Your hunger meter is always draining, so you need to eat, but the plate before you might contain ingredients that can cause a fatal allergic reaction. Eat not, Want not is a psychological horror survival game where your survival and death depend on whether you dare to trust the stranger cooking across from you.
The Battle of Wits: Perspective and Observation
Observation of Chef’s Actions
The cook always tries tricks to hide the forbidden ingredients by turning his back, stirring the pot quickly, or putting dark sauces in. Players have to keep their eyes darting from the plate to the stove to catch him sneaking an allergen into the dish. A single second of inattention can cost you your life if you eat the toxic meal.
Sounding Smarter Than Him
But it’s not just visuals playing out in this battle of wits. The sound of cracking eggs, clinking spice jars, or sizzling grease is a direct clue before the dish is served. You can, if you watch closely, isolate the ingredients added to the plate, even when the chef tries to use his body deliberately to block your view.
Eat not, Want not Control Reference
Learning the controls allows you to react quickly to the cook’s traps:
- W key or Up Arrow: Search.
- S Key or Down Arrow: Look down at the table.
- Spacebar: quickly change viewing angles.
- Left Mouse Button: interact or accept the dish served.
- Right Mouse Button: Drop the fork to reject a suspicious dish.
Survival Tips for Gamers
- Constantly shift your gaze between the cooking pot and the dining table, quickly pressing the space bar to keep a moving picture instead of staring at one spot.
- Heck, just hover that finger over the right mouse button so you can drop your fork the minute you hear an allergenic ingredient—before the plate even arrives.
- Say no to a dish only if you’re positive it contains an allergen. Not eating a plate causes your hunger meter to drop, which reduces your survival time.
Eat not, Want not has a simple point-and-click interface, but manages to build a very suspenseful atmosphere.
