I was very excited the moment I saw ConcernedApe's Haunted Chocolatier's (mentioned solely as Haunted Chocolatier henceforth) early gameplay footage. The fact that a game as big as Stardew Valley is getting something we could call a spiritual successor is pretty astounding, granted how much love the game garnered - being one of the most highly reviewed games in the entirety of Steam.
I scoured far and deep for anything that could be a hint as to how Haunted Chocolatier will work, and I believe the gameplay trailer has so much to offer in that department.
Graphics & Gameplay
Just looking over the top of the gameplay footage, Haunted Chocolatier resembles so many things, 14. GameOn Magazine and putting them all into words might be a bit difficult. But I'll give it a try!
Straight off the bat, we see the character waking up in what seems to be the player's haunted mansion, where most of the selling will be taking place. The character goes to a higher floor and goes through what looks like a portal that allows them to go and gather materials for creating and selling chocolate, much akin to what gamers do in Moonlighter.
