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 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

Anything to hit that VA-11 Hall-A itch. No but for real, seems promising so far and the voice cast is STACKED.
For a game of this price, I'd say the devs blew this out of the park with how many features there are in the game, ranging from the donut mood affecting the characters storyline to the fun donut-cooking mechanics. I really do enjoy the characters and I like that the MC has a established personality and backstory as well + customizing their character; I personally love it when an MC has a solid story point itself other then being a blank slate because then I feel like they would serve no purpose in the game, so I was pleasantly surprised Also a great thing about this game is the fact that all characters interconnect with each other; even characters that never had screentime together have some influence on other characters, this amount of effort makes the characters much more immersive Now, onto some nitpicks. This game is still good despite my personal nitpicks and I wanna acknowledge that the devs have great vision from what I seen from their other games like The Letter (Their multiple pov gameplay is impressive) - I wish there were more scene of the MCs outside the donut shop but it understandable to their wide assortment of cast that it might not be within budget, It's just the donut shop gets repetitive after a while, so I wished there a change of view every now and then. I'm almost on day 100 and lowkey I'm getting bored of the donut shop - I loved the fact the MC as their own personality but I also wish that the dialogue choices become overall the same dialogue as the game goes on, so your not really affecting the characters that much. I kinda wished we could be a little meaner sometimes (teehee) - The donut aspect was what caught my eye the most but unfortunately theres not alot of leeway which is a shame because its the main gameplay mechanic of this game. I kinda wished it was more engaging rather then repetitive. It is sometimes fun to guess what the customers want though - Money, after buying out all of the ingredients and furniture, theres not much you can do with it (might update as I play more)

Honestly this game is more fun than I thought it would be, it did have me craving donuts though and I'm not even a sweets person lol My only suggestion is the game is in dire need of more romanceable male characters. I love my boy Connor but once I finished his route the game got shelved for me. Add Jojo and Elias you cowards!! :p
i genuinely love everything this game about this game so far! this game will keep me busy for a while i can't wait to work through all the achievements :3
playing this game after playing dispatch makes it extra funny lmao Also another game with poly(is it?) character? Let's go!
This is one of the most fun dating sims ive played and ive played a LOT. HIGHLY recommend this game if youre looking for chill vibes and some outrageous(good) one liners
Please make Riri romanceable
I have a long way to go before I get to the end of the story, but so far I have been having a lot of fun with the characters. They are voice acted really well, all feel different from each other, and feel like real people. The animation looks amazing and kind of "comforting" in a way? It feels very cozy to me for some reason, like it scratches an itch, that I could not reach for a long time. I will probably update this review, once I reach more progress, but I am genuinely happy and satisfied with my purchase so far.
This game is great! I'm really enjoying it so far, and I can see myself playing it for a REALLY long time. I think the donut-making gameplay loop is very satisfying, and it's very reminiscent of the Papa's Bakeria games. It is a very long game, which I am personally a fan of, but if you're someone who wants something a little more short and sweet for your dating sims, then it might not be for you. The voice acting is phenomenal, and so far all of the characters are interesting and appealing. One thing I'm not a big fan of is that all of the dateable characters except one are your exes. I've been enjoying some of their stories, but I would've rather been able to romance new characters. They do seem like they plan to add more romanceable characters in future updates, though, so that's great. The only real complaint I have other than that is that we see way too few customers per night. Seeing 3 customers a day does make the game a bit longer than necessary, because it means you can only see so many events per day. Overall, though, I'd highly recommend! It's a very fun game with a lot of compelling characters, and it's obvious how much love was put into making it.
So cute and silly! The art is so fun, the characters are so unique, the music and voice acting is PEAK. The wait was so worth it :D
