What Is Haunted Chocolatier?
Haunted Chocolatier is an upcoming single-player action rpg · chocolate-shop life sim from ConcernedApe (Eric Barone). You run a chocolate shop inside a haunted castle, staffed by friendly ghosts.
The core loop, as revealed so far:
Venture into wilderness biomes and snow-covered forests to fight monsters and harvest cocoa, berries, and ghost essence for your confections.
Process ingredients inside your haunted-castle kitchen using various recipes — an “intuitive” path and a more conventional, mechanical path — to create luxury chocolates and specialty sweets.
Set up displays, price your confections, and employ friendly ghost staff to run the shop floor while you befriend townspeople and pursue relationships.
Combat is a bigger focus than in Stardew Valley — a shield lets you stun enemies and open counter-windows, and boss encounters are confirmed. The world is larger than Stardew Valley, with snowy wilderness biomes to explore and fishing returning.
