Stardew Valley creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has announced plans to release a new video game called Haunted Chocolatier. So far, the developer has not announced a release date for the project.
"In this game, you will play as a chocolatier living in a haunted castle," the game's newly launched website explains. "In order to thrive in your new role, you will have to gather rare ingredients, make delicious chocolates, and sell them in a chocolate shop."
Barone has also released a trailer for the forthcoming single-player game, which shows animation and gameplay heavily reminiscent of Stardew. Like Stardew, Barone plans to self-publish the game, which he made entirely himself. So far, he has only 100 percent committed to releasing Haunted Chocolatier on PC, though he notes that he has "every intention of bringing it to the other major platforms as well."
Here's more of what you can expect from Haunted Chocolatier:
Like Stardew Valley, Haunted Chocolatier is another "town game", where you move to a new town and try your hand at a new way of living. You'll get to know the townspeople, achieve your goals and make progress in many ways. All of that is similar to Stardew Valley. However, the core gameplay and theming are quite a bit different. Haunted Chocolatier is more of an action-RPG compared to Stardew Valley. And instead of a farm being the focal point of your endeavors, it's a chocolate shop.
