Eatime launched on August 21 as a Chinese-cuisine strategy puzzle built around scheduling an entire meal. Players read recipes, assign chefs and cookware, then drag cooking steps onto a timeline so several dishes finish at the right moment instead of relying on rapid button inputs.

Eatime: confirmed details

The full release includes 38 levels and 103 dishes. Six main chapters are joined by themed collections such as Afternoon Tea and a Reunion New Year’s Eve Dinner. Every plan must account for prerequisites, cooking duration and limited equipment, turning a crowded kitchen into a sequencing problem.

What changes for players

A timeline makes delays visible before the cooking begins, so the central skill is finding parallel tasks without creating a conflict over one pan or chef. Familiar home dishes can introduce the logic before larger banquet levels demand coordination. The absence of reflex pressure also makes careful revision a valid strategy.

Timing and wider context

Astral Rite developed and published Eatime. Steam lists the game as casual, simulation and strategy, reflecting its focus on planning rather than realistic manual preparation. The August 21 release is available now; players should check the live language list because understanding recipe instructions is essential.

The feature list and timing above reflect the developer’s announcement published on August 21, 2026. Future hotfixes can adjust balance or availability, so live values should be checked against the current client.

For Eatime, the practical checkpoint is the live client: confirm the installed version, platform notes and regional rollout before relying on a scheduled feature. Store availability, maintenance windows and certification can create timing differences even when the developer announces one date for the wider release.
