Haunted Chocolatier Players May Have Their Cake and Eat It Too

Highlights

  • The game’s focus on chocolate and cooking suggests it should release a real-life cookbook like Stardew Valley.
  • While cooking is a secondary feature of Stardew Valley, its charming cookbook has found success.
  • Cooking is a major aspect of Haunted Chocolatier, emphasizing the need for a cookbook themed after its in-game recipes.

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the idea of a real-life cookbook based on the in-game recipes from Haunted Chocolatier is an absolute no-brainer. Having witnessed the charm and success of Stardew Valley’s own cookbook, I can’t help but feel that a similar endeavor for Haunted Chocolatier would be the perfect icing on the cake (pun intended) for this highly anticipated game.

Three years have passed since the initial announcement of Haunted Chocolatier, and it’s still more of a topic among gamers than a playable game. The creator, ConcernedApe, who’s known for the smashing hit farm life simulator Stardew Valley, shared a few glimpses into Haunted Chocolatier shortly after its reveal. Since then, details about its development have been kept close to his heart, with only occasional updates that it’s still in the works. But rest assured, when it does arrive, we’ll get to witness the unique blend of magic ConcernedApe can create with a chocolate shop simulator instead of a farm life simulator.

In the game called “Haunted Chocolatier“, players take on the role of managing a chocolate shop. Given that food and sweets are central to its gameplay, “Haunted Chocolatier” could draw inspiration from “Stardew Valley” in creating an engaging real-world experience.

Haunted Chocolatier Needs Its Own Cookbook Like Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley’s Cookbook Features In-game Recipes Fans Can Prepare at Home

As a passionate Stardew Valley gamer, I was thrilled when the game’s real-life cookbook dropped in May. This isn’t the first game to have a cookbook, but what sets Stardew apart is that it offers in-game recipes for fans to try at home. While cooking isn’t the main attraction in the game, it’s one of those cozy aspects that make Stardew Valley so charming. It becomes particularly useful in the late stages of the game when you can whip up complex dishes and gift them to the townsfolk to strengthen relationships. This unique cookbook is a fantastic way for Stardew fans to extend their gaming experience beyond the screen, offering an entirely new way to engage with this amazing indie game from the last decade.

The Stardew Valley Official Cookbook showcases fifty in-game recipes, categorized based on the season when their ingredients are typically available for planting, cultivating, and harvesting. For instance, the Spring section offers the Complete Breakfast and Farmer’s Lunch recipes, while the Fall selection includes Pumpkin Soup and Survival Burger recipes. The cookbook has received generally positive feedback, though the enthusiastic fanbase of Stardew Valley might have contributed to this reception. Nonetheless, Haunted Chocolatier ought to think about releasing a cookbook soon after its launch, given that its concept strongly suggests a real-world cookbook inspired by the game’s recipes.

Haunted Chocolatier’s Premise All But Demands a Real-life Cookbook

In my opinion, while Stardew Valley incorporates some cooking aspects, Haunted Chocolatier revolves around them. If you take a look at one of its screenshots, you’ll see an open cookbook with recipes for a Chocolate Bar and a Simple Truffle. As depicted, food prepared in Haunted Chocolatier can enhance players when consumed, but the main goal is to sell these culinary creations at the chocolate shop – that’s what Haunted Chocolatier is all about! With the treats from this game serving two primary functions, it’s clear that cooking will play a crucial role in Haunted Chocolatier.

Given the central role of cooking in the game ‘Haunted Chocolatier’, it’s quite logical to anticipate that, similar to ‘Stardew Valley’, a real-life cookbook might eventually be released for it. This book, focusing primarily on baking recipes, would offer an easier starting point compared to some of the complex meal recipes found in ‘Stardew Valley’. With the expected swift progression of ‘Haunted Chocolatier’ post-launch and assuming ConcernedApe decides to develop a ‘Haunted Chocolatier’ cookbook, we might not have to wait eight years as was the case with ‘Stardew Valley’. However, if an official ‘Haunted Chocolatier’ cookbook never materializes, players can still enjoy making and selling sweet treats within the game itself.
