Overcooked is a cooperative cooking game developed by Ghost Town Games and published by Team17, first released in 2016. Players work together in increasingly absurd kitchens, racing against the clock to prepare and serve orders while obstacles get in the way. Its cheerful, fast-paced music became closely tied to that frantic teamwork, and clips of it spread through gaming videos, streams and memes about kitchen chaos. It remains popular because the tune instantly sets up pressure, comedy and cooperation without needing any explanation.
