Overcook. Overcode. Overshadowed by the truth.
OverSyntaxed is a single-player browser game where you cook through Java code.
Each level gives players a real Java task tied to a cooking action.
Players write real code → the backend compiles it → animations play → cooking abilities unlock.
These abilities combine in the final levels to assemble a full dish through code.
But as levels progress, as the tasks grow harder, as hidden logs start to appear… The cheerful facade begins to crack.
The cooking tasks aren't just tasks.
Line by line, the truth comes out—until the final twist reframes everything the player thought they were doing.
