Get your hands dirty—literally—because Umami Grove is serving up the goods on April 24, 2025. Developed by Pomshine Games and published by DANGEN Entertainment, this lighthearted, physics-driven VR adventure is coming to Steam, Meta Quest, and the PICO Store, with a PSVR2 version on the menu for a later date.
If you’ve ever wanted to juggle a mushroom, climb a tree, and serve soup to a talking vegetable, Umami Grove might just be your next obsession. It’s a cooking game, sure—but it’s also a platformer, a sandbox, and a chaos simulator packed into one adorable, seasonal stew of an experience.
Cook, Climb, and Cause Chaos in VR
In Umami Grove, you’ll explore an open world full of lush, seasonal zones, using VR movement to jump, climb, swing, and even throw your way through ingredient-collecting quests. You’ll cook meals, solve problems (or cause them), and earn golden acorns—because, of course, acorns are currency here.
Thanks to a robust physics system, practically everything you see can be picked up, chopped, thrown, or accidentally destroyed. Your virtual hands will be your best tools—unless, of course, you decide a fish works better.
