The heartwarming adventure RPG is available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, priced at 2,400 yen including tax. Players control Renee, a witch who runs a bakery in modern-day Paris. Her power lets her enter the Heart Palace, a mental space where emotions take physical form, so she can heal troubled residents and gather bread ingredients. The day loop has three phases. Daytime is bakery work with Ori, her shape-shifting cat-like companion. Evening is spent exploring Paris and building relationships. Night is for the atelier, where Renee develops recipes, improves her baking, and decorates the shop. Cecile Corbel, known for the Studio Ghibli film The Secret World of Arrietty, contributed music. A physical edition is planned for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, with no date set, sold through Silver Lining Direct and retailers in various regions, and it includes a digital cookbook.","whyItMatters":"Sunny Lab's debut title arrives after a successful Kickstarter campaign and ships across five storefronts and consoles at once, a distribution footprint unusual for a first release from a French indie studio.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Witch\u0026#39;s Bakery is the first title from Sunny Lab, the French studio behind it, and it reached storefronts after a Kickstarter campaign that the studio describes as highly successful.
