A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Cooking Masters sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. Electric refrigeration reached the American mass market in the late 1920s, changing how households stored food and even how desserts such as ice cream could be made at home. It also connects to a different milestone: The Oregon Trail mixed travel, supplies, risk and survival decisions decades before resource-management systems became common in mainstream games. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
