I do not envy Eric Barone. Stardew Valley remains massively popular even a decade down the line, and is easily one of the biggest catalysts in the cosy gaming craze and the renaissance of the farming simulator. That kind of reputation is bound to put some heavy expectations on his next project, Haunted Chocolatier, from both fans and Barone himself.
With all the excitement and anticipation of his work in a shiny new setting, it's no surprise that folks just want to know when the darn thing is coming out. That's not something we know yet, though Barone does pop in with the occasional reminder that yes, Haunted Chocolatier is still happening, but when he wants it to happen. Not when we want it to happen. Which, if it was up to us, it probably already would have.
