About Umami Grove
A deliciously interactive VR journey awaits! Jump, climb, duck, and swing through vibrant locales on a quest to help cute characters gather luscious ingredients and create mouthwatering dishes, hands-on!
Set in a lush, open world, Umami Grove invites players into a comfy cooking adventure that utilizes a powerful locomotion and interaction system. Complete tasks for a quirky cast of NPCs while you forage for ingredients in a visually rich, atmospheric environment themed after seasons.

FEATURES
-
Travel a gorgeous world, meet adorable creatures, and cook them! (Or for them, usually.)

Overcome challenges using your hands and the surrounding environment! Throwing a fish at something probably won’t solve a problem, but you won’t know until you try!

That tree can be climbed and its apples picked. The mushroom on the table can be dynamically cut. Use a robust physics engine and your own hands to get the full cooking experience!
-
Meet a wide cast of characters that you can help in various ways. Cook a meal for them, help them go back to bed, or just please stop accidentally breaking their stuff!
-
Ponder what exactly is the deal with these acorns!
Umami Grove is set to serve up an unforgettable VR adventure on January 27, 2026. Mark your calendars, sharpen your virtual knives and prepare for the tastiest trip of the year!
