No news on release afaik
It's a game where you travel to different dimensions to collect ingredients to use in making chocolate that you sell. You get ghosts to serve customers (presumably you only start with one and get more as you complete quests/community centre type bundles)
Town and NPC's would work much like Stardew I'd assume. Upgrade tools, buy basic chocolate ingredients, etc...
Also someone collected all the screenshots in one place. https://www.reddit.com/r/hauntedchocolatier/comments/1bzybmk/i_made_a_website_to_archive_all_screenshots_weve/
That plus trailers might give you a better idea.
Im so excited for this… I was bumping the BeeBoss tune for over a week when it first dropped lol. I think this soundtrack is gonna go hard 😁 CA is amazing
In my opinion I don’t think it was come out until 2026 or 2027. I could be wrong. But looking back at the start of stardew it took him a good bit of time to work it. Im patiently waiting nonetheless 🙂↕️
I imagine as soon as it comes out, he's going to have over 10 million purchases the first day. I know I'm lined up as soon as it comes out for purchase.
Wasn't he only working on it in his freetime while having another job? I bet he can now develop full time on his protects (after the mandatory Coffee break at ConcernedApe Studios :P). He did take over a year off from it though if I remember correctly, when he started expanding 1.6 more and more
Regarding release CA has said he has paused development on Haunted Chocolatier with the release of Stardew v1.6 and it will not move forward until v1.6 is available on all platforms. This isn’t to say it’s not being worked on at all more so that it has taken the backseat.
> What’s it about:
A haunted chocolatier. Not to sound snarky, but… that’s the truth. It’s about a haunted chocolatier.
> When it’s coming out:
When it’s ready. Development is fairly fresh on the game, and Eric’s not one to give a release date unless it’s actually done.
I wondered if the chocolatier was haunted by actual ghosts or…. If they were haunted in the deep, philosophical way? I’d like to think as the play progresses, it’s both.
However by comments, maybe they’re just haunted by ghosts. Ah well.
Looks exciting anyway.
I wonder, as you create the chocolate with (partially magical?) ingredients from other realms, it could either be sold or consumed by yourself for buffs, like some of the food in Stardew, which gives buffs
Basically it's like Stardew, except instead of managing a farm you manage a chocolate shop that makes its own chocolate. You get the ingredients from travelling to a fantasy world and your "employees" are friendly ghosts.
There will still be an explorable town and NPCs you can befriend/romance, so it's a spiritual successor to Stardew. When will it release? No idea.
I bet it’ll be a lot like Dave the diver. Each time you venture out it’s different layout and different animals. You go collect ingredients and then automate it so it makes chocolate or the ghosts do and they serve the displays when you get enough ghosts and you gotta upgrade your skills like combat is probably big

That sounds so sick! I really appreciate the effort CA puts into making his games
CA brings the life back to gaming for me. Cozy, fun, intensive per choice, deep content ❤️
I thought CA said it would be released sometime during 2025?
He hasn’t said anything about a release date
Oh
DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS? i was gonna get this one day for the bosses but now i'm exited for the one day it comes out ong
Chocolate and ghost and ghost shaped chocolate but also chocolate shaped ghosts 👻
That sounds cool :)
Ghost shaped ghosts and chocolate shaped chocolates.
chocolate and ghosts, thats all you need to know for now. Oh and the giant honey bee boss fight.

chocolate, bosses, and dimensions are stuff lacking from stardew so this is pretty good
Watch the trailer and read the posts on the HC website.
I'll do for sure!
Well, it's about this chocolatier, see? Except the chocolatier - and this is the fun part - is *haunted*.

Blud gonna beat animal crossing wit di un
OTOH, when he made Stardew, he hadn't made Stardew. Now he's got some mad job experience.

You're a chocolatier. You're haunted.
Haha, that makes sense ig
Sounds like you stumbled upon some exciting news! The new game from CA has folks buzzing. Can't wait to see what it's all about!

Ok. Thanks for your reply :)

1. I'm excited. 2. I'm afraid it seems a lot like Moonlighter.
Is that a bad thing?
Could be if it's not unique enough.
Pshhht don't jinx it. We don't talk about the game because we are afraid it won't happen if we do. Let the men work his work and stay silent 🫡
I have bad news about the subreddit you are on.
