High Times is a casual indie simulation where you manage The Hotbox, a bakery that offers mood-boosting baked goods to customers struggling with emotional issues. Your job is to listen to their concerns and serve appropriate emotional doughnuts whether for courage, happiness, or something else entirely to help them overcome their personal struggles and mend their relationships. The gameplay combines shop management elements such as baking, serving orders, collecting tips, unlocking tools, and discovering new recipes with a storyline focused on emotional storytelling.
