This game contains abstract representations of characters preparing meat and other animal products.
This game uses the crank as well as either the d-pad or A / B buttons, and requires a fair amount of precision with the crank. The controls can be switched to use d-pad and buttons only, without the crank, if desired. Additionally, the in-game timer can be turned off by using no-fail mode for a less stressful experience.
