A game I enjoy is Family Style. It’s a multiplayer mobile game where players work together to complete recipes by passing ingredients between each other’s phones. Its architecture is primarily loop-based, with very minimal arc structure.
Each round follows a tight core loop where you read your assigned recipe, request the ingredients you need, pass ingredients across phones, and try to submit the dish before time runs out. This loop is fast and highly interactive, relying on real-world communication. There’s very little narrative though. The sense of progression comes from added mechanics and ingredients, and the fun is mostly from mastering the loop under pressure.
