Oversmoked Outlaws is a cozy BBQ-themed western fantasy farming game inspired by real smoke cooking culture.
In Oversmoked Outlaws, you begin caged and sleeping in a bush, waking up in a world where the Warden’s BBQ competitions shape the town, its people, and the legends surrounding you. Although there's zombies in the game, they are tamed for the most part unless you beat them like chickens from the Legend of Zelda and well...you sort of asking for it.
You’ll be able to:
- grow crops and ingredients
- raise livestock
- collect different smoking woods
- manage smokers and BBQ techniques
- decorate and build your homestead
- relax with cozy nighttime vibes and community events
Smoke the best BBQ of your life.
Smoke brisket, pork ribs, and poultry while creating your own signature recipes. Build your BBQ business one slow-smoked meal at a time and rise through the Warden’s legendary competitions. Meet rival communities, form friendships, recruit fellow outcasts, and decide what kind of reputation you want to leave behind. Grow a small camp into a thriving town, build your BBQ legacy, and shape the future of the frontier your own way.
BBQ gameplay:
- Wrapping at the stall
- Wood flavor profiles
- Temp management
- Spice recipes
- Smoke timing
- black latex glove stat boosts
- smoker progression systems
- brisket “jiggle tests”
- beer confidence modifiers
- and “wife/husband hunger” difficulty scaling
Grow your tasty sides.
Tend your garden, nurture every crop, and harvest fresh ingredients to serve alongside your smoked BBQ.
Each crop can grow in size with the more love you give to boost its rarity.
Forage for legendary wood to achieve the perfect smoky flavor.
Chop trees in a fantasy setting. Learn which woods bring out the best in each cut. Search for rare trees across the land.
Stock up for your next cook. Every tree has its own use. Don't worry about zombies in the daytime. They are just there to help! Yeah really, well unless...
Build your house your way that exist in the same world.
From walls, windows, and flooring. Customize your living space and furnish it. Expand your home as you grow.
Place each piece where it feels right. Make room for what matters to you. You can stack wood blocks to create a unique look. Turn a small space into something that feels lived in. Keep it simple or fill it with detail. It’s your place to build it at your own pace. Cozy or Chaos? which way you prefer? Stay inside and avoid staying out too late...let's say before 3 am? Don't like what you see? Just close the window or curtains and go to sleep, its easy! No bed? No Problem. Floor or back to bush it is!

*A Small Dev Note
Oversmoked Outlaws grew from my love of smoked BBQ and the farming/cooking ideas I shared with my daughter while making this game. The game also includes optional danger and survival settings that can be adjusted depending on whether you want a more relaxing or chaotic experience. It is a cozy game, a survival game, a BBQ game, and a whole lot of outlaw fun.
Build your community of outcasts and outlaws.
Play it however you want.
