Sunny Lab is a French indie studio whose debut title, The Witch's Bakery, launched on October 14, 2026. The game released for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. Its release followed a Kickstarter campaign in 2024 that raised approximately 310,000 euros. Prior to launch, the game had over 150,000 Steam wishlists.
The game is a 2D adventure RPG set in modern-day Paris. Players control a young witch who runs a bakery. In the June announcement the character was named Rune; the October release notice named her Renee. Both accounts describe the same loop: baking and serving customers by day, exploring Paris in the evening, and training magic or decorating the shop at night. The witch enters a magical space called the Heart Palace to help people with closed-off hearts. The game features hand-drawn art of Parisian districts including Montmartre and Grands Boulevards. Cecile Corbel, who composed music for The Secret World of Arrietty, provides the opening theme.
The June announcement set the release for August 20. The game instead launched on October 14. The Japanese price is 2,400 yen including tax, with a 10 percent discount sale running until October 29. A physical edition is planned for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, with a digital cookbook as its pack-in; the cookbook was supervised by a professional pastry chef.

Sunny Lab and Silver Lining Interactive released The Witch's Bakery on October 14, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. The 2D adventure RPG stars Renee, a cheerful witch who runs a bakery in modern-day Paris and can see into people's hearts. Each day divides into three phases: serving customers at the bakery during the day, exploring Paris in the evening, and training magic or decorating the shop in a cozy atelier at night. Renee enters a magical space called the Heart Palace inside people who have closed off their hearts, guiding anthropomorphized emotions back to where they belong and gathering ingredients for bread that heals them. She runs the bakery with Orio, a shape-shifting cat-like companion. Cecile Corbel, who composed music for The Secret World of Arrietty, provides the opening theme. The Japanese price is 2,400 yen including tax, with a 10 percent discount sale running until October 29.

The game will be available on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S for 2,400 yen.

The game features hand-drawn art of Parisian districts like Montmartre and Grands Boulevards. Music is composed by Cécile Corbel, known for her work on Studio Ghibli's The Secret World of Arrietty. A physical edition with a digital cookbook (supervised by a professional pastry chef) will come later for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2. The game raised approximately 310,000 euros on Kickstarter in 2024.
