About the Game

In a world where you can literally eat your feelings, you work at The Hotbox, a special donut shop where every donut is infused with mood enhancers that can change your customers’ emotions. But people don’t always know what they need, so from flavors that give them courage to ones that lift their spirits, it’s up to you to choose the right mood and help each troubled customer. Listen to their stories, offer advice in the form of donuts, and help mend broken relationships.

Official update history
Dear Mood Confectioners,
[p align="start"][p align="start"]Thank you so much for a wonderful launch week! We're happy to know that so many of you are enjoying making donuts and getting attached to the quirky customers of High Times! 🍩✨We pushed a patch for v1.0.2 yesterday and here are the patch notes:
Patch Notes for build v1.0.2 (Windows/Linux):
Added missing background music to several key story and romance moments (Emmette, Harry, MJ, Lucy, Stacy, JoJo, Riri, and more), making these scenes feel more emotional.
Improved the in-app tutorial for Homebox (decoration app).
Fixed save thumbnails in specific save slots.
Fixed some possible, specific crashes when loading a save game.
Fixed the Backlog showing an incorrect "read" status after navigating through the Main Menu.
Fixed the Jukebox missing a record when starting a New Game.
Fixed miscellaneous scripted event bugs.
Fixed a bug wherein certain romantic lines are appearing outside of their conditions.
Fixed a rare crash for characters with only one repeatable dialogue option available.
Issues/Improvements we're currently investigating and will be addressed soon in upcoming patches:
Multi-topping behavior
New decorations that stop certain characters from visiting your shop
An easier way to get different endings
We see some players express concern about starting the game all over again if they didn't get the ending they wanted. The thing is, you don't have to! :3
There's a Rewind feature in Tender that unlocks once you have completed a character's story. A green, rewind button will appear and you can choose which specific part of that character's story you'd like to go back to. So if you only missed one option towards the end, you can just rewind back to that specific scene without restarting your entire progress.
