Kinny and the Cosmic Cauldron

Kinny and the Cosmic Cauldron (AppID 3330210) is now available on Steam, following a wishlist run that reached 36,000 ahead of launch.

The game casts players as a witch chef at a restaurant called Stewpendous Spoons, where ingredients are dropped into the Cosmic Cauldron and interact through physics — bouncing, colliding, merging, and transforming. The core loop is deckbuilding: construct an ingredient deck, chase synergies, and serve a rotating cast of patrons before the cauldron claims you.

What the full release includes

  • 261 ingredients to discover and combine
  • 110 cosmic artifacts to collect
  • 50+ deck archetypes to experiment with
  • 40 customers with unique personalities and 60+ customer visit stories
  • 10+ elite bosses and a final Cosmic Boss battle
  • A complete story mode described as taking approximately 10 hours to finish, with individual runs lasting around 30 minutes
  • Four difficulty settings, from a self-described cozy mode to what the announcement calls brutal cosmic chaos

The game is also Steam Deck Verified as of launch.

For players who have been watching the wishlist, the breadth of content at release — particularly the volume of ingredients, artifacts, and customer stories — suggests the developers banked considerable depth before shipping.
