Your Culinary Journey Begins

Umami Grove is a physics-based VR adventure wherein you’ll face peril and hone your cooking for the greatest prize of all: Gold! In the shape of acorns. And possibly enchanted?

Features

Travel a gorgeous world, meet adorable creatures, and cook them! (Or for them, usually.)
Overcome challenges using your hands and the surrounding environment! Throwing a fish at something probably won’t solve a problem, but you won’t know until you try.
That tree can be climbed and its apples picked, the mushroom on the table can be dynamically cut! Use a robust physics engine and your own hands to get the full cooking experience.
Meet a wide cast of characters that you can help in various ways! Help them go back to bed, cook a meal for them, or just please stop accidentally breaking their stuff!
Ponder what exactly is the deal with these acorns!

More than just a cooking game

This game is a little hidden gem, personally I was expecting something along the lines of some sorta peaceful Animal Crossing meets Cooking Mama vibes. There’s way more to it though, it’s got a Legend of Zelda element going for it, too. The climbing and exploration certainly make it fun to just try find little goodies like money flowers stashed around. I spent only an hour into it and I really am enjoying it. It’s accessible both standing up and sitting down. The characters are unique and memorable. Overall, I’d say it’s worth every penny.

I love this game! graphics aren’t fantastic but everything works well and the characters are all lovely! my only issue with it is I wish there was a good crouch button, but I really love this game and I wanna see more of it!

Holy underrated

I usually don’t leave reviews for VR games, but I’ll make an exception for this one. I am astonished at how great this game is. The physics are great, the characters are neat, and the overall vibe is amazing. How this game only has 4 reviews is beyond me.
