DISCLAIMER: The game in it's state is unfortunately 'a rough cut', and there are some bugfixes that will be deployed soon within the alloted period by the gamejam. Please be patient and be sure to check back for the intended experience.

NOTE: As of current, the game cannot be progressed after picking up all of the notes and getting stuck during the Emil Nutmeg quest.

PS: Bottom of the page includes some fun facts we weren't able to put into the game.

A Rough Cut  is a game that was developed for the second Brackey's Game Jam of 2026. It is a point-and-click narrative game about a restaurant in France where the head chef has just been murdered - and you, the recently appointed sous chef, need to save the restaurant and figure out the mystery of... the missing recipe?

The game can be fully enjoyed with a mouse or any device that supports touchscreen.

Fun facts!

• We really wanted to have each character be very distinct in the way they are opinionated about food, so for the narrative, we decided to have each character inspired by various food cultures based on the heritages of the team. We've got Emilio being hispanic, Louis and Vivienne being french, Asura being from Luxembourg, Eleni being mixed persian and greek, Ahmed being mixed African and Puerto Rican, and Daisy being British! The waiter is Dutch, but pretends like he's french. Unfortunately ,we didn't get to show this dialogue yet off in the game cause it's being workshopped, and we couldn't add it due to jam deadline. We'll add it after the jam officially concludes!
• The waiter has a very exciting life that we just never get to see on screen and it's so funny
• Additionally there were going to be minigames during the main cooking portions, and 3 quests with the appetizer, main course and desert, that were originally planned for the game
