Epic Games Store is offering Overcooked for this week"s giveaway, replacing Last Day of June.
Overcooked originally released in 2016, developed by the two-person team at Ghost Town Games. It"s a local couch coop game designed to be played with friends, challenging them to work together and prepare food, as per the orders that drop for them, to the best of their abilities.
It comes with support for shared screen gameplay on PC as well as controller support. Overcooked was received favorably by players and critics alike at its launch, winning the BAFTA for "Family" category in 2017. Here"s how the Epic Games Store describes the title:
