After many years away, a letter calls you home to the little seaside town of Starfall. Your grandmother's bakery is yours now, and the night folk need somewhere warm to go. Starfall Bakery opens at dusk and closes at dawn. You bake bread by lantern light, serve a nurse coming off her shift, a lonely lighthouse ghost and a bear who can't hibernate, and spend the quiet hours exploring the coast. Nothing is timed against you, and nothing waits on a calendar. New places open as you play. BAKE THROUGH THE NIGHT - 92 recipes, from Moon Bread to secret treats you discover by experimenting - Quick, relaxed baking minigames: knead, roll, time the oven and pipe the icing - Learn what each customer loves and serve them their favourites - Upgrade your ovens, restore the old rooms and decorate every corner - Set the sourdough crock, jam pot and butter churn before bed, and take on big catering orders BEFRIEND THE HEARTHLINGS - 32 gentle creatures to befriend, never catch - Each one has its own story. Rescue some from cages, hatch others from warm eggs, and some are born in the Pet Nook - Every Hearthling helps in its own way: warmer ovens, bigger tips, rare ingredients EXPLORE AT YOUR OWN SPEED - Misty marshes, a crystal cave, a snowy peak, a sunken ruin, a moonlit garden and more - Sail Captain Reed's boat to 12 islands, each with its own story, a cozy villain and a twist - Save each island to open a branch bakery there and bring home new recipes, records and bakery equipment - Hidden places with stories of their own, like a town that has lost its memories - A quest book and achievements that suggest ideas without ever forcing you A TOWN THAT GROWS WITH YOU - 12 regular customers plus townsfolk with birthdays, letters and friendships - Seasonal festivals, weather and music that changes with the year - Special moments with each friend, and townsfolk who keep their own nightly routines - A relaxed fishing game off the pier, curios to collect, and a kitchen radio with a weekly recipe - Hire staff to help run the bakery, or run it all yourself - Fund town projects and watch Starfall grow MADE FOR PLAYING YOUR WAY - One purchase unlocks everything.
