You are alone on a cold, Christmas night, stuck at home, in a foreign country. You get through it by cooking a hot dish intended for six people. Hot Pot For One is a game about the bitterness of lonely times, and the sweet comfort of food that keeps us going. It is inspired by our personal experience as international students living far away from your friends and family.

    - Ryan Lambie, Wireframe

  • "An endearing and thought-provoking little experience."
    - Rachael Brearton, indieHive
