Lunchy

In the game Lunchy, the setting is an eerie, after-hours snack factory where you, the player, are accidentally locked in. Your mission is straightforward yet daunting: assemble a meal from scattered ingredients to quell your growing hunger and find a way out. However, the factory isn’t as empty as one might hope. It’s patrolled by the three Lunchy mascots, each whimsically dangerous after dark. These characters, designed to be the friendly faces of the brand during the day, transform into cunning obstacles by night, each protecting the very ingredients necessary for your culinary escape.

Game of Cat and Mouse

Navigating through the factory’s levels becomes a game of cat and mouse as you employ physics-based mechanics to manipulate your environment. Objects can be moved to block paths, create hiding spots, or distract the roaming mascots. Each level is themed around a specific mascot, offering unique challenges that test your problem-solving skills and stealth. The ultimate challenge lies in combining the right ingredients to craft the perfect Lunchy meal and consuming it, which bizarrely is the only way to unlock the exit and secure your freedom. Developed in just a week by 12th Hour and featured prominently on his YouTube channel, this game is a testament to the imaginative possibilities within indie game development, blending elements of strategy, stealth, and surreal humor to create an engaging experience.
