What makes the chumpets from cooking companions different?

Why did these four kids go on to become these adorable little kawai vegetables

instead of horrifying ghosts like everyone else does in this series?

Well, after three years we finally have ourselves a sequel,

and with it, another quack-pot theory. I'm going to Hello internet.

Welcome to Game Theory, the show that never dreads the weight of law.

And there's a lot weighing on my shoulders today because we are once again exploring the

deep world of Slavic folklore with our adorable vegetable friends.

That's right, we're talking about the sequel to the indie horror dating sim cooking companions.

The visual novel turned horrific cannibal nightmare fuel taking place in the 1930s.

In that game we took on the role of the Baba Yaga, an immortal witch from Slavic folklore that feeds on people that stumble upon her cabin in the Tartras mountains.

Slowly we end up eating our latest potential romantic companions.

They do say the quickest way to someone's heart is

through their stomach. These characters then go on to haunt us as we continue our

slaughter. However, they aren't the only things that are haunting us. Throughout the

games we are also introduced to the chompets.

Sentient kawai vegetables that want to play games, help us out, and stop us from killing more people,

mostly. One of them, potato, is actually quite okay with the whole murder thing, so long

as he can get his hands on something he calls the secret. We've had ideas about what this secret

could be for a while now, with the most likely one being that it's the Baba Yaga's ability to live forever.

But now we've got ourselves a sequel, Dreadweight, and it not only reveals what the secret really is,

it also finally answers a question that we have had since the beginning of this series.
