The developer of Alchemy story has released an all new super cute game about restoring a rundown bakery.
Eloise Laroche is no stranger to making absolutely adorable indie games that are also relaxing and addicting. After personally getting to enjoy both Alchemy Story and Bunny Park, I am overjoyed to announce that Eloise released an all new game about restoring a bakery to its former glory, and making some pretty sweet treats along the way.
About Lemon Cake
As previously mentioned, Lemon Cake puts you in the role of a budding entrepreneur who takes on the task of restoring an old bakery. Like other restaurant simulation games, there will be a variety of different recipes for you to learn and master for your customers to enjoy.
The monies you make from said sweets will allow you to expand your operations with new equipment and more recipes to choose from.
You will also need to grow plants and tend to cows and chickens. This way, you will always have the freshest ingredients, including milk and eggs, to make your pastries the best in the land.
The more amazing recipes you learn, the more customers you will attract and the more popular your establishment will become. Just how “hot” will your bakery be? Only one way to find out explore Lemon Cake for yourself!

Éloïse Laroche, the sole developer of adorable farming simulation game Alchemy Story, is working on another small game with bunnies! I already absolutely adore her art style and you can even follow her progress on the game’s development on her Twitch channel. Éloïse assures her fans that working on this game will not take away from completing Alchemy Story and is planning on pricing it at only $3 US. You can already Wishlist Bunny Park on Steam here and expect its full release on January 14th, 2020!
For those of you that haven’t been following the developer on Twitch, so far she’s worked on the animations, emotes and textures of the bunnies, added characteristics, behaviors, and personalities for each bunny, and added lots of decorations! All you have to do is customize your park and watch as your bunnies run around, reacting to your snacks and toys! I don’t think I’ll be able to stop myself from collecting all of these little cuties and giving everything their little hearts desire!

Alchemy Story is coming to Steam Early Access this August 22nd and you’ll be able to transmute six villagers and complete the first part of the storyline. Meaning, there will be some adorable animals walking around town that were former humans but have been cursed by the Witch. They need your help to remember who they are! You’ll also get to farm, fish, garden, forage, chop some trees, mine, and brew potions. See below for Éloïse Laroche’s, the sole creator of the game, newest update which includes one last spellbound character and some other amazing new additions.
Devlog – July 2019
After helping this mysterious cat complete his transmutation, all spellbound villagers will be liberated from the Witch’s curse! While the village will be restored, this doesn’t mean the end of your quest. On the contrary, a new chapter will begin once you meet the Witch…
Luckily, a few villagers weren’t spellbound and this fisherman, Aiden Luckywave, is one of them! You’ll be able to chat with him to get your first fishing pole, learn some fishing tips and complete deliveries to earn some gold.
Research and brew six new potions, such as the Forester Potion which will increase your luck when cutting down trees, or the Golden Brew to gain a random amount of gold when you drink it!
Unlock different outfits and hairstyles in the villager’s shops! Once an outfit is purchased, it’s placed in your dresser and you can change clothes from home. The plan is to add more clothes you can unlock from quests and secret areas around the village later on.
If you missed the last update for Alchemy Story, you can read our article here: Snacko, Alchemy Story, Ooblets, & Button City Indie Updates. You can also view some of our gameplay footage of an earlier demo of the game here: Alchemy Story – Demo Version Summary. Something that was mentioned in our demo was how adorable the chicks are with their little red bows so naturally we here at myPotatoGames will be all over that new in-game T-shirt.

