Over the years, Stardew Valley ($4.99) from Eric Barone (ConcernedApe) has continued to get even better. Following its debut on PC, it came to consoles and mobile platforms. The iOS and Android version have both improved a lot with since launch and the game itself is in a fine place on every platform right now. With the Stardew Valley 1.5 update having arrived on PC and console platforms bringing in a wealth of new content including end game additions, quality of life features, split screen co-op, the ability to move beds, a new Beach Farm, advanced game options, and a lot more, Eric said he was focused on his next project. Today, he announced Haunted Chocolatier for PC. Haunted Chocolatier is a simulation RPG where you play as a chocolatier living in a haunted castle. It is 100% confirmed for just PC right now, but he intends to bring it to all major platforms. Watch the Haunted Chocolatier early gameplay video below:

As of now, we don’t know if Haunted Chocolatier is going to come to mobile for sure, but I hope it does. It is currently being developed by just Eric Barone and he says he will get external help for localization and console ports. Haunted Chocolatier will be self-published. It doesn’t have a release window yet and it is in early development. He also says that the gameplay is similar to Stardew Valley in some ways, but in many ways, it isn’t.
