Something about postapocalyptic video games makes them perfect for adaptations. Fallout, The Last of Us, and Twisted Metal all have that kind of setting and have been some of the most well-liked video game adaptations ever. Maybe it’s because the apocalypse provides such a rich sandbox to play in, or maybe it’s because that kind of setting forces characters to make difficult choices, but it’s the kind of setting that makes for both good gaming and TV.
All the Haunted Chocolatier news we’ve heard so far
31.03.2024 - 18:01 / polygon.com
The Stardew Valley community might be alive and kicking thanks to the recent 1.6 update, but fans are still excited for the shiny new game coming from its maker, Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone. The next game from the developer, Haunted Chocolatier, is in the works, and it already looks like it will capture plenty of the charms of Stardew Valley.
Since announcing Haunted Chocolatier in 2021, Barone has been juggling its development while releasing significant updates for Stardew Valley. It can be hard to keep up with progress on both games at once, especially since Barone has said several times that he prefers to work in secret and often discusses important updates informally on X. As a result, the information available on each game can be a bit scattered. So we did the work of rounding all those details up. As you read, keep in mind that Barone is developing the game “organically,” so it’s possible some details will change before release.
The short answer is that we don’t have a release date or window for Haunted Chocolatier yet. Barone started working on the game in 2020, but we don’t know how far along development is because we’ve only gotten occasional snippets from the game. Most recently, he said that he’s “eager” to get back to work on it, but that he needs to make sure that Stardew Valley 1.6 is “settled, bug-free and out to all platforms first.”
It’s likely we won’t get a Haunted Chocolatier release anytime soon, since it’s going to take a while for Barone to release everything needed for the new version of Stardew. He just dropped the 1.6.3 Stardew Valley fixes for PC on March 27 and doesn’t yet have a release date for when the update will come to console, so there’s more news to come.
Additionally, Barone has been working on Stardew Valley updates for a while. In January of last year, he said he was “getting side tracked” by Stardew Valley work. Then, that spring, he said that he paused work on Haunted Chocolatier to work on the 1.6 update. Barone is a one-man team (more or less), so if you’re itching for the game, maybe give the guy a break!
Fans of Stardew Valley will immediately recognize several of Haunted Chocolatier’s gameplay elements from the trailer. The game bears Barone’s typical style, pairing stunningly detailed pixel art with a lush soundtrack. Features of Stardew gameplay — like the ability to develop relationships with characters and decorate a home — also seem to figure prominently into Haunted.
However, the biggest difference between the two will be its core gameplay and combat. According to a 2021 blog post, the game will lean into more action-RPG elements and have a greater emphasis on combat. Additionally, in his announcement post, he said that the core loop will involve
