Eric Barone described Haunted Chocolatier as a town game that leans more toward an action RPG, in an interview with GQ. He said the focus is on adventure, collecting equipment, and strengthening characters, with monster combat and boss battles.

Eric Barone, creator of Stardew Valley, shared a development update on Haunted Chocolatier, the chocolate shop management sim announced in 2021. He explained the game is still in careful development because he wants every element players interact with to be 'perfect,' citing recent work on the recipe book UI as an example of the refinement process.
