The Munchables is a party game starring bizarre food-shaped creatures that look like the result of leaving your groceries out for way too long. It features minigames, bright colors, and the kind of character design that makes you wonder if you should be laughing or deeply concerned.
Also, the broccoli has abs.
Japanese Kiosk Demo#
|
This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace. |
A post-release demo, recovered from slack data from a WIS-009 kiosk unit hard drive dump in late August 2025.2 The hard drive was dumped by Zel (aka Luckless Heaven), while Rairii extracted the demo build from it.
In said hard drive dump, the build's ISO starts at 0xBADB63E00.
Its title ID is DQCJAF (the title ID for the retail Japanese version is RQCJAF). As with other kiosk demos, the game image is devsigned, so it needs to be recrypted in order to work on retail hardware.
The demo is mostly identical to its retail Japanese counterpart, albeit with most of its features restricted.
