About This Demo

This is an alpha demo for High Times. It features the first 7 in-game days and is roughly about 3% of the full game. In this version, you will meet 8 characters (out of 20+), 5 of whom are the main characters (your exes). The main scenes in the game are fully voiced.

Several features are not yet implemented, everything is work-in-progress, and things may change in the full version. If you encounter any game breaking problems or bugs, please let us know in the forums. Thank you!

ABOUT THE GAME

In a world where one can literally eat their feelings, you work at The Hotbox, a special donut shop where the donuts you make are infused with mood enhancers — a substance that changes the emotions of your customers. From flavors that'll give them more courage, to ones that cheer them up, it's up to you to figure out which mood is best suited to help your troubled customers.

If that's not enough, your exes are back in town, and they all have a bone to pick with you. Too bad "closure" isn't one of the moods that's on the menu, so you'll have to navigate complex emotions through the power of heartfelt conversations, and perhaps, with the help of a donut or two.

If you enjoy donuts, listening to stories, and mending relationships, then get ready for the High Times! 🍩

FEATURES

🍩 A Sweet Kind of Therapy

As a mood confectioner, you have a variety of flavors in your arsenal, each corresponding to a different emotion — patience, sincerity, nostalgia, among others. What your customers say and feel changes depending on what 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

Be your own boss and manage a café, prepare and design donuts from scratch, serve the right orders to make customers happy, collect tips, unlock new tools and ingredients, upgrade your shop, and discover recipes!

🍩 Closure SImulator

You've dated them, ghosted them, and now they're back with a vengeance. Your exes are now your customers, giving you the chance to finally say all the unsaid things that have been lingering. Will you heal from the trauma of the past, and perhaps even experience the most elusive and mythical of all emotions—closure?

🍩 English Voice Acting

A star-studded 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 in the story ultimately affect your relationships. Customers will remember what you say to them, so think twice before making that decision! Will you remain as friends, or rekindle an old romance? The choice is yours!

🍩 A Cast of Misfits

Aside from your exes, the town of San Mazo is full of zany misfits. From a mommy lover to a girl in a chicken suit, 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 the story come to life with over 50+ animated comic book-styled panels and vibrant illustrations (CGs)!
