About This Game

A hand-drawn 2D adventure RPG where players guide Lunne, a young witch running a bakery in modern Paris. Days are split between serving customers and baking mini-games, evening exploration and relationship building, and night-time decorating and magic practice. Lunne can also enter magical 'Heart Palaces' to help people work through difficult emotions, solved through gentle maze-style challenges.
