The Witch's Bakery is out now on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, released October 14, 2026. A physical edition is planned for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.
The Witch's Bakery is a 2D adventure RPG from French indie studio Sunny Lab, published with Silver Lining Interactive. It stars a cheerful young witch (called Rune in early coverage, Renee in the launch story) who runs a bakery in modern-day Paris and can see into people's hearts. The day splits into three phases: serving customers by day, exploring Paris in the evening, and training magic or decorating the shop at night. Renee enters a magical space called the Heart Palace inside people who have closed off their hearts, guiding anthropomorphized emotions back where they belong and gathering ingredients for bread that heals them. A shape-shifting cat-like companion named Orio runs the bakery with her.
The release plan moved twice. In late May, coverage put the game in August 2026 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and Switch 2, with a soundtrack from Cecile Corbel of The Secret World of Arrietty. By June 25, Silver Lining Interactive had set August 20. The game shipped on October 14, 2026. The Japanese price is 2,400 yen including tax, with a 10 percent discount sale through October 29. Kickstarter backers raised roughly 310,000 euros in 2024, and the Steam wishlist count passed 150,000.
Some details drift between the stories: the protagonist is named Rune in June, Runna in May, Renee at launch; Corbel is credited with the soundtrack in one account and the opening theme in another. The physical edition is consistent across coverage, planned for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch with a digital cookbook supervised by a professional pastry chef as the pack-in.

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.

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.

Silver Lining Interactive announced on June 25 that The Witch's Bakery, developed by French indie studio Sunny Lab, will launch on August 20. The game will be available on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S for 2,400 yen. Players control a young witch named Rune who runs a bakery in modern-day Paris. The day is spent baking and selling bread, the evening exploring the city and interacting with characters, and the night upgrading magic and decorating the shop. Rune can enter the "Heart Palace" of emotionally closed-off people-a magical space where feelings take physical form-and guide those feelings to heal them. 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.
