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.

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
The cast is so lovable, the voice acting is impeccable, and the stories of each of the characters (even the non-dateable NPCs) really reels you in. Lots of unlockable ingredients, molds, and furniture too.
So far I am completely loving the customers that came into this Hot Box. Quirky cast of characters each with their own backstories and reasons to connect with a MC that has a mysterious past propels you on how to shape the whole adventure through day to day donut making and talking. Harry Yen might be my favorite male character out of the entire game.

This game is fantastic. It's been a while since I got a game and then spent 6 straight hours on it. Things I Liked: ♥ Pacing. I tend to pick one char to romance a play-through and then get obsessed. The pacing of the game stopped me from doing that and allowed me to explore several other stories that I probably wouldn't have otherwise. ♥ Callouts. They're obvious enough without being straight-up annoying. This game is doing pirouettes on the tight-wire rope of cheesy, and I love it. ♥ Art work is gorgeous. ♥ Gameplay loop is satisfying. It's skill-based enough that it feels like my choices matter but not so skill-based it's annoying and not cozy. ♥ Stories are (relatively) realistic and human. I genuinely like and care about most of the characters, which is absolutely paramount in a dating sim. Things That Could Be Improved: ♥ There were a few times where dialogue repeated itself with a slightly different flavor text, seemed to be a bug but it only happened maybe once or twice. ♥ There was one (1) instance where a scene maining a different character didn't line up with my relationship status with a character featured in that scene, if that makes sense? But I can also see how that would be difficult to code for. ♥ This is the smallest little thing, ever: When making a donut with 2 toppings, it vexed me that if you fill each circle with 1 topping, then each circle with the second topping, it only counts as putting 1 topping on. Overall: Fantastic game, absolutely worth the money. I anticipate getting at least 30/40 hours of gameplay out of this, easily, between achievement hunting and story completing. Amazing job, devs.

I'm nowhere near completion but the game so far seems really high quality. The dating sim and the cooking sim interestingly compliments each other well. The characters are interesting. MC has some a mysterious background, but we have enough control over it to be able to make it mine. My only gripe is that game has no setting for ultra wide monitors which leaves me with two black rectangles on the side
To be honest, I did not know what I was expecting when I first played this game. But I will say, it is absolutely HILARIOUS! It is also a very unique take on a dating sim! You get to make donuts (of course!!) but also, all the romanceable characters are your EXES! It's something I don't think I have quite yet seen before. I love the take it has on healing previous relationships. The voice acting is really good, and the dialogue is a lot of fun. There is clearly so much love put into this game, and I am excited to play more!
Already having a super fun time with this game. If you're into dialogue heavy games then you'll like this, think Coffee Talk mixed with a bit of Date Everything. I enjoy that the characters are voice acted and not knowing what is going to come out of their mouths next (thinking about the cream pie conversation...), a game written by freaks for freaks for sure :)
game is AMAZING i just wish we could date more of the cast
I’ve been excited to play this game since I tried it out during Next Fest. I’ve almost met all of the love interests so I know I still have a long ways to go, and with all of the achievements I’m excited to try and 100% the game. The voice acting is great, some dialogue choices have gotten a laugh out of me, the character designs are fun and there’s such a quirky and endearing charm to all of the comic book scenes (the bobbing of the character models can sometimes be rather hypnotic, or maybe that’s just me). It gives me the same enjoyment and silliness as the Monster Prom series, but with cooking donuts that get you high! I do hope that we will get more male love interests in the future for a more even balance, but until then, I will enjoy seeing what more this game has to offer!!
