Haunted Chocolatier is the perfect opportunity for ConcernedApe to double up and expand one of Stardew Valley's most iconic features.

Haunted Chocolatier isn't aiming for an early access release, but that might be to its benefit, based on some other indie games' experiences.

As Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone's next new game, anticipation has been building year-on-year for Haunted Chocolatier since it was announced in 2021, meaning expectations could get even higher in 2025.
