Luminous Tales has today (November 7, 2025) released the early access version of its new title, [Food Wagon], on Steam. The price is 1,690 yen (tax included), and a 10% discount is available until November 21 as part of a launch celebration sale.
This game follows Rania, the daughter of a retired legendary hero, who sets out on an adventure as the world’s only chef in a realm where cooking is forbidden.
The story begins when Rania, along with her parents running a restaurant, is suddenly transported to another world enveloped by mysterious light. In this land cursed by the gods—where cooking has been banned—Rania embarks on a journey to reclaim lost culinary freedom and find a way back to her original world.

Various monsters inhabit the fields, and players can hunt them to gather ingredients, or collect materials through chopping trees and mining. As Rania grows stronger over time, she can prepare different meals using collected ingredients during expeditions—giving her various buffs. However, since Rania is a light eater, players must consider her fullness level when cooking.
Additionally, leftover ingredients can be brought back to serve meals to townspeople. Prepare a range of dishes—grilling steak using traditional methods, making skewers, or simmering hot soups—to delight everyone’s taste buds. The money earned this way serves as funds for future adventures.
The store page features a demo version that lets players experience the game’s opening story. Those considering purchasing the full title are encouraged to try this demo first.
