dooby Serves Monsters and Hides the Evidence in Chopped Up, Then Picks Gnomes Over $100 Million

INDEPENDENT — dooby played Chopped Up, a short cooking game in which the player is an assassin disguised as a food vendor, and reached its ending in a single stream. She said she had read Steam reviews saying most players needed about two hours, and chose it for the November cooking season.

The game assigns two targets a day, each marked by a weapon on a poster. She cooked boar steaks, eggs and ale for a parade of monsters, then used a gun, TNT, poison or a Molotov cocktail on the targets and tried to clear every trace before the guards arrived. Early on a missed bone cost her points, and a leftover speck of blood and a stray gun troubled her cleanups. Menu items grew over the days to include blood sausages, steak sandwiches, fried frog legs and salads. A mission through the sewers to recover a missing box left her lost for several minutes. She said she kept wanting to quit the assassin job and serve customers, and at one point she killed the wrong customer.

“My food is so good that they’re holding me at gunpoint. That’s how good it is.” — dooby, as two customers robbed her for a meal

Late in the game a customer asked whether she would rather have 100 million dollars or 1,000 loyal gnomes. She picked the gnomes, and they helped her when the guards charged her with the murders at the restaurant. She said the game appeared to have one ending, and that it felt abrupt, though she thought a sequel was possible. She said she paid about $3 for it during a Steam cooking sale.

She then spent the rest of the stream on Thanksgiving cooking: sweet potato casserole, pecan pie, and a baklava recipe made with rice paper. Chat reacted to the missed bone and the final fight with laughter and cheers.

dooby said she would carry on in the evening on Twitch, with a short karaoke session and possibly another game, and kept that off YouTube so the archive would stay tidy.
