Filipino fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of Haunted Chocolatier from concerned developer, Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone, and the lad has not yet made any official statement on when the game would be officially available. This latest development update from Barone in June 2026 has reignited interest completely with the now updated case stating that developments are progressing well, although it will only be released when it’s ready.
If this release is a must see, the best you can do is to add Haunted Chocolatier to your Steam Wishlist from the Philippines. The game unfortunately isn’t up to pre-register or pre-order, but wishlisting reveals that you’ll get updates as soon as it comes.
Can You Pre-Register for a Haunted Chocolatier?
You can not register for the Haunted Chocolatier just yet. Haunted Chocolatier does not offer pre-registration, pre-orders or Early Access as of June 2026.
For now, players can only add the game into their Wishlist with Valve’s Steam platform, which is this situation where the developer has yet to announce the opening of purchasing or downloading.
ConcernedApe has been very clear that he doesn’t want to release games before he is sure that they are up to his own standards. That’s probably going to be a bit longer until fans can purchase the game, but putting it on their Wishlist will mean they won’t miss the word.
How to Wishlist a Haunted Chocolatier on Steam Mobile?
It takes less than 2 minutes to add the game to your Steam Wishlist.
If you don’t already have the official Steam Mobile app, download and install it from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Use your current Steam ID to log in with the account you created. To join Steam, you need to join for free and email your user ID.
After logging in, type Haunted chocolatier into the search box. Visit the official Steam page of the game, created by ConcernedApe. Click on “Add to Wishlist” and the game will be added to your Wishlist instantly.
If ConcernedApe tells you when it will release on Steam, if it has pre-orders, or if they otherwise post a big Steam status update, you will be informed accordingly, depending on your account settings.
What Happens After You Wishlist the Game?
Steam automatically populates the list of users with games they’ve been interested in and notifies them either when the game hits storefront or when big discounts are offered on releases, or when the game is launched.
It also ensures that it’s never difficult to locate again via your Steam Library and Wishlist page. This is a good way for Filipino gamers who aren’t checking Steam daily to find out about new updates, as there’s no need to search online all the time.
Why Has a Haunted Chocolatier Been Delayed?
In his June 2026 developer blog, Eric Barone admitted that it’s been over five years in development.
“Systems I am designing always feel intuitive and enjoyable because I keep on re-engineering the system,” said Eric Barone. He gave an example of the recipe book interface, which has been heavily revised over time as he did not want the interface to be overpowering, but clean and easy to understand.
In addition, Barone has mentioned previously that Haunted Chocolatier would be much bigger than Stardew Valley with more maps, more monsters, more equipment, items and more in-depth gameplay systems.

Where Can Filipino Fans Follow Official Updates?
