We're proud to be cooking up Soup for Soul, a narrative simulator where you serve your guests warmth and advice from a seasoned chef’s POV 🍜👨‍🍳

Have you ever had a meal that made you look at life a little differently?

"Just make it exist first, you can make it good later." That's our motto these days as we are working intensively on our game's vertical slice.
As a passionate perfectionist not an easy task for me tbh 😆

Soup for Soul: Assassin's Creed Edition 😅

Sometimes I don’t make life easy for our game programmer Valeria. She’s constantly putting out fires I start as an artist. Luckily she’s incredibly patient with me, which I really appreciate as much as her firefighting skills.

Sometimes we need a short break from this noisy world. That's when the task of coloring our beautiful Japanese street view artwork comes in quite handy 🍜☔

We are currently working on our protagonist, whose role you take on as a ramen chef. That's why you play in a 1st-person perspective in which you can only see your hands. First movement test animation in progress.

Misaki is the first character of our game to get a dedicated concept artwork 🖌️🩷
In Soup for Soul, you can get to know her and find out more about her newly adopted after-school activities!

A hot bowl of ramen isn't just good for the soul, it's also the perfect remedy for a slight hangover after events like the "Deutscher Computerspielpreis". 😅

After the rain, our chef sits outside for a quiet breath.
The street is still glistening, the clouds slowly part. Soon, the warm glowing windows and the aroma of broth will draw in the next wave of hungry souls. 🌧️🍜✨

Over the past three weeks, I (Annika) have been on what was originally intended to be just a vacation, but then turned out to be quite the inspirational trip: I went to Japan! 🌸⛩️

So, keep your eyes peeled for some more or less ramen-related photos coming your way 🍜🍥

In our game "Soup for Soul", you will take on the role of the owner and chef of a small, cozy ramen bar in a bustling Japanese city. 🍜🌆

With every passing day and every soup you cook, you will learn more about the everyday life, wishes, and sorrows of your guests, such as the young artist Tsubaki.

Hello! 👋
We are Peas & Quiet 🫛, a game dev studio from Hamburg, Germany ⚓ consisting of:

Vanessa👩‍🎨Art & Creative Design ➔ @vanessa-zeeb-art.bsky.social
Valeria👩‍💻Programmer & Tech Artist
Annika✍️Writer & Producer ➔ @kiwimg.bsky.social

We'd be stoked to have you accompany us on our peasful journey 💚

At the end of 2024, we unfortunately had to let go of three of our team members. Sadly, nothing we tried to maintain the team had worked out.

While it hurts to loose these three, I'm so very happy they received public funding and are now founding their own studio Peas & Quiet. Follow them!

At the end of 2024, right in between eating my weight in cookies and procrastinating on decluttering my apartment, THIS happened 🤯 Which means a huge chunk of my 2025 will be filled with new and exciting and super cool stuff with awesome people ❤️ Also, taxes! (And probably still no decluttering.)
