The WhatsNext verdict
Chopped Up is a charmingly nasty little horror game built around an unusually effective cooking-and-assassination premise. Play it if you want a funny, atmospheric two-hour indie horror experience with memorable creatures, but expect a compact campaign rather than a deep simulation.

Some horror sequences are noisy or awkward
The setup
What you are walking into
A cozy horror cooking game with a deadly twist. Serve bizarre fantasy creatures and secretly eliminate targets as an assassin hiding in plain sight. Just keep an eye out for those out to get you.
