In Beastro, play as Panko, a young, talented chef helping to run the local eatery. When Panko’s teacher goes missing, a mysterious visitor arrives with warnings of the dangers beyond the wall. It's up to Panko to step up and take over the restaurant, farm and forage for ingredients and tend to patrons. But that’s not all, Panko also finds himself serving the Caretakers; brave adventurers sent to save the world. In this adventure, preserving peace starts in the kitchen. Through cooking minigames Panko will chop, sizzle and flip his way to success
Trouble is stirring beyond the village walls, and it’s up to Panko to make sure visiting Caretakers are battle-ready. Each Caretaker hails from their own flavor region, affecting their own tastes and preferences: some like it bitter, some like it sweet and some are just looking to fulfil their craving of the day. Craft thoughtful meals and balance the flavor profiles to boost their spirits, sharpen their skills and unlock new abilities. After devouring their favorite dish and unlocking various cards to curate their deck of attacks and abilities, Caretakers will set off from Palo Pori to wield their new abilities against the ravenous monsters just beyond the wall.
Upon the Caretakers’ return from their expeditions, players will relive and act out their adventures through a puppet show featuring turn-based battles, careful decision making and monstrous spoils to cook up later. Success awaits adventurers who carefully plan their attacks and prepare ahead of time – after all, nobody can save the day on an empty stomach.
Prepare to cook up a storm and support the heroes of Palo Pori when Beastro launches in 2026 on PC and Xbox Series X|S. For more information, visit www.beastro.game
