"In the days leading up to its release, multiple other small studios delayed their games to stay out of Silksong's way, something generally reserved to make space for the Grand Theft Autos of the gaming world. The sequel's release led to Steam and the Nintendo eShop crashing (the lack of preorders played a role here, of course) and saw the metroidvania game top out at 587,000 concurrent players on Valve's platform alone."
"However, Haunted Chocolatier shares a similar visual presentation and will offer a larger world than Stardew Valley, according to creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone. The RPG will see people living in a haunted castle and making chocolate, which requires gathering ingredients. It's a "town game" like Stardew Valley, per Barone, though Haunted Chocolatier will lean more into the action-RPG genre."
Hollow Knight: Silksong generated unprecedented indie-game hype, prompting other studios to delay releases, crashing storefronts, and reaching 587,000 concurrent Steam players while launching across major consoles and Game Pass. Haunted Chocolatier is a follow-up to Stardew Valley with similar visuals and a larger world, featuring a haunted castle setting where players gather ingredients to make chocolate. The game blends a "town game" structure with stronger action-RPG elements, emphasizes mystery and whimsy, has been in development since late 2021, and may be set in the same world as Stardew Valley.
