The Witch's Bakery Wiki
The Witch's Bakery is a cozy 2D adventure RPG from Sunny Lab, published by Silver Lining Interactive, made with love since development began in 2022. Originally set for an August 20, 2026 release, the game was delayed again to October 14, 2026 -- a decision the developers communicated candidly, citing the need for a few more weeks to deliver the best possible version of the game. It launches on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, with physical editions for PS5, Switch, and Switch 2 (including a digital cookbook) following two days later on October 16.
The Premise
You play Lunne, a joyful young witch who has just arrived in modern-day Paris to open her own bakery -- and she has a rare magical gift: the ability to see into people's hearts and heal their emotions through enchanted baking. The developers have named Kiki's Delivery Service and Persona 5 as direct inspirations, a genuinely distinctive combination reflected in the game's blend of cozy slice-of-life charm and emotional, dungeon-like introspection.
Three Phases, Every Day
Each in-game day unfolds across three distinct phases: Daytime, where Lunne manages her bakery and serves customers alongside a team of friends; Evening, where she explores Paris's districts, builds relationships, uncovers hidden stories, and enters her friends' Heart Palaces to confront their emotional struggles directly; and Night, where she rests, upgrades her magic, and decorates her cozy atelier.
Heart Palaces: The Emotional Core
When a person's feelings are locked away too deeply for words, Lunne can enter their Heart Palace directly -- a magical space representing their inner turmoil, where personified emotions must be guided back to the heart. The journey through each Heart Palace culminates in discovering the specific ingredient needed to bake bread that can genuinely heal that character's pain, tying storytelling, empathy, and gameplay together in a way that's central to the entire game.
Confirmed Content Scale
Paris is divided into multiple distinct districts, each with its own characters, activities, and shops to discover as Lunne progresses. As she earns experience, money, and fame, she meets new friends, learns new skills, and purchases books to unlock new recipes.
A Genuinely Notable Musical Collaboration
The score features an official collaboration with composer Cécile Corbel -- the first non-Japanese composer ever to work with Studio Ghibli, known for her music in The Secret World of Arrietty. Her ethereal, whimsical sound lends real, notable pedigree to the game's musical identity.
A Real Success Story So Far
Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, The Witch's Bakery has surpassed 200,000 wishlists on Steam -- described by the developers as comparable to the entire population of cities like Rennes, Salt Lake City, or York -- alongside overwhelmingly positive reception to its free demo since its surprise early release in February 2026.
