Haunted Chocolatier - Looting and leveling in Stardew Valley style

New information about the upcoming game from Stardew Valley developer ConcernedApe has now come to light. The developer has made interesting comparisons that you can read about here. 

Even though we still have to wait to play the game from Stardew Valley maker ConcernedApe, or Eric Barone, on our home PC, we now got new information about the game in a pre-Christmas mood. It was already known that Haunted Chocolatier is not a farm sim, as it will be your task in the game to run a chocolate shop for ghosts. 

New information

As was also clear, combat is supposed to play a bigger role and be more complex than in the predecessor title. This is something the developers had already announced. Now Barone compares the combat of the new game to that of the old one and comes to the conclusion that the combat in Stardew Valley was very simple in comparison. In addition, he reports that his preference for Diablo 2 had an influence on the game. The reward that he always feels when he levels up and loots stats, he wanted to bring in, even though he believes that Stardew Valley fans are not particularly interested in it. 

According to Barone, the most important game element is collecting ingredients. To get these, you have to explore magical worlds that you can reach using portals. You are not safe from fighting there, as Barone reports. In addition, there should be a "weekly chocolate news system". This means that certain varieties are particularly popular at certain times and their use can contribute particularly to the customers being satisfied and improving their own reputation. However, managing the shop should still play a subordinate role. Barone reports that from a certain point in time, hard-working ghosts can take over selling the goods for us.
