What it is about
Like Grandma Used To Make is a little solo game about deciphering your grandmother's extremely idiosyncratic recipe book page by page (she was a witch, of course her personal shorthand was going to be impenetrable). Will you find recipes for meals, for potions , for spell components or for vampire repellent? This game was made @bethandangelmakegames's terrific Ludum Praxi jam in August 2026 for the theme "cooking." The jam page is here https://itch.io/jam/ludum-praxi-august-2026 and I encourage you to check out the other wonderful entries. This game is based on the Carta system by Cat McDonald. You can find the SRD here https://peachgardengames.itch.io/carta-srd and it's super fun. I encourage you to check it out and experiment with it in your own games.
