What we know about Arcane Eats
Arcane Eats is a roguelike deckbuilder with a cooking twist, developed by Wonderbelly Games and published by Skystone Games.

The Steam page describes hundreds of mythic ingredients and culinary spells for building a deck, magical kitchen tools that modify cards, and a restaurant to manage while recruiting staff. Progress runs through three heroic cooking guilds, and new content unlocks as the player learns customer preferences. The game has no exact release date yet. Steam lists a planned Q1 2027 window, and a playable demo is available.
