Haunted Chocolatier is taking a long time because it "has to be perfect," creator Eric Barone explains: "I torture myself over every last detail"

"I know it's taking a long time." Haunted Chocolatier was first announced back in 2021 by Stardew Valley creator Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone, yet we've still seen relatively little of the upcoming sandbox life game. In a fresh update on development, Barone reassures his ever-eager audience that he's still very much working on the project alongside continued efforts on Stardew, but says he's reluctant to share "too many screenshots" along the way. "It feels like I'm serving a half-baked bread," he remarks. "I would rather serve a fully baked bread."
