Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.86/day in the week to Sep 1 → 1.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

One of the most strangely addictive indie titles I have ever played. Come for the VA's, stay for the gameplay loop.

This game is made with lots of love, great graphics and even voice acting. I like the game loop with the donut making. However, I think this game has too many characters. Most of them I find annoying, but there are some gems, like Harry and Connor. For them alone it's worth playing the game. :)

this is the greatest game of all time. i will die for connor. i will kill for connor . i love connor
The game is fun however the game has a major bug right now that needs to be fixed as it makes your save file unplayable. I reached around day 120 with Harry's romance ending, Conners friend ending & close to most endings for a few other characters. I wanted to reset Conner so that I could go for his romance ending next & when I did that it broke my save file. I can no longer open but my save to play the game. I can play from a different save or I can make a new one but the save I worked on for 15 hours is completely broken. We should not have the choice to reset a character if it is going to completely break the save.
Fun to play! Making doughnuts is a blast and all the characters are great fun to talk to, not to mention the customisation of your shop and self are really neat. My only issue is that the drizzle feature is a bit difficult to use in the sense that it doesn't always show up on a doughnut, so even IF it matches the one I have on screen, the characters still won't be happy with it despite it not letting me do the drizzle right in the first place. Fingers crossed that a future patch might fix this or add drizzle layouts to every doughnut in the future so Kolt can't say I've messed up his yin-yang again lol.
They put me in as a clown in this game and I will never forgive them
Prior to hearing about this on a YouTube video (which I’ll get to in a bit), this was a game that I had initially never heard of. I first heard about this game on a sponsored YouTube video where this one person was playing the demo, and despite the fact that I usually avoid sponsored videos since they’re basically just a glorified commercial, the concept of this game did catch my attention and the fact that this game was apparently inspired by Papa’s Donuteria, this allowed me to get into some familiar territory since I used to play the PC version back in the day. Additionally, I do have some background experience with playing romance games, since I have played a couple of otome mobile games in the past. Starting with the positives, the first praise that I wanna mention is the wide cast of characters that you meet while you're baking and serving some yummy donuts, most of which are dateable and also have one of four different endings (those being Romance, Good, Neutral and Bad from best to worst order). And staying on topic with the characters, this is where I get to the next praise, which is the voice acting, since most of the game is fully voiced and all of the VAs that I’ve heard so far did a really good job. The only character that doesn’t have any voiced lines is the protagonist, but that’s kinda expected and I didn’t really find that an issue. The final praise that I wanna cover is that this game is filled with Steam achievements with a grand total of 232 achievements to complete, which is definitely a good thing for any completionists out there or for anyone who is looking for a game that has a high replay factor. Now for the negatives that I have, and thankfully, these critiques are pretty minor in my opinion. Firstly, unlike other visual novels, this game doesn’t come with a manual save feature that’ll allow you to save the game at any time. Instead, the game will automatically save your progress when you either complete a customer’s order when they leave or when you finish an in-game shift, which can be a bit problematic for players who either want to save their progress at a specific line of dialogue or are pretty tight on time by wanting to play the game for a short duration. The second and final critique that I want to address is that the donut making part of the gameplay can be pretty basic, this is especially coming from someone who has played Donuteria, where the baking in that one was a lot more complex. I understand that they want to simplify it here, but my point is still valid that this part of the game can be too simplistic for some. For my recommendations, if you’re a fan of dating sims or if you like games that has a high replay factor, then this is a game that I would definitely recommend. However, for those that are expecting a more complex cooking gameplay or if you're one of those people who isn't into same-sex romances, then this one isn't gonna be your cup of tea. The game is decently priced at £17.75 (US$19.99), but I would suggest that either you wait until it goes on sale instead or at least try out the free demo beforehand to see if this game’s signature donuts are able to pique your interest.
five stars for the "fire emblem: awakening" reference as "water crest: revival" the game is also great too, I love all the characters! their dialogue is really well-crafted and each character feels unique. I'm having a fantastic time digging into all of their stories. I literally gasped when meeting the catboi and the breadditor, I love those little freaks sm
It's a great and fun game
