What is The Witch's Bakery?

The Witch's Bakery is a cozy narrative Adventure RPG about a joyful witch who opens her bakery in modern Paris. Lunne has one special power: she can see into people's hearts and heal their emotions through magic. Each day splits into three phases. During daytime she works the counter and helps customers; in the evening she explores the districts of Paris, builds relationships and steps inside friends' troubled hearts; at night she rests, improves her magic and decorates the bakery.

The wiki pages here turn that structure into plain answers. The daily phases guide explains the daytime, evening and night loop and the final date that cannot be failed. The Lunne page separates what the developer confirmed about the Heart Palace skill tree from what demo players observed. The romance page records the one confirmed route, and the release pages document the demo takedown and the missing Steam Deck verification badge as of October 9, 2026.

Every statement on this site is tied to a fact from the official Steam store page, the Steam news feed or a developer reply in the Steam Community discussions, with the source date noted. We are a fan project and are not affiliated with Sunny Lab or Silver Lining Interactive.

License errors after the September 25, 2026 demo takedown, the spacebar workaround for the first dialogue freeze, the file-verification sound fix and the reports that remain unresolved.
