‘The Pepper Prince’ – A Point & Click Adventure of Fairytale Bakers

Hansel and Gretel have come a long way since their adoption by the gingerbread witch, finding themselves baking a wedding cake for royalty in The Pepper Prince.

You get to choose which fairytale confectioner you wish to play as, guiding them through an ASCII romp through the silly world of The Pepper Prince. Really, baking a cake shouldn’t be a huge deal for some talented bakers, but things rarely go right in fairy tales, do they? So, when the weather goes sour, someone important goes missing, and a butt needs soothing, it’s on you to fix them.

The Pepper Prince tells its story with lovely rhymes and charm, drawing you into its lighthearted world. Expect a bit of ridiculous humor along with this story, too, if the gold-pooping donkey from the original game jam version is any indication.

The first episode of the first season(ing) of The Pepper Prince is available on Steam.
