Check out how we test and review games here Stardew Valley creator Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone has committed to leaving Stardew updates behind to focus fully on his upcoming game Haunted Chocolatier.  While the creator has explained that he will probably make a Stardew Valley 2 someday, he also revealed that Haunted Chocolatier will be very “similar” to the beloved farming game.  Haunted Chocolatier might as well be Stardew Valley 2  In a new interview with PC Gamer, Barone explained that Haunted Chocolatier is a more action-focused take on the Stardew formula… but farming is replaced with chocolatier-ing.  Just like how farming in Stardew takes a backseat to the game’s life sim elements, Barone is doing the exact same with his new game. This means that action RPG gameplay may be important to some degree, but simply living in the world is more important.  “I will just say generally that it is a life sim game, and it is similar to Stardew Valley in many ways,” the creator said. “It’s the kind of game I like making. I’m really interested in Haunted Chocolatier to really crank up the imagination and the creativity. I want to go all out with doing weird and interesting things. I love giving people memorable experiences.” Barone explained that Haunted Chocolatier is designed to be the darker take on the Stardew experience, although it won’t be “evil” like its Diablo influences.  “I view [Stardew Valley] as sunny and bright and lush, and Haunted Chocolatier is more dark and mysterious,” he said. “Not evil dark, but just like mysterious dark, and a little bit paranormal, you know, things that, you’re not sure what this is all about.” Haunted Chocolatier is still years away, but it’s incredibly exciting to see more from ConcernedApe. After a decade of post-launch updates for Stardew, it’ll be incredibly exciting to see just how much the creator has grown when his next release finally launched.
