About This Game





Hans is a visual novel baking simulator in which you play as an alien dropped off on Earth during World War 1, who bakes magical pastries to help the people in your small town. You can also choose not to make what they ask for, because sometimes their requests are not as thought out as they may think. Just be prepared, because your actions have eight endings worth of consequences!






Bake magical foods for the local townsfolk
In this moody handdrawn game, you have the power to help the townsfolk by baking magical pastries! Will you accept their requests?




Summon aliens to obtain magical ingredients
Enter the mysterious cat shrine and tap into your magical powers as an alien to obtain a special ingredient to use in your baking.




Help two friends fall in love
Addler is interested in their friend, Karl! Will you bake them some magical muffins to give them a boost of confidence and ask Karl out?
