Overcooked highlights the struggle of working in a restaurant, and anything that paints the working class as anything other than lazy freeloaders is political. /s
Doesn't it do more than that, pretty sure there's some kind of evil king profiting off the land and abusing the peasants of some sorts, I'll be honest the story wasn't my number one priority when I played it so memories are a little fuzzy...
Maybe overcooked is the game the capitalists want, politically. You have employees willing to work even as the kitchen careens through the sky out of control or down a rushing waterfall with no OSHA involvement and docked pay for every failed order regardless of distraction. Employees work more for gold stars than any real salary. And they never take bathroom breaks
