Project Takeout

Background

In the afterlife, the obsessions of the deceased take form as special "Netherworld Deliveries"—orders waiting to be fulfilled. You play as a rookie spirit courier, piloting a smart delivery drone named Kaka. Your job? Deliver the final wishes of souls to restaurants and places of the underworld: a favorite bowl of noodles for a grieving family, or a treasured pastry to a wandering ghost, helping them find peace and move on.

Resource Management

The spirit realm is divided into zones, with deeper areas bringing more complex routes and increasingly difficult tasks. Each delivery tests your time and route planning, triggering unique story branches and hidden events. Dialogue, puzzle-solving, and careful supply management are key to completing time-limited deliveries and earning points to unlock new abilities and dishes.

Retro Pixel Art

Rendered in retro pixel style, the game blends a dark fairytale aesthetic with whimsical, eerie underground locales. An expanding modular map and storyline system allows for seamless additions of new chapters and hidden content.

Implicit Narrative

Between the worlds of the living and the dead, each successful delivery peels back the memories and emotions of the departed, inviting players to reflect:
If life becomes a final meal, what truly is our destination?
