The Witch's Bakery

The Witch's Bakery will launch on August 20 across PC, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a physical edition also planned. The game has already surpassed 150,000 Steam wishlists and raised about 310,000 euros on Kickstarter.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Jun 26

Silver Lining Interactive and developer Sunny Lab, a French indie studio, have set a concrete launch date for The Witch's Bakery: August 20 on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game was confirmed for a multiformat release in late May, with the exact date arriving in June. The Kickstarter-funded title raised approximately 310,000 euros in 2024 and had amassed over 150,000 Steam wishlists ahead of launch.

Players control the young witch Rune, who runs a bakery in modern-day Paris. The day is split into baking and selling bread, evening exploration of the city and interaction with characters, and night upgrading magic and decorating the shop. A central mechanic lets Rune enter the "Heart Palace" of emotionally closed-off people, a magical space where feelings take physical form, and then guide those emotions to heal them. The hand-drawn art depicts Parisian districts such as Montmartre and Grands Boulevards.

Composer Cécile Corbel, known for her work on Studio Ghibli's The Secret World of Arrietty, provides the soundtrack. A physical edition including a digital cookbook supervised by a professional pastry chef will be released later for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2. The game is priced at 2,400 yen on Steam and consoles.
