Though terrific video game adaptations of popular movies and TV showsdo exist,those seem to require the presence of lots of guns, high-octane action, a gripping mystery, or a mix of the three. You likely didn’t expect a great video game adaptation of a TV series about cooking such asThe Bearto be in the cards — and that’s absolutely correct.Nobodydid a video game adaptation ofThe Bear, butMichael Kandeland his palJoe Miciakwent through the trouble of modelling the entire world of the show, writing a bunch of hilarious voice lines, and voicing the characters to make a video of a fake and hilarious video game adaptation of the hit show.
The Bearis a mainstay in conversations about the best shows of the past few years. It does a great job of portraying true love for a craft, and the toll that it might take on one’s personal life. The show’s most memorable aspect, however, is remaining hilarious and even heart warming despite most of the dialogue being delivered by someone angrily screaming into their mic.
The first immediately hilarious moment ofThe Bear The Gameis the difficulty settings menu. True to the show, Normal difficulty entails having every character screaming at every other character the entire time. “No Rush” difficulty, the option picked in the video, takes fans to a never-before-seen side of the show, a kitchen where Aphex Twin’s soothingSelected Ambient Worksplays in the background and everyone is nice the entire time.

The Bear’sfake video game has guns, too
This is a game, though, and one that seems to be aiming at greatness, so guns naturally show up at some point. I’m still only halfway into season 3 of the show, but I risk saying that the part of the game where Chicagoan Dogs break into the kitchen and you have to shoot them to death is the game just taking some artistic liberty.
You thought I was kidding, didn’t you? Still, don’t get fooled into thinking the game isonlyabout killing dogs. There are many other hilarious references to the show that I won’t spoil but, all in all, the most surreal part remains how everyone is just so goddamn nice and reassuring the entire time.
While I didn’t like the idea of killing dogs even beforeThe Last Of Us Part 2taught me that it was wrong, I’d really like to get a chance to playThe Bearon No Rush mode. That’s not even because of my love for the show and the art of cooking in general — it’s because this looks like a version ofOvercookedthat I’d actually enjoy playing.
you’re able to’t playThe Bearon any platform, but you can watch it on FX and Hulu.
