Stardew Valley maker Eric Barone has revealed his next game, ConcernedApe’s Haunted Chocolatier.
It’s a spooky chocolate-making, monster-stabbing, small town-living role-playing game, with a visual and musical style similar to that of the hugely popular Stardew.
Here’s a first look trailer showing gameplay:

“After dedicating 10 years of my life to Stardew Valley (and counting), the time has finally come to announce my next game,” Barone wrote in a blog post detailing the project.
“In Stardew Valley, the focus was more humble: living off the land, growing food, and connecting to the people and nature around you. However, with my next game, I wanted to explore more fantastical possibilities… experiences that take you beyond the ordinary. That’s where magical haunted ghost chocolate comes in.
