To tame them, we need to discover and then exploit their culinary tastes. The assembled team s us in the fight against monsters that cannot be recruited.

Apart from the cooking mechanics, Creature Keeper can offers a plant breeding system. In a portable garden consisting of 25 tiles, we plant the seeds we found. Not only ingredients for dishes grow from them, but also equipment.
