High Times invites players into a world where baking meets heartfelt storytelling. This unique blend makes its upcoming release one to watch for fans eager to explore emotional narratives wrapped in the charm of a bakery setting.
At the center of High Times is the Hotbox bakery, no ordinary pastry shop. Here, players craft donuts using mood-enhancing ingredients that literally help customers process their emotions. The concept of Donut Therapy turns cooking into an act of emotional healing, a fresh twist that adds depth to the gameplay.
