After spending much of last year dedicated to Stardew Valley's big 1.6 update, Eric Barone is ready to buckle down on Haunted Chocolatier. Though he's not ready to talk too many hard details about his next game, in a recent interview with PC Gamer Barone said that what he's interested in exploring with Haunted Chocolatier has "evolved with the game" over the last few years.
"One thing lately that I've been interested in is intuition," he said. "You might even say a spiritual aspect. You have the left brain, which is the mechanical engineering thing, and then you have this kind of intuitive, psychic, paranormal side. I feel like games are very left brain-focused, like: 'Here's your ingredients, now engineer the perfect chocolate.'"
