How co-op works

Up to four players share a local or Remote Play kitchen, dividing food preparation and service while designing the café layout and menu. The group can assign simple tasks to summoned undead minions, turning successful coordination into kitchen automation.

About this game

Bone's Cafe puts you in charge of a restaurant where necromancy meets time management. You and up to three friends work together to prepare meals, serve customers, and keep the chaos under control. The twist? You can raise undead workers to help automate parts of your operation, blending kitchen coordination with strategic resource planning.

Customizing your kitchen layout is core to success. You'll arrange stations, specialize your menu around specific ingredients and recipes, and develop a workflow that suits your team. The pressure ramps up quickly, so clear communication and efficient division of tasks are essential. It's the kind of co-op that rewards quick decision-making and on-the-fly problem solving.

Local couch co-op for one to four players is supported, along with split-screen and single-screen modes. Steam Remote Play Together extends the action online. Every session becomes a frantic test of coordination, where one mistake can cascade into a full kitchen meltdown and the best runs feel like a well-oiled machine humming at top speed.
