Visual Novel Story: In a beautiful elven village hidden away in a lovely little forest, one pastry chef has just reached the last recipe in a sacred book passed down from her grandmother. Ginger has waited her entire career and quite possibly her life for this, and cannot wait to finally have created everything inside. However, the last recipe requires an ingredient that she doesn't have in her pantry. TRUE LOVE! Ginger must go on a journey to find this true love, hopefully in one of the three admittedly quirky guys she knows. One problem though- she sucks at it. Good luck. Featuring: + Three boys to awkwardly attempt romance with! Around 20,000 words per route. + 9 endings + 3 CGS + 8 BGs + Original music! The MC: Ginger: The protagonist, whose name can be changed. She has three possible personality types depending on player choices, and each boy will favor a different one. The Boys: Radley: Ginger's childhood friend who helps around the store, but is usually more of a hassle than actually useful due to all of his pranks. He's a complete germaphobe and is always seen wearing gloves. Carver: A rude, cheap little jerk who is quite self conscious about his height. He can be found trying to swindle people out of pretty much anything in their pockets, and/or finding excuses to make a mess in Ginger's shop. Benjamin: New in town and a bit... eccentric. His greatest loves are the two sheep he keeps with him at all times, and he uses their wool to knit all of his clothing. developed by Gourmet Visual and Repulse, music by Mandy Kowara
