Hey, you ever find yourself waiting for something so much that everything else just pales in comparison? Like, way back in the day when you waited for that new episode of your favorite show. Anyway, that’s kinda how some folks are feeling about this game called Haunted Chocolatier. It’s not the big guns like GTA 6 or, uh, Elder Scrolls 6—okay, I sorta got distracted there thinking about those huge titles. But this little indie gem has people buzzing with its quirky premise.
Picture this: you’re a candy maker living in a haunted castle. Yeah, you heard right! It’s part chocolatier dream, part spooky adventure. So, Eric Barone, the guy making it, says it might be a while before we can sink our teeth into this one. But hey, no worries! I stumbled upon some cool games that might just fill that sweet tooth while we wait.
Games to Play While Waiting for Haunted Chocolatier
Stardew Valley
This one’s like the obvious sibling in a family photo. If you loved Stardew, chances are Haunted Chocolatier will warm your heart too. Eric Barone’s first love child, Stardew Valley, still shines with its old-school charm. Over the years, it’s grown thanks to loads of updates and mods. It sort of paved the way for Haunted Chocolatier, setting the indie scene on fire. Bet you didn’t know—it’s sold over 41 million copies! Wild, right?
Strange Horticulture
Feeling all cozy but with a hint of the supernatural? Strange Horticulture is like curling up with a dark fairy tale. You’re this plant shop owner, mingling with odd folks as an intriguing mystery unfolds. It’s not horror, more like a gentle nudge into the mystical. It’s a nice detour down the path where ‘haunted’ doesn’t mean ‘terrifying.’
Cult of the Lamb
Okay, hear me out. It’s not your average life sim but who doesn’t love a little cult-building among cuddly creatures, right? Cult of the Lamb has this quirky charm, blending rogue-like elements with a dash of dark humor. It’s cute, but with a sinister bite—a bit like watering your plants while plotting world domination. Or something.
Cozy Grove
Ever wanted to befriend ghosts? Yep, Cozy Grove has you covered. It takes the friendly life sim formula and tosses in some spectral buddies. Imagine Animal Crossing but in a forest where spirits hang out. Kinda makes your daily errands seem less mundane, right?
Dredge
Now, if you’re into fishing but with a spooky twist, Dredge is your catch of the day. It’s got you managing a fishing biz, except the sea is, like, full of weird monsters. It’s got that Stardew vibe with a pinch of “what’s lurking in the depths?” Perfect if you’re looking to scare yourself silly while trying to manage boat upgrades.
Honestly, these should keep you entertained—or at least distracted—till Haunted Chocolatier finally drops. Happy gaming, folks!
