering a hands-on look at how larger teams must communicate, delegate tasks, and adapt on the fly to survive the chaos.

- Online multiplayer gameplay designed for larger teams
- NPC staff management, including task assignment and coordination
