Had such a fun time with this one! I played it on stream and gave a lot of my feedback through there, so if you'd like to watch, you can find the highlight here! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1960479877

But overall I liked the character designs, the story was sweet, and everything was bright and cheery! I would love to hear additional songs incorporated into it to break the back-track a little bit, but otherwise I felt it was a really nice little treat (pun intended). Would love to see more stories with these characters!

Just finished the game and I loved how wholesome it was!

As someone who loves baked good and confections I knew this would be just up my ally and it was. Creative character designs, a sweet story, and cake creation aspect made me feel like i was working in a bakery again except but with more reasonable customers.

 Although one thing i noticed is in the cake creation part the selection arrows for the cake flavor are the ones at the top and the toppings selection arrows  at the bottom. If done on purpose its fine it doesn't effect the game play it just took me by surprise for a second.

I did like how you brought a bit of realism to the game with the subject matter of having an ambition and doing something but without realizing it having it turn into just a job you do like clockwork. That is all too real lol.

Anyway very fun and well made game but channeling my inner Sasha.... Can ghosts gain weight?

It's a really fun little story that I really enjoyed a lot, a nice chill game, and I've always been weak for bakery games as a whole, and this was really good. The characters all have their charms, although really, I liked Lydia most, when she is both lazy, mercenary and eager to dump work, but somehow seemed deeply aware of certain things. And Cain not being an idiot too also mattered a lot. 

The idea of unlife, and the worldbuilding surrounding it was really well-thought out, I actually enjoyed it greatly, and thought it was charming and quaint, and how it's worked into the designs such as the chains, and the reapers being like some strange level of command over the ghosts as a whole and also responsbile for safeguardiung their soul sometimes. 

The ending did surprise me, I was pretty much 100% expecting him to vanish and move on.

Here's the link to my playthrough of it.

Sweet little story with beautiful characters and a charming setting. A lovely game but now I really want some cake! Well done!

Bakery Action game? Sign me in!

The moment I saw the art, I was in. Then I saw the mechanics, and I was even more in. Then? Then I enjoyed the different clients and their conversations. THEN? Then I was so glad with the ending.

The game's so well crafted, the sprites and backgrounds are top notch, the lore and the dialogues were superb, and the programming made it all even more alive with that constant movement.

The atmosphere is great, and the mood of the conversations goes along with all the other art around, making it a light and fun experience to pass by the time baking!

So adorable! A really sweet story, with sweet, well-designed characters to boot! I love how delicious you made all of the baked goods look, and the way of picking a bake works really well. Hope Sasha gets to flourish, and that Damien gets a break sometime.

Great job!!!
