April 2025
fun game with a cute and amusing atmosphere, but don't buy just yet if what you're primarily interested is the bakery/shopkeeping aspect of the game. most of my fun was had through the combat aspect of the game, while the bread-selling part felt more like a minigame break than anything else. it gives me the impression that while the combat has a very solid foundation to add new enemies, weapons, etc. onto, the shopkeeping still needs more strategy and/or variety in its core loop to be interesting enough to want to play for several hours. still, you won't lose much from trying this game out yourself if you need more foxgirls in your life like i do. the other thing i found notable is that this game has a very peppy and punchy style to it. there's no handholdy tutorials dragging you everywhere, no long maps to travel through, and no lengthy story cutscenes introducing the main character and her circumstances before setting you free. it's all very 'go, go, go!' pacing-wise so you'll easily know within 1 if not 2 hours whether you like the game. also... love these graphics. it's like i'm playing a cartoony 2d-sidescroller mmo again, but this time i'm not bombarded by lag and my own inadequacy from being a f2p player surrounded by whales. very nice! 4/25 UPDATE: almost a year later and everything i said above still applies to the game, but the trajectory this early access is going through is nevertheless satisfying regarding the addition of new (loveable) characters, areas, events, upgrades, and more. i find games like Aeruta really come into their own as more 'stuff' gets packed into it and thus the more microdecisions the player is now allowed to make. looking forward to chapter 3!

This game is absolutely phenomenal. The characters! The combat! The bread! And the developers are always working hard to add more content. I highly recommend supporting this game through its early access.

It is similar to Cuisineer or Dave the Diver where you run and upgrade a restaurant/store and go out to hunt for ingredients. As you make more money you can then upgrade stuff. Such gameplay loops are fun to me but not necessarily enough in and of itself to be enjoyable as a whole. However, this game is pretty fun so far. The gameplay is like a platformer, you can do a little dash too to dodge stuff. I do feel the movement/reaction speed of the character feels a bit stiff, though, which is a bit of a downside, but also something you can learn to roll with, it just doesn't feel as good as I wished it did if that makes sense. Running the bakery is fun, the customers pay and you have to do a string of inputs on time (arrow keys) and it keeps it engaging. The graphics are cute, the vibe of the world and its characters are adorable too, and the music is pleasant and fits perfectly. Reminds me of the days I used to play LaTale which is good nostalgia vibes. I think if you liked Dave the Diver and enjoy platformers you will enjoy this game a lot.

A lovely little game about gathering materials to manage a bakery. The game may certainly not be as long as it, but I get very heavy "Dave the Diver" vibes of greatness from the way things are going. - The game has very good pacing. I played on "normal" mode and the challenge was just right and paced itself very well with the story. I felt like I always had something to do, but was not overwhelmed. However, the way things are going, the story will last around 10 hours of playtime, which is not very long. I heavily wish that it were extended. - The story is written very well and integrates itself with the other parts of the game seamlessly. Although, I could tell instantly that we were heading for a twist in the story when I saw an Aeruta Crystal fragment pop out from Kocori's body after defeating her. LOL - I wish that there were more minigames in this game, such as obstacle run, dungeon puzzles / puzzles to solve in town / puzzle for putting together Chirara's badges etc. Of course, bosses themselves are good minigames, and I terribly miss the music minigame in Ch. 2 and the obstacle run from the festival, and content is not abundant as you progress further. I feel like minigames like these cut through the grind and provide a breath of fresh air. - Of course since we are in Early Access there are some bugs. Personally, I encountered scaling issues with my ultrawide 3440x1440 monitor, and sometimes text bubbles are extremely large and interfere with gameplay elements (problem goes away for a while after restarting the game). Nothing that can't be fixed in Unity though. Development has been very promising in this Early Access period and I can't wait to see the entire game, or even help out with playtesting / development!

Very cute game overall. Chaya is adorable. Game plays sort of like the Atelier series, in that you're primarily going through stages to gather ingredients to make bread to sell and earn money to...go through stages to gather ingredients to make bread to sell and earn money. You get the idea. There's a decent upgrade system, but it's very expensive, meaning two to three days of bread sales might net you a single upgrade. The art style is great; it's got that "high definition pixel art" look to it. Enemy sprites are, so far, pretty well varied - not much recycling of models with palette swaps, at least not as far as I'm in. The two weapons Chaya can pick from feel VERY distinct, which is great. I'm glad you can switch what she uses before each adventure. Might be nice to be able to switch even during a stage. If you already can, I just haven't figured it out yet :) I think my sole complaint right now is it's very grindy in order to get ingredients to make bread. I'm sure it's on purpose, and that's fine, I just don't have as much time to devote to doing that as I'd like.
