No ads. No microtransactions. No internet required. No inappropriate content. Just baking, learning, and fun.

Meet Daisey

Your companion cat Daisey sits in the corner of your bakery and comments on everything. She'll congratulate you on a good sale, warn you when prices are too high, drop random maths facts, react to your costume choices, and occasionally just... be a cat about it. She has over 100 unique context-aware dialogue lines. Kids absolutely love her. You can customize her fur color and hat. Yes, she wears hats. Steam post image Daisey has opinions. Many, many opinions. "DING DING! Your baking is ready! Click the oven before it goes cold. Meow!"

Why Wishlist?

Wishlisting is the single biggest thing you can do to support a solo indie developer. Here's what it does:

  • You get notified the moment the game launches (and when it goes on sale)

  • It helps Steam's algorithm show the game to more families who'd love it

  • It's free and takes 2 seconds

  • It makes a solo dev's entire week — genuinely, every single wishlist notification makes me smile

If this sounds like something your family would enjoy, please hit that Wishlist button. And if you know a parent, teacher, or homeschooler who might be interested — share this page with them!

The Roadmap Ahead

Early Access is just the beginning. Here's what's planned:

  • More recipes and seasonal events

  • More learning scenarios and quiz content

  • Mac support

  • Community-requested features and improvements

  • Full release with even more content

Your feedback during Early Access will directly shape the game. This is a bakery we're building together.
