How to Use the Kitchen

Cook Food Items with Companions

Players can use the kitchen whenever one of your companions are sitting by the counter with an emoji icon above them. Note that you can only use the kitchen at night, and it will also use up your time.

Unlock Characteristics with Allies

Players can also unlock Characteristics for their allies by doing dorm activities with them three times for the same activity, and this includes cooking in the kitchen!

All companions have two activities you can do with them, so make sure to spend some of your nights with them to make them stronger!
