About

The True Ingredients is a horror game that is a goofy twist on SpongeBob SquarePants, trapping an unsuspecting customer in the disturbing bowels of the restaurant being hunted by the titular fry cook. In the game, the player visits the (legally distinct) Krunchy Kans restaurant to try one of their famed human patty burgers. Unfortunately, the visitor is unable to pay for their $87.99 meal and is hauled down to the depths of the Krunchy Kans to be imprisoned with others that have incurred the wrath of the owner.
