As of right now, ConcernedApe plans to both develop and publish Haunted Chocolatier on his own. Stardew Valley was the first game ConcernedApe published, and from a logistical standpoint, that process is another part of the foundation Haunted Chocolatier is built upon, another legacy that carries over from Stardew Valley's storied journey from small indie game to industry powerhouse.

Haunted Chocolatier Evolves Stardew Valley's Sales Process

There was no direct interaction with those who actually purchased their products. At the end of the day, the player would receive their money. In Stardew Valley, the player best made money by selling items, which was done by simply placing them in a shipping bin. However, selling crafts in Haunted Chocolatier is also likely to be much different from Stardew Valley, as the player will directly manage their storefront with the assistance of ghosts.

Haunted Chocolatier seems to have a similar theme of leaving city life behind to become a mysterious town's chocolatier. They make a new life for themselves by growing, creating, and selling their own products.

In Stardew Valley, the player character leaves their unsatisfactory office job to repair and run an old farmstead. It looks like fans of Stardew Valley will likely enjoy a familiar-but-new experience. It's not a sequel to its predecessor Stardew Valley, but will have similar building blocks of town life, adventuring, foraging, and more, while still showcasing unique traits all its own. Haunted Chocolatier is ConcernedApe's next game, and everything revealed so far makes it look like Stardew Valley's younger sibling.
