High Times – Cooking Visual Novel

About This Game

High Times is an anti-dating visual novel and donut cooking sim hybrid.

In this game, you work at The Hotbox, a special café that serves mood-altering donuts to help people escape from the grind of their day-to-day lives. As a mood confectioner, it’s part of the job to figure out which mood is best suited to help your troubled customers. From flavors that’ll cheer them up, to ones that stir up bittersweet memories, it’s up to you to make that perfect donut.

And if that’s not enough, your exes are back in town — as customers you can’t refuse — and they’re here to make things complicated. Too bad “closure” isn’t one of the moods that’s on the menu, so it’s up to you to navigate complex emotions through the power of heartfelt conversations, and perhaps, with a donut or two.

If you enjoy donuts, drama, and rolling in the dough, then get ready for the High Times! 🍩🌿

FEATURES

🍩 A Sweet Kind of Therapy
As a mood confectioner, it’s part of the job to figure out which mood is best suited to help your troubled customers! You have a variety of flavors in your arsenal, each corresponding to a particular emotion — courage, sincerity, cheer, patience, among others. What your customers say changes depending on what mood you serve them, so be careful! It’s not just about serving donuts; you’re also serving advice.

🍩 Be the Best Donut Joint in Town
Manage a café, prepare and design donuts from scratch, serve the right orders to make customers happy, collect tips, unlock new ingredients and discover recipes!

🍩 Move On From Five Exes
Get ready for drama because your exes are back — as customers you can’t refuse — and they’re here to make things complicated. Too bad “closure” isn’t one of the moods that’s on the menu, so it’s up to you to navigate complex emotions through the power of heartfelt conversations, and perhaps, with the help of a donut or two.

🍩 English Voice Acting
A cast of professional English voice actors will be bringing the cast to life! Every character will be voiced, except the player’s.

🍩 Choices Matter & Multiple Endings
The donuts you serve and the choices you make ultimately affect your relationships with your customers. Will you get lost in a temporary high, leave things a hot mess, or find closure? They will remember what you say to them, so think twice before making that choice!

🍩 A Quirky Cast of Characters
Aside from your exes, the town of San Mazo is full of zany characters — like a girl in a chicken suit or a badass duck with a knife. Get to know them all, serve their favorite donuts, and find out what makes them tick.

🍩 Customizable Main Character
Choose the face that broke a lot of hearts for a more personal experience. Players can opt for a male or female character, and have the freedom to customize their appearance like skin color, hairstyle, etc.

🍩 Dynamic Comic Book-Styled Visuals
Watch your story come to life with animated comic book-styled panels and vibrant CGs!

🍩 Original Soundtrack
