Release Date:
Haunted Chocolatier’s release date remains uncertain, with the developer hinting that it might take longer than initially anticipated. However, fans can expect regular updates on the game’s progress.
Platforms:
Although Haunted Chocolatier is confirmed to release on PC, no other platforms have been officially announced. Similar to Stardew Valley’s eventual expansion to consoles and mobile, Haunted Chocolatier is expected to become widely available across platforms.
Gameplay:
A brief glimpse of Haunted Chocolatier’s gameplay was revealed in an early video, showcasing daily life in a cozy town, combat during ingredient gathering, and chocolate-making within the factory. The game begins with players establishing a chocolate shop in a haunted castle amidst a snowy community. The goal is to procure diverse ingredients, forge alliances, and achieve confectionery excellence. While the art style and interface resemble Stardew Valley, Haunted Chocolatier utilizes a new engine, enabling notable additions.
Haunted Chocolatier introduces significant departures from Stardew Valley, including a greater emphasis on action RPG elements, particularly combat. Players will wield weapons and shields, engage in a revamped combat system, and encounter a stunning array of enemies. This combat system draws inspiration from Diablo II, offering a thrilling blend of loot collection and character progression.
Multiplayer and Co-op:
Haunted Chocolatier is envisioned as a strictly single-player experience, with no plans for multiplayer or co-op modes.
Preorders:
As the game’s release remains distant, pre-orders are unavailable at this time. Stay tuned for updates on pre-order availability.
