Hot Pot for One is a bittersweet game about making hot pot alone on Christmas Eve. It aims to capture the loneliness of being away from home, and the sweet comfort of food that takes us back to the good times. The most common compliment we got for the game, other than the strong emotional connection, is how satisfying it is to look at the realistic graphics and interact with the detailed environment and objects in the kitchen.
