Our guidance
How do I prepare ingredients for Toufic?
You must gather vegetables like carrots and potatoes, then use the cutting board minigame to perform specific knife techniques. You are graded on your timing for each cut, so aim for perfect strikes to build your combos.
What is the best way to handle infected intruders?
You can use various kitchen tools like frying pans or mops to fight. While blunt objects knock enemies down, you must use a blade to ensure they stay down permanently. Always keep your tools clean afterward.
The game features persistent gore. If you do not clean up blood pools or meat scraps with your mop, the mess remains on the floor, affecting the environment until you decide to wash the area clean.
Which specific vegetable preparation techniques are available in the minigame?
To satisfy Toufic's high standards, you must master several real knife techniques at the cutting board. These include slices, julienne, dice, and brunoise. Each cut is graded individually, so focus on timing to achieve perfect strikes.
Pig visits the mansion every morning to supply you with essential items. He scours the world ravaged by the outbreak to find newly infected individuals and brings them to the mansion along with the kitchen tools you require.
Once an enemy is defeated, you can use the cleaver to dismember the body joint by joint. This process occurs in a brutal minigame where meat and blood will fly across the kitchen tiles for you to collect.
After you finish the dismembering minigame, you must maintain kitchen hygiene. Wash your bloody blades at the sink and use your mop to clean the floor before the next course arrives to ensure the environment remains usable.
The game utilizes classic survival horror mechanics. You will navigate the mansion using tank controls while viewing the environment through fixed camera angles, which is designed to evoke the aesthetic of late-nineties survival horror titles.
Which rooms are available to explore in the mansion?
You can explore several distinct areas within the mansion, including the kitchen, the hall, the dining room, the gallery, and the cell block located below. Be cautious, as not every door you encounter should be opened.
What happens to the stockpot during the cooking process?
Once you have successfully prepped your ingredients using the cutting board minigame, you must drop them into the stockpot. This pot is kept simmering on the range, ready to receive the items you have prepared for Toufic.
