About the Game

About This Game

“I thought if I kept delivering prophecies for 2,000 years, everything would turn out fine. I was wrong.”

Iris was once a messenger of the gods. Burdened by the weight of divine commands and human prayers, she eventually burned out and made a choice no one expected — she ran away.

Now, in a quiet corner of Eos City, the city that never sleeps, she runs a small bakery that only opens at night, baking the hidden emotions of her customers into cakes. And at the same time, she must protect the fragile life she has built, while staying one step ahead of the gods who are still searching for her.

Read emotions as color.
Choose ingredients.
Color the cake.

In Iris and the Moonlight Bakery, you don’t just follow recipes—you read what can’t be said. Through Iris’s eyes, emotions appear as color: a lonely violet, a restless orange, a soft, bittersweet apricot. Your job is to understand these colors and turn them into something real.

But even in a city that never sleeps, the past has a way of catching up.
The gods she ran from are looking for her.
And the rent is always due.
