Uncle Lee's Cookbook (demo)

Uncle Lee has done it again. And again. And again. And again. And again. It’s up to you to pick up the pieces.

Join rebellious teen Ines as she deals with the fallout of her uncle Lee’s experiments/inventions/cooking—only you can help her save the universe!

Experience five episodes of reality-bending puzzles, witty dialogues, weird characters, and gorgeous pixel art (no, you are biased) in a wonderful package of point & click gloriousness. You get all of the adventures of Ines and uncle Lee for the first time all together, revised and improved, and most importantly WITH VOICES. What more could you want?

Uncle Lee's Cookbook contains revised, enhanced, and voiced version of our previous Ines & uncle Lee games. The demo covers the first part of the fourth episode in the game, The founders of [redacted].

The full game will be published by Dionous Games.