Éloïse Laroche has posted another devlog update on Steam with great new features! She’s the sole developer behind Alchemy Story, an adorable farming simulation game. If you missed our early demo summary and gameplay footage of Alchemy Story, you can catch up with us right here. To remind you, all the villagers have been turned into animals and it is up to you to turn them human again with a little bit of alchemy. Below you’ll find a summary of the 4th character added to the game which also means you get a new area and a new item.
Penelope Fineyarn
A new character has been added to the village, but she’ll remain an animal until you help her out! Penelope is a skilled miner that will help you to explore the mines. Once you help her remember who she is, she’ll sell you hammers, minecarts, and different ores everyday.
The Mine
Much like the forest area that you unlock thanks to Jasmine, the mines are an entirely new area you can explore and get new items from. The developer plans to add secret areas and more quests in the mine later on in development of the game.
Gather stone, coal, silver, gold, sapphire and ruby from these boulders! Those items will be useful either as building materials, to fuel furnaces and ovens, to brew potions, or to trade in exchange of coins.
Furnace & Minecarts
To progress in the mine, you’ll need to fuel your furnace. Different ingredients such as wood, coal, and maple leaves can be used as fuel.
You can buy up to six different minecarts, one for each type of ore. Each one will allow you to carry more of that item in your inventory. As always, the developer is skilled at making anything look adorable, even minecarts. Also, what a creative and visually-pleasing way to show what you are carrying in your inventory!
The Hammer
This new tool can be upgraded up to four times in Penelope’s shop to spend less energy breaking rocks! Again, you’ll have access to these hammers once you encounter Penelope and complete some tasks.
Along with this newest update there were also a few bug fixes. Stay tuned for more on this game with myPotatoGames as we continue to keep an eye on the development of Alchemy Story. Want to catch up on other updates? Check out our article on Equilinox here, a relaxing nature simulation game.

With a new month comes a new devlog update from Éloïse Laroche, the sole developer behind Alchemy Story, an adorable farming simulation game. If you missed our demo summary and gameplay footage of Alchemy Story last time, you can catch up with us right here. Now, let’s dive in to the new features added or changed as the developer continues to progress with the development of the game.
William Sharpleaf
A new character has been added to the game that will also need saving and help transforming back into a human. William is the town’s lumberjack. He will sell lumber, mushrooms, and better axes. The axes will help you to explore further into the forest as you need to cut down trees to find keys.
New character: William Sharpleaf Gnome Builders
Three adorable gnomes have been added as a reward for transmuting William. With their help, you’ll be able to build and upgrade different buildings around town. As of now, you’ll be able to build a hot air balloon and upgrade your barn and coop. The developer intends to later add more buildings that will be available for construction such as a market, fishing nets, and a house expansion.
Helpful, happy gnome builders Hot Air Balloon
The hot air balloon in our opinion will be a most valuable item to build as it will allow you to fast travel into the forest to previous levels you’ve already unlocked. No more having to restart at the beginning of the forest every time you enter.
Handy hot air balloon Coop & Barn Expansions
The barn and the coop both have three different sizes now. Both buildings start as small with about 3-4 spaces each and you’ll be able to upgrade them two more times. The expansions allow you to keep new types of animals or more of the same ones. It’s always great to have more animals.
More space, more animals! Feedback & Development
The creator has heard everyone’s comments and has made improvements based on the feedback she has received this past month. See below for all of the new changes!
- The groundhog is easier to find as she stays out of the ground until you talk to her and start managing your garden.
- Charlotte sends a letter to better explain how the garden works.
- After adopting your first animal, Noah will send you a letter to explain how to feed and take care of them.
- The main interface will notify you of which area you are in. I’m still working on a map, but this information will let you know quickly where you are.
- I’ve fixed collisions so it’s easier to interact with certain objects.

Éloïse Laroche, the sole developer behind this adorable title, has recently announced that she will be releasing her game on Steam Early Access this August, and can already be added to your wishlist. To get caught up with Alchemy Story, read our article about it here. Now let’s dive in to her Devlog post for the month of March 2019.
Day & Night Cycle
A welcome addition to the game is that of the transition from day to night. There are now wonderfully detailed animations of the sun in the morning sky and the stars at night.
The Fairykeeper
Jasmine Lightwing has a relationship with the fairies and will help us with gaining their trust as well! This means new areas to explore.
Forest & Lumber
You now have the ability to cut down trees and to collect the lumber. This and other upcoming features of things you will be able to do in the forest are as follows:
- Axe upgrades. These will allow you to cut down trees faster and lose less energy.
- Energy potions. You’ll be able to regain your energy without leaving the forest.
- Special levels. You’ll encounter unique forest levels.
- Hot air balloon. This will allow you to fast travel to a specific level.
The Garden
Another exciting update is that of the new garden features. Walk over to your crops and see their names as well as how many days are left until they are ready to harvest. This will make farming so much easier! Charlotte will have garden bed expansions for sale in her shop.
Moreover, some other character animations for Arabella and technical updates have been added such as the ability to zoom in and out with the camera. You can check out the details of the Devlog on the Patreon page here. If Alchemy Story piques your interest, stay tuned on our website for an upcoming review of the game!
