Hans

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!

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

Hans is a passion project made in a few months by a handful of college students. Art is pencil on watercolor paper, colored and edited in Photoshop.
