Strange Scaffold’s Co-Op Kaiju Horror Cooking Out July 29
PRESS RELEASE – July 16, 2025 – Award-winning indie game studio Strange Scaffold is turning up the heat – literally and figuratively – with today’s reveal of Co-Op Kaiju Horror Cooking, a chaotic online multiplayer romp where medieval monks catapult improvised meals into the maws of rampaging monsters to stave off the apocalypse.
Launching July 29 on Steam for PC, the announcement kicks off the studio’s “Summer of Strange Scaffold” celebration, marking the studio’s seventh release in just two years. A free public playtest is live now on Steam, inviting players to help shape Strange Scaffold’s first multiplayer experience.
Key Features
Flexible tag-based cooking system. Chop ingredients, salt them, burn them – and then fire them into a kaiju’s jaws.
A story about grappling with faith as leaders begin to die off, leaving you to carry the torch, told across 13 levels.
The first-ever multiplayer project from the developers behind Clickolding and I Am Your Beast.
Dramatic medieval soundtrack by award-winning composer David Mason (Dredge, Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3).
Run away from monstrous creatures – and when necessary, turn them into food.
No tomatoes, since they were only introduced to Europe in the 16th century.
Starting today, players will be able to sign up to playtest Co-Op Kaiju Horror Cooking on Steam and play the full game from beginning to end for free over the next two weeks, while it’s fine-tuned and balanced for launch.
Co-Op Kaiju Horror Cooking is Strange Scaffold’s seventh release in two years, following Life Eater, CLICKOLDING, I Am Your Beast, River Heights Mall Gene Splicer: 3000 (a Meow Wolf arcade cabinet), Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown.
