The value story
It has never been cheaper than $3.99. That was January 2013. It has gone on sale once in the 14 years tracked here, most recently in January 2013.
On value it sits in the top 49 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre. Naheulbeuk's Dungeon Master ($8.74, scores 31) outscores it, and so does Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! ($0.99, scores 31). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
apart from making chocolate, there are no time constraints you wander the globe, haggling with merchants, and concocting different kinds of chocolate: what's not to like?
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
It crashed constantly until I set it to small window mode and then it worked fine. And I was still willing to play it before I figured that out so that should tell you how fun it is
even in compatibility mode this does not work with windows 11, it opens but the cursor is not shown which means you cant see where you should move your mouse, so while it could theoretically be played it is extremely not recommended, which is a shame because it is a fun game.
