The Witch’s Bakery: this new game lets you run a magical bakery in Paris

In Paris, even croissants can wield powers. In The Witch's Bakery, a video game digitally released since October 14, 2026 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch et Switch 2, places you in the shoes of a witch who opens a bakery in the capital. Developed by the French studio Sunny Lab and published by Silver Lining Interactive, this 2D adventure game gives the morning pastry an unexpected mission: helping residents navigate their inner turmoil.

The newcomer goes by Lunne. Her day splits between running the shop, wandering the streets of Paris, and downtime at home. The service lets her meet clients and push the business forward. At night, the city becomes a vast arena for exploration, with characters to track down, bonds to build, and recipes to uncover.

The game’s Paris is hand-drawn. You can spot, in particular, the book stalls along the quays and a view of Notre-Dame. These settings host shops and activities that accompany the heroine’s journey. The adventure is built as much through encounters as through running the shop.

Magic enters the scene when a character’s troubles can’t be solved at the bar. Lunne can step into her inner world, where emotions take tangible form. These spaces, called Heart Palaces, open up exploration sequences and trials. Understanding what unsettles a resident helps you unlock the ingredient needed for a particular preparation.

Back at the workshop, you can also decorate your bakery and boost your powers. The pacing weaves between everyday tasks and fantastical detours, in a solo adventure whose narration is available in French.

Collectors of boxed editions have a follow-up date on the calendar: physical releases are slated for October 16 on PS5 and Nintendo consoles, with a digital recipe book included as a bonus.

A mobile adaptation will subsequently join the Crunchyroll Game Vault catalog on iOS and Android; its release date has not yet been announced.
