New Steam Game is Basically Kiki’s Delivery Service in Video Game Form
The Witch’s Bakery, a debut title from developer Sunny Lab, brings Studio Ghibli-inspired charm to the cozy game genre through a magical baking management experience. Available on Steam, the game invites players to assume the role of Lunne, a heart witch who relocates to Paris to establish her own enchanted bakery alongside her pink, cat-like companion Orio.
The gameplay loop centers on running a bakery operation with magical mechanics. Players prepare dough, infuse it with spellwork, and guide Orio through the baking process using elemental magic. Once completed, customers arrive to purchase the magical baked goods, requiring players to manage inventory and navigate diverse customer personalities. The game emphasizes the emotional resonance of sharing food with others, drawing thematic inspiration from Kiki’s Delivery Service, the beloved Studio Ghibli film about a young witch establishing herself in a new city through a delivery service.
The experience unfolds across a structured Monday-through-Saturday work week, creating a rhythm reminiscent of cozy simulation games while maintaining a heartfelt narrative focus. With its blend of baking mechanics, light magical elements, and character-driven storytelling, The Witch’s Bakery positions itself as an accessible adventure that balances relaxation with the gentle challenges of customer service and shop management.
