Overview

Hans invites players into a unique blend of visual novel storytelling and baking simulation, set against the backdrop of World War I. You step into the shoes of an alien who has crash-landed on Earth and discovered a talent for baking magical pastries. These creations aren't just for show; they're intended to help the townsfolk of a small community. However, the narrative offers a twist: you're not obligated to fulfill every request. Players can choose their path, making decisions that lead to one of eight distinct endings, each with its own set of consequences.
