Wholesome Food Puzzle Game 'UMAMI' Will Be Serving Up Fun on PC in 2025
Tidy, tinker, and play with your food in upcoming indie game debut
Sheridan, WY (May 14, 2025) - Indie developer Mimmox is delighted to reveal its debut title, the cozy 3D food puzzle game, UMAMI! The studio is cooking up something wholesome and relaxing, and will be ready to serve up a plate later this year.
Watch the UMAMI announcement trailer:
Dive into the delectable world of puzzle delights in UMAMI, where a multi-course meal of 15 cozy scenes awaits. In 15 handcrafted and hand-painted dioramas, you'll affix wooden blocks to a 3D board, rotating, tinkering and testing their placement.
Build mouthwatering dishes including improbably fluffy pancakes drenched in syrup, toothachingly sweet depictions of sugary snacks, and a hearty stack of onigiri made with fresh ingredients. Solve these puzzles and restore dishes made by friendly faces such as Chef Bumblebake, Chef Sushiba, and cooking couple Chefs Honey and Cuddle.
UMAMI is as nourishing to play as these dishes would be to eat. The game is designed to be a soothing and satisfying experience, with puzzles featuring no timers, no pressure, and no warnings of wrong moves. In this stress-free space, play and discovery are the goal, and the dioramas are packed with flavour and secrets such as adorable animals to pet and collectible cards.
