Are there any plans for Valentine’s Day on? From tomorrow to February 16, the devastation of the cooperative game Overcoat 2 will be playable at no extra cost to anyone with a Nintendo Switch Online membership – “just in time for Valentine’s Day!”
Overcoat 2 is a game that prepares meals in the pressure cooker environment of a busy kitchen. Players must gather ingredients, chop vegetables, cook meat, wash dishes, try not to burn anything, if you do, put out fires and deliver finished meals to the front of the house. Levels have different environmental challenges. Oh, yes, you are fixed too.
Of course, it’s about “cooking.” But if anyone who played can testify, Overcoat 2 is not really over cooking. It is over communication and coordination. It’s about increasing the heat and increasing the tension. It’s about seeing who has what’s needed – and who’s not. Overcoat 2 test the collaboration skills and bonds between people and eventually break them like a stack of thin ceramics being chased during a dinner party.
“Just in time for Valentine’s Day!” The people at Nintendo know what they’re doing. May your love be strong enough to survive the glove.
