The True Ingredients

The True Ingredients is a darkly comedic horror game where you enter a seemingly normal fast-food restaurant, only to uncover a disturbing secret hidden beneath the surface. What starts as a simple order at the counter quickly evolves into a terrifying descent into mystery, featuring puzzles, stealth, and grotesque discoveries.

From Fast Food to Fear

The game begins innocently enough: you’re hungry, and you visit a local burger joint. But something is off. The staff speaks in strange tones, the menu looks suspiciously vague, and your meal tastes… wrong. As you investigate further, you’re abruptly thrown into a hidden underground facility where the real ingredients are revealed. Your goal quickly shifts from curiosity to escape.

Exploration, Tension, and Survival

The True Ingredients combines puzzle-solving with survival horror mechanics. You’ll have to explore dimly lit corridors, avoid dangerous figures, and use logic to unlock doors and uncover files. Jump scares are present but not constant—much of the fear comes from implication and setting. Features include:

• Environmental Clues: Notes, blood stains, and machine logs hint at past experiments.
• Item-Based Puzzles: Find keys, combine objects, and solve codes to progress.
• Multiple Escape Routes: There are several ways to leave the facility, each revealing a different truth.

Making It Out Alive

To survive the horrors of this fast-food nightmare, players must use timing and logic over brute force. Consider the following strategies:

1. Check your corners. Enemies often patrol hallways with limited vision—use this to your advantage.
2. Read every document. Clues often point to codes, safe paths, or hidden tools.
3. Stay calm. Some sequences require precise timing under pressure—panic makes mistakes.

The True Ingredients offers a disturbing spin on consumer culture, wrapped in eerie environments and sharp satire. It’s a game that keeps you guessing, creeping, and questioning every bite until you reach the final door. Whatever’s cooking in the basement, you don’t want to be next on the menu.
