Strange Scaffold Launches Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking on Steam

Seventh Strange Scaffold game in two years catapults medieval meals into giant monster mouths

El Paso, TX – July 29, 2025 – Dinner is served – catapult-style. Award-winning indie game studio Strange Scaffold and publisher Frosty Pop are proud to release Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking, a chaotic online multiplayer romp where medieval monks catapult improvised meals into the maws of rampaging monsters to prevent the apocalypse. The game is out now on Steam for PC with a limited-time launch discount.

Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking is exactly what the name suggests. In this absurdist online multiplayer horror game, players take on the role of medieval monks – the only chefs who can prevent the apocalypse. Feed enormous monsters with a catapult, evade supernatural enemies, and navigate a reality-bending labyrinth with up to four players (or more, if you want to risk your computers/sanity) before time runs out.

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 your faith as your 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.


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.

“I can’t thank the people who have been participating in the open playtest of Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking enough,” says studio head Xalavier Nelson Jr. “Their enthusiasm and discussion around what we’ve made will be the foundation of the post-launch support we’ve got planned for the game, and the wider relationship of creative and production transparency that we want to continue at Strange Scaffold in the future. Our players aren’t just in the room for one game—we’re inviting them into our entire creative journey across the studio.”

Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking is out now on Steam for PC with a launch discount of 40% off. Players can also grab it as part of the "Summer of Strange Scaffold" bundle, which includes Life Eater, CLICKOLDING, I Am Your Beast, Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown, and Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking for 30% off, stacked with the new launch discount for a limited time.
