The Witch’s Bakery, a cozy 2D adventure game inspired by Kiki’s Delivery Service, has released a free demo during Steam Next Fest. Players take on the role of a witch in Paris who bakes and heals hearts with magic. The demo offers the first two hours of gameplay and is expected to remain available after the event.
The Witch’s Bakery is a story-rich 2D adventure game that immerses players in the life of Lunne, a resident bread witch in Paris. Illustrated with care, the game blends exploration, baking, and relationship-building, evoking the magical vibes of Kiki’s Delivery Service. Lunne, who is older than the young protagonist of that film, shares a similar joyful personality and thirst for adventure.
In the game, players bake snacks, serve customers, explore Parisian landscapes, and form connections with non-player characters. The ability to heal hearts through magic and baking forms the core of the experience, appealing to fans of cozy gaming and titles like Spiritfarer.
A new demo launched with Steam Next Fest provides the first two hours of content, allowing players to sample the full game’s elements without cost. Unlike some event demos, this one is not scheduled for removal at the end of Steam Next Fest, so it will stay accessible for repeated playthroughs.
The full release of The Witch’s Bakery is planned for sometime in 2026, though no exact date has been announced. Further details might emerge during the Wholesome Direct showcase, typically held in early June. The game will launch on multiple platforms, including PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox, with pricing yet to be revealed.
This title targets those seeking nostalgia and emotional storytelling combined with light management mechanics, offering a relaxing escape in a magical setting.
