The Witch’s Bakery launched on October 14, 2026 — a cozy narrative adventure RPG where you run a magical bakery in modern-day Paris. If you’re wondering what it is, where to play it, and whether it’s worth your time, here’s the quick rundown.
What is The Witch’s Bakery?
Developed by Sunny Lab and published by Silver Lining Interactive, The Witch’s Bakery puts you in the apron of Lunne, a cheerful witch who’s just opened her shop. Her gift: she can peer into people’s hearts and heal their emotions through the baked goods she makes. It plays like a gentle mix of bakery management sim and visual novel.
How the game works
Each day runs in three phases:
- Daytime — run the bakery, serve customers, and prep dough through quick mini-games, helped by your familiar Oreo.
- Evening — explore the districts of Paris, build relationships (there’s a romanceable character), and enter “Heart Palaces” to help people work through deep emotions.
- Night — rest, upgrade your magic, and decorate your bakery.
Release date, price & platforms
It released October 14, 2026 at $19.99 (£16.99 / €19.99). A physical edition runs $34.99 and includes a digital cookbook. It’s out now on PC (Steam), PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2, with iOS and Android planned later via Crunchyroll Game Vault. A typical playthrough runs 15–25 hours.
Is it worth playing?
If you like cozy, story-first games like Spiritfarer or Coffee Talk, yes. It’s low-stress, warm, and more about feelings than challenge. If you want fast action, look elsewhere.
