Crumbhollow

The old bakery on the village square is yours.

Every morning, choose what to bake from the recipes you know and buy the flour, butter, honey and berries for it. Then open the door: villagers come in with a wish over their head, the ovens hum and steam, and you take each tray out golden and hand Granny Maple her loaf, Little Pip his honey buns and Old Fennick his croissants. In the evening, count the coins, learn a new recipe, buy a second oven or a longer counter, and see what the village is saying.

Crumbhollow is a short, gentle bakery sim with a real ending. Over a season of twelve to fifteen days of two or three minutes each, your name grows in the village until the Harvest Festival committee gives you the stall on the square. How the festival goes depends on how well you baked, but everyone is welcome: nobody goes bankrupt, nothing burns, and an unserved villager simply comes back tomorrow.
